The directory holds 201 publicly researched profiles of European industrial suppliers across 10 countries. Many of these companies exhibit at the events above. Trade fairs are the ideal opportunity to move from online research to an in-person conversation, see products demonstrated live, and build direct relationships with the engineering and sales teams behind the products.
Events like SPS in Nuremberg, Hannover Messe, and Automatica in Munich bring together competing suppliers in the same halls. This makes it possible to compare drives, sensors, PLCs, robotics, and motion control systems in ways that product sheets and websites cannot replicate.
Industrial AI, collaborative robotics, digital twins, and energy-efficient manufacturing are reshaping the sector. These events feature keynotes, panel discussions, and live demonstrations that provide early insight into what is coming next.
Use our supplier directory to identify potential partners before attending an event. Filter by product category, country, and certifications to create a shortlist of companies you want to visit on the show floor.
Preparing for a trade fair?
Cloudly Studio, the team behind this directory, helps manufacturers create launch-ready product visuals, animations, and interactive demos before the show. Useful when prototypes will not be ready in time, when products are too large for a stand, or when a configurable range needs to look consistent across every variant.
