The eighth edition of this industry event, held at its traditional venue in the Congress Centre of \u201cGold City\u201d Pforzheim (CCP), will once again showcase cutting-edge, brilliant stamping technologies. The trade fair for high-end solutions in the field of stamping and forming technology combines high levels of technical specialisation with regional and international focus. The exhibitor advisory board has chosen \u201coptimistic progress\u201d as the motto for the industry event.<\/em>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;895114&#8243;]\u201cWe\u2019re very much looking forward to the exclusive expert meeting at the eighth Stanztec from 16 to 18 June 2026,\u201d explains Bettina Schall, managing director of trade fair promoters P. E. Schall. \u201cStanztec is always a highlight and is valued as a unique communication platform. Its compact format, intensive exchange of ideas with expert visitors and world-class technology presentations make Stanztec one of the most important trade fairs in the industry,\u201d emphasises Georg Knauer, Stanztec project manager. The exhibitor advisory board\u2019s clear commitment to Pforzheim as a hub for stamping and forming technology underscores its regional ties. And the community operates internationally as well. Networks are cultivated and state-of-the-art solutions are showcased in Pforzheim. Concentrated expertise, outstanding technology and a compact format \u2013 that\u2019s what makes stamping technology so unique,\u201d says Knauer.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_size=&#8221;h4&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;960137&#8243;]Three Exclusive Trade Fair Days for the Stamping Technology Community[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;976471&#8243;]According to the project manager, exhibition floor space at the CCP in Pforzheim is entirely booked out. \u201cWe\u2019ll be welcoming a total of about 140 exhibitors.\u201d The eighth edition of the industry gathering will thus build on the success of the previous Stanztec in 2024, where 138 exhibitors presented their innovations to expert visitors from more than 30 countries. In addition to Stanztec\u2019s special charm, exhibitors also praised the excellent quality of the expert visitors at \u201cStamping Mecca Pforzheim\u201d and the impressive visitor turnout on the very first day of the event. \u201cAnd this will be the case once again this year,\u201d promises the project manager, \u201cbecause the globally unique concentration of specialists in the northern Black Forest around Pforzheim combines enormous expertise with strong appeal,\u201d says Knauer.<\/p>\n<p>The stamping technology sector is facing demanding economic and environmental challenges. Increasing product customisation with small and very small production runs, increasingly complex part geometries and, at the same time, stricter demands on quality, precision and the conservation of resources by avoiding waste represent just a few examples. Production efficiency and cost-effectiveness are currently more important than ever before, in order to remain competitive within the market. The ongoing shortage of qualified personnel must also be offset. Modern machines must fulfil current requirements with regard to process improvement, flexibility, multifunctionality and ease of use. Machine manufacturers must also respond to new demands placed on peripheral equipment for feeding and parts handling.<br \/>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_size=&#8221;h4&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;178791&#8243;]Exhibitor Advisory Board: Expertise, Regional Focus and Optimism[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;582134&#8243;]\u201cEspecially in light of the currently turbulent economic situation, it\u2019s particularly important for the trade fair advisory board to stay on course,\u201d says Klaus M\u00fcller from Leicht + M\u00fcller Stanztechnik in Remchingen, Germany, spokesperson for the Stanztec exhibitor advisory board. \u201cIn addition to the overall economic turmoil, we\u2019re also dealing with an ongoing transition from one generation to the next. The current situation could lead to structural changes, which would affect productivity in our region. For this reason, it\u2019s vitally important to showcase our regional strengths and thus secure our business location \u2013 along with its valuable jobs.\u201d This is why the advisory board, together with trade fair promoters P. E. Schall, pays close attention to Stanztec\u2019s core values of professional expertise and regional relevance when approving exhibitors. Visitors to the eighth Stanztec in 2026 will also be presented with an array of experts for old and new business relationships. The advisory board has chosen \u201coptimistic progress\u201d as the motto for this industry event.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_size=&#8221;h4&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;180120&#8243;]Stanztec Provides Fresh Inspiration for Future Viability[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;105599&#8243;]Stanztec will be one of the year\u2019s trade fair highlights. \u201cThis year\u2019s key topics will once again include new technologies in toolmaking and the functional integration of machines,\u201d says the project manager. Process-integrated quality assurance is also emerging as a trend. Automation and digitalisation continue to play an important role in production as a whole, and in stamping technology in particular. The community is eagerly anticipating the three-day event, which will take place at its usual venue in the CCP Pforzheim from the 16th through the 18th of June, 2026.[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_size=&#8221;h4&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;130495&#8243;]Keep yourself well informed![\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;642792&#8243;]To the website: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanztec-messe.de\/en\/\">https:\/\/www.stanztec-messe.de\/en\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Technical information on the trade fair and the industry: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanztec-messe.de\/en\/news-stories\/\">https:\/\/www.stanztec-messe.de\/en\/news-stories\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Subscribe to the newsletter: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stanztec-messe.de\/en\/#newsletter\/\">https:\/\/www.stanztec-messe.de\/en\/#newsletter\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Follow us on LinkedIn: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/stanztec-messe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.linkedin.com\/company\/stanztec-messe\/<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][vc_custom_heading text_size=&#8221;h4&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;154979&#8243;]<em>64 Years of Trade Fairs for Markets \u2013 Schall Trade Fairs\u2019 Recipe for Success<\/em>[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;941541&#8243;]<em>Schall has developed successful business platforms with internationally recognised trade fairs for quality assurance (Control), optical technologies, components and systems (Optatec), stamping technology (Stanztec), automation in production and assembly (Motek), bonding technology (Bondexpo), plastics processing (Fakuma), sheet metal working (Blechexpo) and joining technology (Schweisstec).
