Once again this year, there’s no getting round area30 at ‘kitchen autumn’: top-class exhibitors, new products and stage highlights for 2026 await the industry
For specialist kitchen retailers, buying groups, tradespeople, architects and project developers, area30 has long been much more than just a product exhibition. It is a place where product ranges are assessed, new business contacts are made and investment decisions are prepared. Anyone wishing to find out which new products, innovations and solutions are shaping the market will find the greatest concentration of expert contacts and companies in one place at area30.
Project-based business is gaining in importance
area30 is also increasingly becoming an important platform for information and networking for project developers, architects, interior designers and commercial planners. Whether it’s residential construction, serviced apartments, micro-apartments or high-end residential projects – the demands placed on kitchen solutions are changing rapidly. area30 offers the opportunity to compare the ranges of leading manufacturers in one place, make contacts and find out about materials, appliances, finishes and design solutions at an early stage. Anyone planning projects for the coming years should not miss this industry gathering.
More direction, more substance
In 2026, the trade fair will introduce new highlights: with ‘Folding Rule Day’, the carpentry and joinery trades will be given their own dedicated focus for the first time. The Furniture Industry Training Factory will make its trade fair debut and, together with the German furniture associations, will focus on securing a skilled workforce.
This year, the stage will once again serve as a hub for knowledge-sharing and inspiration. Renowned experts will address the topics currently shaping the industry – from consumer reluctance and sales through to design and sustainability, right up to artificial intelligence, social media and new growth strategies. Visitors will gain practical food for thought and concrete solutions for their day-to-day operations to help optimise their businesses.
The stage highlights can be specifically incorporated into your trade fair itinerary – either as an inspiring start to the day or as a valuable conclusion following discussions with exhibitors. The presentations on the area30 stage complement the business-to-business transactions and make your visit to the trade fair even more fruitful.
area30 brings together innovations, expertise and business
