Valve World 2026
December 1-3, 2026
Since 2010, the Biennial Valve World Conference & Exhibition has been held at the Düsseldorf Exhibition Centre. As the world’s largest trade fair for industrial valves, the event traditionally hosts 700 exhibitors from 40 countries showing their latest products and innovations, including a number of U.S. exhibitors looking to meet new customers. Feel free to visit them at their booth at Valve World Expo 2026.
Valve World Expo in 2018 attracted 11,800 professionals from 86 countries, of whom over 70% were executives and decision-makers. Around 75% of all visitors came from outside Germany, demonstrating once again the high internationalism of the event. In 2024, 572 exhibitors from 35 countries presented concentrated technological power over three days at Valve World Expo 2024.
The Valve World attracts exhibitors from the oil, gas, petrochemical, and chemical industries; marine and offshore industries, water and waste-water technology, automotive and mechanical industries, and more. Also, this year, valves for medical technology should be displayed and requested (FFP masks, piezo valves for respirators, vaccines, or stationary oxygen tanks for hospitals). In addition, 100% free of oils, greases, and contaminates are shown, and many other application processes.
A valve conference will take place at the same time. The conference is organized by KCI Publishing B.V.
