A+A — International Trade Fair for Safety, Security and Health at Work

A+A 2027 takes place from October 19 to 22, 2027 at Messe Düsseldorf. Held biennially in odd-numbered years and organized by Messe Düsseldorf since 1954, A+A is the world's leading event for occupational safety and health. The 2025 edition brought together 2,335 exhibitors from 69 countries and 66,636 visitors from 145 countries, across approximately 80,000 square meters spread over thirteen halls.

The scope ranges from personal protective equipment to professional clothing, from fire protection to workstation ergonomics and risk prevention. HSE managers, industrial directors and distributors come to try out helmets, gloves, harnesses, shoes, and flame-retardant outfits. An effective stand therefore includes a changing room or fitting cabin, well-lit mannequins, and a layout that separates the flow of passing visitors from scheduled appointments.

Four days at a German trade fair are won beforehand, through the venue's technical files, shipping logistics, and the assembly team on site — a field that EXPACE practices from Düsseldorf to Dubai. See the La Barrière Automatique stand at Intersec, the MC2 Technologies stand at Milipol, and the Kermel stand for protective textiles.
