interlift on course for success: High demand a year before the trade fair begins

With around a year to go before the next edition of interlift Nuremberg, the world’s leading trade fair for lift industry, further growth is on the cards, and numerous exhibitors have already registered. interlift will take place from 12 to 15 October 2027 at the Messe Nürnberg.

Nuremberg – With a year to go before interlift 2027, the signs are already very promising: many major players in the industry have already registered for interlift 2027, and two-thirds of the exhibitors are from abroad, ensuring a high level of international participation. A number of companies have decided to expand their exhibition stands so that they can showcase even more innovations in Nuremberg; as a result, around 80 per cent of the floor space occupied at the last interlift has already been re-let. In addition, a number of new and returning exhibitors will be taking part in interlift, thereby highlighting the great significance of the world’s leading trade fair for the international lift industry.

The industry regularly faces changing requirements and new developments. Achim Hütter, Chairman of VFA-Interlift, highlights the need for professional exchange at interlift 2027: “With the introduction of EN ISO 8100-1/-2, rising cybersecurity requirements and increasing digitalisation, significant changes are on the horizon for our industry. These developments are also driving the advancement of new technologies and product solutions. interlift 2027 will demonstrate how companies are putting these requirements into practice and which innovations will shape lift technology in the years to come.”

Liftcity Nuremberg

The first edition of interlift at its new venue at Messe Nürnberg was well received by both exhibitors and visitors to the world’s leading trade fair. Nuremberg offers a wide range of hotels as well as good international transport links. As such, Turkish Airlines is once again offering special deals for international exhibitors and visitors to interlift 2027, which can be booked using the event code 112TKM27 via the following link: https://www.turkishairlines.com/de-de.

Michael Gubisch, Deputy Chairman of VFA-Interlift, is already looking forward to the industry gathering in Nuremberg: “interlift has arrived in Nuremberg! The inaugural event in 2025 demonstrated the potential offered by the new venue. In 2027, we aim to build on this and further strengthen interlift’s position as the world’s leading trade fair for lift technology. It provides companies with a platform to showcase their latest products to an international audience of industry professionals, forge new business contacts and expand their presence in international markets.”

During the four days of the trade fair, visitors to the forum can attend a wide variety of themed presentations.
