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.

the intelligent combination of innovative constructions
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.
