EuroBLECH 2026, the 28th International Sheet Metal Working Technology Exhibition, will be held at the Hanover exhibition grounds from 20 to 23 October. The show is organised by RX and occupies halls 11 to 17 and 27, opening from 09:00 to 18:00 from Tuesday to Thursday and until 17:00 on the Friday.
The exhibition covers the complete sheet metal technology chain, from raw materials and handling through cutting, forming, joining and finishing to automation, software and quality control. Features for 2026 include a new Innovation Zone, the NextGen Technology Stage, the EuroBLECH Award ceremony, guided tours and a curated conference on smart manufacturing and sustainable production, according to the organiser.
The event matters to executives because sheet metal processing underpins automotive, aerospace, construction, energy and machinery manufacturing, and EuroBLECH is the largest exhibition of its kind in the world. Chief executives and plant directors of manufacturers use the show to commit to capital equipment, automation and software investments, and the machine tool makers use it for their major launches.
The Hanover exhibition grounds are operated by Deutsche Messe in the south of Hannover.
