Stanztec 2026 is Gearing Up for Take-Off

Only about four weeks to go till the 8^th Stanztec trade fair for stamping technology: the exclusive summer highlight for the stamping and forming industry is headed straight for the future from the 16^th through the 18^th of June, 2026. This year’s Stanztec is aiming to establish benchmarks for mastering current challenges – such as the generation shift, the shortage of qualified personnel, disrupted supply chains and high production costs – because production efficiency and cost-effectiveness are more important than ever before in order to survive within the market.

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 at the Congress Centrum in “gold city” Pforzheim (CCP) offers fresh impetus for the future of stamping and forming technology. The exclusive meeting of the experts in the “Stamping Technology Valley” region around Pforzheim will be one of this year’s trade fair highlights. Exhibition floor space 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 summer highlight, at which networks are cultivated and state-of-the-art solutions are showcased. 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 trend towards product customisation with small and very small batch sizes is impacting manufacturing, as are increasingly complex part geometries and ever-stricter standards for quality and precision.

A great variety of stampings are used in countless products. Many companies in the Northern Black Forest region are specialised in the production of precision stampings, stamped and bent parts, and the associated tooling. Safeguarding the local economy and securing important jobs is a key priority for these businesses in the traditional “Stamping Technology Valley”. They appear at Stanztec as an internationally active interest group and, at the same time, a regionally organised community. The collective strength of the industry, with its globally recognised high-tech solutions, is complemented by strong regional ties. Stanztec’s event organisers and exhibitors are thus focusing on professional expertise, regional character and exclusivity. Expert visitors from all over the world value this special trade fair atmosphere, as well as the unique concentration of stamping technology specialists.

The trade fair promoters and the exhibitor advisory board cordially invite you to three inspiring days at the event in Pforzheim from the 16^th through the 18^th of June, 2026. Expert visitors will experience world-class, brilliant stamping technologies at the CCP. The trade fair promoters will provide a free shuttle service from the Kohlebunker car park in Pforzheim to the CCP: www.stanztec-messe.de/en/arrival-parking-hall-plans/.
