On the fourth day of this year’s “K” fair, about 30,000 people flocked to Düsseldorf – 1,000 more than did so at the previous edition. Having reached its half-time, a total of 139,500 visitors from across the world have so far come to the plastics bonanza, which translates into a 7.3% rise over the 2013 edition, or a total of 9,500 more visitors.

The number of different languages spoken testifies to the international background of the guests currently visiting Düsseldorf. The queues at stands selling the famous German sausages are sheer endless, and making your way through the halls continues to pose a challenge.
