SOLIDS Dortmund 2026, the trade fair for granulate, powder and bulk material technologies, will celebrate its 20th anniversary on 18 and 19 March 2026. The 9th edition of RECYCLING-TECHNIK Dortmund, the trade fair for recycling technologies, will take place at the same time. Over 300 exhibitors have already confirmed their participation. These include long-standing partners such as GKM Siebtechnik GmbH, EMDE Automation GmbH and B\u00fcckmann GmbH, as well as new companies from Germany and abroad, such as Fraunhofer IZFP, Grenzebach Maschinenbau GmbH, NT Service GmbH, SEW-EURODRIVE GmbH & Co KG, SMF GmbH and STRABAG AG. <\/p>\n

\u201cFor two decades, SOLIDS Dortmund has been an integral part of our trade fair calendar \u2013 and it is now almost impossible to imagine our annual schedule without it. The personal atmosphere and the valuable contacts make it unique,\u201d emphasises Kevin Schneider, Sales\/Marketing at GKM Siebtechnik GmbH.<\/p>\n

As well as featuring numerous renowned companies, this anniversary edition is all about knowledge transfer, innovation and new exhibition formats.<\/p>\n

New \u2018Process Automation\u2019 Special Area and the Polish Pavilion<\/p>\n

A major new feature in 2026 is the introduction of the \u2018Process Automation\u2019 special area in Hall 4. Here, leading companies specialising in human-machine interfaces (HMI), manufacturing execution systems (MES), sensor technology and control systems will showcase how they can make processes more efficient, sustainable and safer.<\/p>\n

Also in Hall 4: the Polish Pavilion, which offers Polish companies a collective platform to raise their profile and further strengthens the trade fair\u2019s international networking opportunities.<\/p>\n

Start-Up-Award and Start-Up-Area<\/strong><\/p>\n

To mark the anniversary, a Start-up Award will be presented for the first time. From 1 September 2025, young companies will be able to enter their innovations into the competition and stand a chance of winning a free exhibition stand in the Start-up Area, as well as additional benefits. <\/p>\n

The trade fair therefore offers start-ups in the bulk materials and recycling industries not only exhibition space, but also greater visibility and access to decision-makers, industry partners and investors. In addition, start-ups can showcase their products and solutions on the InnovationCentre stage in Hall 4. <\/strong><\/p>\n

New industry channel: BULK-TALK \u2013 the podcast for an innovative bulk materials and recycling industry<\/p>\n

The BULK-TALK podcast marks the launch of a new industry channel dedicated to knowledge-sharing and dialogue. Expert interviews, background stories and trends ensure that topics remain in the spotlight all year round: from predictive maintenance and the recycling of plastics and building materials to AI in production processes. The podcast also explores broader issues such as the skills shortage, diversity and networking. <\/p>\n

The podcast will be available on all major streaming platforms from the end of August 2025.<\/p>\n

Secure your stand at the special price by 17 September 2025<\/p>\n

Technology providers can secure a stand at a special rate until 17 September 2025. Registration can be completed via the exhibition\u2019s website or directly through the organising team. <\/p>\n
