Lightweight construction technologies are now a key issue for global industry. The resultant increased efficiency in resources

and processes is welcomed in every sector of industry.

HANNOVER MESSE 2018 is therefore now offering exhibitors a new, dedicated platform. The Integrated Lightweight Plaza is

a showcase for lightweight construction technologies for all types of materials and processes across the industry spectrum.

Featuring display space, a Speakers’ Corner and a networking area, it gives direct access for over 200,000 visitors to the latest

innovations in lightweight construction, and opens up a window on the future.

The Integrated Lightweight Plaza forms a focal point in the centre of Hall 5. Strategically positioned on the main visitor circuit

at HANNOVER MESSE, it touches all stages of the process chain: plant engineering and production automation, design and ma-

terials, function integration, modelling and simulation, recycling technologies, as well as measuring and testing technologies.

The Integrated Lightweight Plaza invites you to put your solutions centre stage with product exhibits, live demonstrations or

lecture-style presentations. An entry in the HANNOVER MESSE Lightweight Construction Guide and inclusion on the itinerary

for organized guided tours are also possible. Simply ask for details – we’ll be pleased to talk to you about your options.

Highlight exhibits

You can use large-scale exhibits, interactive models or mul-

timedia project studies to demonstrate the extraordinary

variety of industrial applications for which lightweight con-

struction solutions have been developed.

Live demonstrations

Assisted by expert moderators, you can demonstrate inno-

vative processes, product applications and current trends in

lightweight construction for all stages of the process chain.

Technology live in action is a real eye-catcher!

Lightweight Construction Café

Located at the heart of the Integrated Lightweight Plaza,

the Café is a place for Plaza exhibitors to meet and talk with

engineers, corporate buyers and R&D professionals. The re-

laxed ambience is ideal for intensive networking.

Speakers’ Corner – Open Space

Let visitors know where your special expertise in lightweight

construction lies: the Speakers’ Corner at the Integrated

Lightweight Plaza is the right place to present your practical

solutions to an international trade audience.

Lightweight construction solutions: comparing the options

The future belongs to lightweight construction. It facilitates the efficient use of labour, materials and energy, increases process

efficiency, and lowers production costs. This is why many industrial sectors look to Hannover to find lightweight construction

solutions, including the car industry and manufacturers of commercial vehicles and rail vehicles, logistics, electronics, mechani-

cal and plant engineering, energy technology, aviation and medical technology. The question is: which materials and production

processes are best for any given application? The Integrated Lightweight Plaza allows industry to compare the options directly.

Hotspot for industrial sectors,

materials and processes.

Lightweight construction materials? Many industrial users

still think first of aluminium and composites. However the

range of available materials is now much wider.

For example:

■ Biogenic materials

■ Functional materials

■ Plastics and composites

■ Metals and ceramics

■ Textiles and fibres

■ Cellular materials

Major advances in production engineering have made light-

weight construction an attractive alternative – not least in

terms of cost – for more and more manufacturers. Show

them what you have to offer:

■ Additive manufacturing

■ Alteration of material properties

■ Machining and cutting

■ Coating and fastening

■ Fibre composite and textile technology

■ Primary shaping and forging
