Performance Meets Optimism at Stanztec 2026

Together with the exhibitor advisory board, trade fair promoters P. E. Schall extend their invitation to the Stanztec trade fair for stamping technology in Pforzheim from the 16^th through the 18^th of June, 2026. The traditional industry event offers fresh impetus for the future of stamping and forming technology. The exclusive meeting of experts in “Stamping Technology Valley” will be one of this year’s trade fair highlights. Emphasis will be focused on professional expertise, regional ties and optimism.

The eighth Stanztec trade fair for stamping technology will be “looking ahead with optimism” from the 16^th through the 18^th of June, 2026. This reflects the view of the exhibitor advisory board, who expressly emphasise the importance of staying firmly on course for the future, particularly in times of economic uncertainty. This year’s Stanztec will once again set the standard for overcoming today’s challenges. Amongst other factors these include the generation shift, the shortage of qualified personnel, disrupted supply chains and high production costs. Increasing product customisation with small to very small batch sizes, increasingly complex part geometries and, at the same time, rising demands for quality, precision and the conservation of resources through the avoidance of scrap represent further pressing issues for manufacturing companies. This is why production efficiency and cost-effectiveness are more important than ever before in order to survive within the market.

For the organisers of Stanztec and the entire stamping technology community in the northern Black Forest around Pforzheim, it’s of crucial importance to showcase the region’s technical expertise and focus on safeguarding the local economy with its vital jobs. The region surrounding Pforzheim has traditionally been a centre for stamping and forming technology. The companies located in “Stamping Technology Valley” appear at Stanztec as an internationally active interest group and, at the same time, a regionally organised community. The CCP Congress Centre in Pforzheim is Stanztec’s traditional, highly popular venue. Concentrated industry power with globally acclaimed high-tech solutions meets up with a strong sense of regional community. Expert visitors from all over the world value this special trade fair atmosphere and the unique concentration of stamping technology specialists.

Exhibition floor space at the CCP in Pforzheim is fully booked out again this year, with roughly 150 exhibiting companies. The compact trade fair format, an in-depth exchange amongst all industry stakeholders and cutting-edge technology presentations make Stanztec an attractive, widely celebrated summer highlight. Networks are maintained and state-of-the-art solutions are showcased at the event. Expert visitors will gain valuable insights into modern, sustainable stamping and forming technology at this information platform. It’s about process improvement, flexibility and the efficient use of resources, as well as multifunctionality, process-integrated quality assurance and ease of use. The community cordially invites all interested parties to the 8^th Stanztec, taking place from 16 to 18 June 2026 at the CCP Pforzheim, and is eagerly anticipating three inspiring days at the trade fair in a forward-looking, optimistic atmosphere. The trade fair promoters will provide a free shuttle service from the Kohlebunker car park in Pforzheim to the CCP: stanztec-messe.de/anreise-hallenplan/.
