With 328 exhibitors representing more than 400 brands, the organisers of Steinexpo 2026 have expressed their delight with the show’s growth.
The 2023 trade fair presented 305 international exhibitors at the active basalt quarry which is operated by Mitteldeutsche Hartstein-Industrie AG (MHI).
“Following the painful six-year break caused by the pandemic, Steinexpo 2023 set an impressive benchmark with 61,700 trade visitors and 305 exhibitors. This outstanding success, built over decades, was more than rewarding for all of us,” said show managing director Dominik Rese.
Despite the current economic challenges resulting from geopolitical conflicts and their consequences, the organisers believe the outlook for Steinexpo remains as positive as it was in 2023.
“We have succeeded in attracting more exhibitors and increasing the occupied exhibition space. Preparations are running at full speed, creating the perfect foundation for a successful exhibition,” added Rese.
Visitor expectations are slightly more cautious with expects numbers to remain at a similarly level to 2023.
Covering 180,000 sqm across the quarry, the trade fair is open each day between 9.00am and 5.00pm. Safety helmets are mandatory; they can either be bought on site and visitors may bring their own.
