Never before has the industry experienced such rapid change. This is also impacting the demands placed upon technical trade fairs. As a result, DeburringEXPO will no longer be held as a stand-alone event, and instead will be incorporated into the new PARTS FINISHING trade fair. It combines the topics of deburring technologies, component cleaning and surface finishing in a two-day event, which will take place for the first at the Karlsruhe Exhibition Centre on the 12th and 13th of November, 2025.
Megatrends such as the mobility and energy transitions, demographic change and digita­li­sation are posing new economic and social challenges, but are also generating new oppor­tu­nities. They neces­sitate new products and customised production strategies from manufac­turing companies – all the way down to the sub-supplier level. These changes are affecting the trade fair landscape as well. “After many discussions with exhibitors at Debur­ringEXPO and an in-depth analysis of how various trade fairs are developing, we’ve decided to stop holding the trade fair for deburring techno­logies as an independent event,” reports Hartmut Herdin, managing director of private trade fair promoters fairXperts GmbH & Co. KG. “In the future, the subject of deburring techno­logies will be brought together with the fields of component cleaning and surface finishing at the new, two-day PARTS FINISHING trade fair.” Surface finishing includes the process steps of fine and ultra-fine grinding, polishing, honing, lapping, vibratory grinding, blasting and brushing. The trade fair will be held once every two years – in the even numbered years – at the Karlsruhe Exhibition Centre, for the first time on the 12th and 13th of November, 2025.
