steinexpo 2026

A driving force for innovation

“Since official registration opened for steinexpo 2026, around 130 exhibitors have already signed up, securing a total net exhibition area of approximately 40 000 m²,” reports Dominik Rese, Managing Director of the organizing company GEOPLAN GmbH, offering a positive interim summary on the road to the 12th edition of this unique demonstration fair in a quarry setting. The event will once again take place from 2nd to 5th September 2026 in Europe’s largest basalt quarry in Homberg/Nieder-Ofleiden, Northern Hesse. Long-standing and new exhibitors alike value the proven “@-Work” concept as much as the fair’s ongoing innovative development.

When the international raw and building materials industry reconvenes for this popular live event in September 2026, the tried-and-tested will meet the new: following the successful debut of the “Quarry Vision” innovation area in 2023, the organisers are now taking the concept to the next level. The designated focus topic this time is “Quarry Vision 2.6” – a reference to the year of the event, 2026. Under the motto “Quarry Next Gen – we’re in”, participating exhibitors will showcase their innovative, forward-looking technologies, products and services directly at their own stands. This eliminates the need for a separate, staff- and resource-intensive satellite stand while enabling expert advice to be provided on-site. The enhanced concept ensures increased visibility of “Quarry Vision” across the entire trade fair. Special “Quarry Vision 2.6” logo elements will guide visitors to participating exhibitors.

 

Sought, found, and won

An overview board at the entrance to the exhibition grounds will list all participating Quarry Vision exhibitors along with brief descriptions of their innovations. Vision boards bearing the logo, placed throughout the venue, will mark each of the participating Quarry Vision stands. Naturally, all this information is also available in digital form – conveniently accessible via the steinexpoAPP.

All visitors with an interest in innovation are also invited to take part in the appealing prize draw “Collect Points, Win Visions”. Taking part is simple: each Quarry Vision stand features a unique QR code. Those who scan and collect these codes have the chance to win a visionary prize each day of the fair. The person who collects the most codes on any given day will be that day’s winner. The official prize draw will take place after the event.

So it’s doubly worthwhile to keep an eye out for concepts, prototypes, ideas or already proven innovations. Everyone who embraces the motto “Quarry Next Gen – we’re in” can play their part in making the 12th steinexpo an unforgettable experience for all.
