Foam Expo Europe 2026

Foam Expo Europe describes itself as Europe's largest free trade fair and conference for technical foam products and manufacturing. Held in the L-Bank Forum (Hall 1) at Messe Stuttgart, it gathers suppliers and buyers from across the foam supply chain, from raw materials and chemistry to converting, machinery and finished technical foams, and runs alongside Adhesives & Bonding Expo Europe and Thermal Management Expo Europe in the same hall.

Industries served

Although it sits in the heart of Germany's automotive region, the show serves many end-user markets where foams, adhesives and thermal materials solve engineering problems.

• Automotive, transport and aerospace (NVH, lightweighting, insulation)
• Construction (thermal efficiency, soundproofing)
• Packaging (protection and insulation)
• Medical (wound care, cushioning)
• Sports and footwear
• Furniture and bedding

Conference
