Fresh take on TechniShow's segment layout.
The manufacturing industry is constantly changing. This is why TechniShow and ESEF Maakindustrie 2026 are introducing a renewed, chain-oriented segment format that better reflects how companies work together today.
No more traditional hall layouts, but a clear layout that follows the entire production chain, from development to production and supply. Fitting for the 75th anniversary of TechniShow: already 75 years in motion with the industry.
More overview, more coherence and more relevance for each visitor.
What does this mean for visitors?
We bring companies together based on their role within the chain, so that you as a visitor can find the right solutions faster. At the same time, we ensure that familiar segments from previous fairs remain recognizable within the new set-up. This ensures a future-proof, efficient and inspiring trade fair experience, in which innovation and cooperation are central.
Companies are clustered within the same chain sections, so you can easily find your way around and quickly discover everything you're looking for. Thus, we combine the best of both worlds: the familiar segment recognition with a modern, chain-oriented setup.
