Exhibition stands in Hannover: EXFAIR builds at Hannover's leading trade fairs

With around 392,500 sqm of hall space and 58,000 sqm of open-air space, the Hannover exhibition grounds are among the largest in the world. They host Hannover Messe – one of the most important industrial trade fairs worldwide – as well as LIGNA (woodworking), Agritechnica (agricultural machinery), INTERSCHUTZ (fire protection) and other international leading trade fairs. EXFAIR builds exhibition stands for exhibitors at Hannover trade fairs.

Which stand builder works at the Hannover exhibition grounds?

EXFAIR Markenerlebnisse from Villingen-Schwenningen builds exhibition stands in Hannover for exhibitors from mechanical engineering, automation, agricultural machinery, woodworking, energy and digitalisation. From 3D planning to complete set-up and dismantling – all from a single source.

How a trade fair project with EXFAIR works and what it costs is explained on our page Exhibition stand construction in Germany.

Hannover Messe: stands for industry and automation

Hannover Messe is one of the world's most important industrial trade fairs: according to Deutsche Messe, HANNOVER MESSE 2026 attracted around 110,000 visitors, about 40 per cent of them from abroad, and around 3,000 exhibitors. It covers automation, energy, the digital factory, drive technology and supply. At Hannover Messe, exhibitors need a stand that communicates technological expertise and a focus on the future. EXFAIR plans and builds Hannover Messe stands for machine builders, automation specialists, energy suppliers and technology companies.

LIGNA Hannover: stands for woodworking and forestry technology

LIGNA is an international leading trade fair for woodworking and forestry technology. According to Deutsche Messe, LIGNA 2025 attracted around 78,000 visitors from 156 countries. At LIGNA, machinery manufacturers and tool exhibitors need open demonstration areas where machines can genuinely be seen in action. EXFAIR coordinates crane transport, floor load permits and machine installation at LIGNA.

Agritechnica Hannover: stands for agricultural technology

Agritechnica is one of the world's largest trade fairs for agricultural machinery – according to the DLG, Agritechnica 2025 attracted around 476,000 trade visitors from 171 countries. EXFAIR builds exhibition stands for agricultural machinery exhibitors at Agritechnica – robust and professional, with the necessary machine presentation areas and experience in building on open-air sites.
