SPS – Smart Production Solutions is the major European trade fair for industrial automation. Next edition: 24 to 26 November 2026 at Messe Nürnberg.

SPS: industrial automation in Nuremberg

Organized by Mesago Messe Frankfurt since 1990, SPS brings together more than 1,000 exhibitors and an international professional audience around automation, robotics, industrial artificial intelligence and connected production. The exhibition also offers conferences and technical meetings.

For a manufacturer of components, control systems or software, it is a venue for contact with industrial engineers and buyers.

Messe Nürnberg: a large exhibition centre

Messe Nürnberg is located in the south-east of the city, served by the underground (line U1) and about 15 minutes from the main railway station. The exhibition occupies 15 halls: a highly visible stand and a good location are essential.

Germany belongs to the European Union: road transport from our workshops does not require any customs formalities. The assembly rules of the exhibition centre (heights, loads, service providers) must be validated with the organizer.

Industrial and automation stands: how we work

An industrial stand must demonstrate reliability and performance: secure demonstration areas, highlighting products in operation, well-integrated screens and private meeting spaces for technical discussions. Visit our page industry and construction stands and our tailor-made stands.

Tips for exhibiting at SPS

• Book early: a good hall location depends on the registration date.

• Plan demonstrations: machinery or models in operation attract engineers.

• Isolate meetings: technical discussions require a quiet space.

• Anticipate logistics: heavy loads and access to loading bays are planned with the organizer.
