Intelicare is pleased to announce that it will be representing its exclusive laboratory press partner, Fontijne Presses, at Interplas 2026, the UK’s leading plastics industry exhibition. Taking place at the NEC Birmingham, Interplas brings together manufacturers, suppliers, research organisations and industry professionals from across the plastics and polymer processing sectors.

As the UK and Ireland partner for Fontijne Presses, Intelicare supplies precision laboratory presses trusted by universities, research centres and manufacturers

for polymer testing – with the presses being used to prepare samples for further analysis and testing, for applications including compounding, recycling and small-scale compression moulding. Other applications include composite development and advanced materials research. The exhibition provides an excellent opportunity for visitors to learn more about the latest developments in laboratory press technology and discuss their material testing requirements directly with our team.

Visitors to the stand will also be able to view a LabManual 50, and joining the Intelicare team on the stand will be Luc Pattyn, Sales & Marketing Director at Fontijne Presses. He and the Intelicare team will be available to discuss new technologies, applications and industry trends.
