Exhibitors can choose from diverse forms of participation

No other trade fair offers so many interesting packages and different forms

of participation.

The ultimate showcase for innovations in the supply industry

The trade fair’s keynote themes include topical issues, innovative ways of optimizing resource

and materials efficiency, as well as lightweight engineering solutions.

Two key talking points dominate the global industrial landscape. Firstly, the realization

of the intelligent factory, and this depends on the ability of subcontractors to seamlessly

integrate their smart workpieces and materials into production processes.

Secondly, it is necessary to find supply solutions that optimize industrial processes and

make end products lighter, more efficient, more economical and even improve durability.

In an increasingly price-sensitive market the properties and quality of individual compo-

nents are a major competitive factor.

Industrial Supply is the only event where you can meet potential buyers from every

area of industrial application and every continent at the same time and place. Use this

unique opportunity to grow your business. Fulfil your business goals by showcasing

your materials, components, systems or processes to new groups of customers.

We look forward to seeing you in Hannover!

Exploit synergies and create

cross-industry connections.

Harald Schmillen, Managing Director,

Mittelstandsförderung im Landkreis Neuwied GmbH

“HANNOVER MESSE remains the leading international place for contacts

and is therefore highly interesting. In the course of five days we make as

many contacts as we would normally expect to make after at least four

weeks of hard effort. It is always good to see something happening at the

stand. That is why we produce beer glasses live – and fill them. This ensures

that we attract an audience and get to speak to people.”

Pascal Steinküller, Iron and Steel Casting Division,

BDG – Bundesverband der Deutschen Gießerei-Industrie

“Over a period of decades our cooperation with HANNOVER MESSE has

proven really successful. In fact, for us in the supply industry it has been the

bedrock. One of the reasons why we favour HANNOVER MESSE is that many

of our big customers from the metal casting industry are also based in the

Hannover region. The trade fair therefore offers great opportunities for net-

working. Currently, the German metal casting industry leads the European

market. Thus our presentation here serves to demonstrate our technological

expertise to the competition. We definitely intend to be back next year.”

Dr. Theodor L. Tutmann, Managing Director,

Industrieverband Massivumformung e.V.

“As a supplier we have found that Industrial Supply offers unbeatable

opportunities to showcase our expertise. Visitors enjoy the additional

benefit of being able to learn about the capacity and competence of

suppliers. Industrial Supply is also an excellent international platform

for knowledge transfer.”

All the key industrial sectors are present at HANNOVER MESSE. With a total of 10 flagship trade fairs taking place in

parallel, the world’s leading showcase for industrial technology offers a lot more than just an overview. As exhibitor

at Industrial Supply, you’ll benefit from all the crossover traffic from these other shows. So it couldn’t be easier to

make contact with new business partners from neighbouring buyer industries or forge links with suppliers.

Applications-oriented lightweight construction

Modern materials such as carbon fibre reinforced plastics,

hybrid materials consisting of various constituents and

different composites, and functionally gradient materials

are playing an increasingly important role in industrial

applications. Industrial Supply is the ideal platform for

showcasing your innovative materials to potential buyers

from the automobile, aerospace and wind energy indus-

tries. These visitors, as well as buyers visiting trade fairs

such as Wind and MobiliTec, will be interested to see

how your innovations can improve efficiency in the use

of energy and materials in the user industries.

Materials, research and knowledge sharing

What contribution can the latest findings from R&D

make towards upgrading production technology and

thus improving the productivity and competitiveness

of companies? New production technology, processes

and know-how are a focus of the trade fair activities at

Industrial Supply and attract large numbers of visitors.

The proximity of the leading trade fairs Research & Tech-

nology, Energy and Wind represents a potential source

of business and contacts which your company can target.

Forging and casting technology, fixing systems and more besides

High-quality forged and cast products are used in every core industrial sector. Leading-edge technology and innovative

solutions, in particular lightweight construction, have led to an increase in demand for new materials and processes.

This presentation, located in Halls 4 and 5, embraces forged and sheet metal products, machined parts, cast products,

as well as fittings and fixing systems. For industrial users this event is an absolute must.

with modern, user-specific materials. The Materials Forum

addresses all the relevant topics relating to materials,

processing and applications. Experts from industry and

science provide insights into the complex world of mate-

rials – from intelligent surface treatment and nanotech-

nologies to smart materials, lightweight engineering and

composite materials. Researchers, development special-

ists, engineers and buyers from industry engage in a dia-

logue with scientists about groundbreaking innovations

and their potential areas of application.

Supply meets…

The supply industry responds quickly to technological

trends and developments, providing cost-effective

solutions for automated serial production geared to user

industries. “Supply meets…” is a series of events which

provide exhibitors with a platform for a cross-industry

exchange, thus stimulating discussion on a broad range

of issues. Last time more than 60 visitors from the auto-

mation and lightweight engineering sectors attended

the event “Automation meets CFRP”. They took part in a

panel discussion, which was followed by a get-together.
