Stamping Engineers are Cordially Invited to the Congress Centre in Pforzheim

In just a few days, the stamping and forming industry will gather at the 8^th Stanztec trade fair for stamping technology at the Pforzheim Congress Centre (CCP). The compact exhibition format, an in-depth exchange amongst all industry stakeholders and cutting-edge technology presentations will provide expert visitors with the ideal platform for experiencing state-of-the-art stamping technology solutions and networking from the 16^th through the 18^th of June, 2026. Current issues and ideas on how to remain competitive on the market in the future will dominate the industry event: production costs, supply chains, the generation shift, the shortage of qualified personnel and increasing automation.

Production efficiency and cost-effectiveness are more important than ever before in order to survive within the market. And thus the exhibitor advisory board and the trade fair promoters cordially invite all users of stamping and forming equipment for the production of stamped parts for a broad range of industries to attend the upcoming Stanztec from the 16^th through the 18^th of June, 2026. For businesses, it’s crucial to produce goods even more cost-effectively in order to survive economically. This is why the traditional industry event at the Pforzheim CCP aims to provide fresh impetus for the future of stamping and forming technology. In order to ensure convenient accessibility, the trade fair promoters will provide free shuttle service from the Kohlenbunker car park in Pforzheim to the CCP.

“Everything’s ready to go and the CCP is entirely booked out,” says Georg Knauer, project manager at trade fair promoters P. E. Schall. “The exhibitor advisory board and we, as the trade fair organisers, are looking forward to this exclusive and inspiring meeting of the experts at Stanztec 2026. It’s very important to everyone involved to showcase the region’s expertise. Above all, securing the business location along with important local jobs is a top priority,” says Knauer. The northern Black Forest, and in particular 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 a regionally organised community. “Key topics currently being discussed in the stamping and forming industry include process optimisation, flexibility, the conservation of resources, multifunctionality, process-integrated quality assurance and ease of use,” explains Knauer. “It’s quite simply a question of future viability, and Stanztec 2026 will highlight some promising approaches in this regard.”

“The expert gathering for stamping technology, held at its popular venue in Pforzheim, is celebrated once every two years as a highlight in the industry’s trade fair calendar,” says Bettina Schall, managing director of trade fair promoters P. E. Schall. “It offers a unique combination of expertise, regional character and exclusivity. Expert visitors from all over the world value the special trade fair atmosphere with its highly concentrated gathering of stamping technology specialists. “We cordially invite all users of stamping and forming equipment to Pforzheim in order to experience world-class, brilliant stamping technologies and gain valuable insights for further process optimisation from the 16^th through the 18^th of June, 2026,” emphasises Bettina Schall.

Stanztec, held in the Pforzheim Congress Centre at Bertha-Benz-Platz 1 in Pforzheim, will be open on all three trade fair days from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Free shuttle service is available to all guests and expert visitors from the Kohlenbunker car park on Dammstrasse in 75175 Pforzheim: https://www.stanztec-messe.de/en/arrival-parking-hall-plans/.
