About ExtruWorld
Strategic gathering of key players in the extrusion industry.
ExtruWorld serves as the training hub for extrusion across the globe. It provides various courses and workshops frequently featuring international speakers. Additionally, ExtruWorld is a leading industry gathering spot to network with key players in the extrusion industry while learning more about the various aspects of extrusion.
In 2009, CFAM Technologies launched their first training initiative, ExtruAfrica, which focused on extrusion in Africa. What was initially a single annual conference, the program expanded to include regular courses and business development workshops. As the scope broadened from Africa to encompass all continents, it was decided to reevaluate the initiative. Consequently, in 2024, ExtruWorld was created to reflect this global focus.

ExtruWorld offers a number of short courses. It also serves as the pre-eminent business meeting place for the industry.
