Over 500 exhibitors expected at Valve World Expo 2024

Hands-on technological innovations, international encounters and a lively exchange of information: all of this awaits experts at Valve World Expo from 3 to 5 December 2024 in Duesseldorf. 515 exhibitors from 35 countries will demonstrate that the industrial fittings and valves sector is booming and showcase a plethora of innovations and solutions for the global energy transition, construction industry, the wide area of water and sewage, the chemical and petrochemical industries, the shipbuilding and marine sector, food and pharma industries as well as the classic fossil fuel sectors of oil and gas.

Exhibitor numbers reveal that this trade fair is one of the most international events in Messe Duesseldorf’s portfolio: 413 international and 102 German companies have their sights firmly set on their No. 1 Duesseldorf show as an innovation and communication platform in December. At this point in time over 15 000 square metres are already occupied in Halls 1 and 3.

European companies from Italy, UK, Spain and Turkiye are strongly represented. Overseas exhibitors will be travelling from China, India, South Korea, Taiwan and the USA to Duesseldorf.

The great innovative power boasted by this industry in 2024 is reflected not only in the international KCI Conference but also by the exciting line-up at the Expo Forum in Hall 3 and the presentation of the Valve Stars Awards. The stage events in Hall 3 will kick off with four industry lectures starting at 11.30 am on 3 December, organised by publishers Vulkan Verlag.

On 4 December the programme features further talks and panel discussions with industry players; from 2.00 pm KCI will take the stage leaving it to the trade fair sponsors Kitz, MRC Global, Emerson, Neway, Velan and rotork, for the rest of the afternoon and on 5 December. They will report on the altered challenges from their companies.
On 4 December, however, all eyes will be on the Forum stage at 1.00 pm: for the second time now (after the premiere in 2022) the Valve Stars Awards will be presented in the four categories Valves, Sealing Technology, Actuators and Automation as part of the trade fair.
