A+A 2027 Draws 5,877 Exhibitors to Düsseldorf Safety Show

A+A 2027 will host 5,877 exhibitors at Düsseldorf Exhibition Centre from October 19-22, 2027, marking the 38th edition of the world's largest occupational safety and workplace health trade fair.

The biennial exhibition spans security risk management and health professional sectors, drawing international suppliers of personal protective equipment, workplace safety systems, and occupational health solutions. The four-day event positions itself as the primary sourcing platform for safety managers, occupational physicians, and workplace compliance specialists across Europe and beyond.

German Suppliers Lead Exhibition Floor

German companies dominate the exhibitor roster, with major industrial players including Adolf Würth GmbH & Co. KG showcasing vehicle safety equipment and TÜV SÜD Product Service GmbH presenting testing and certification services. Technology-focused exhibitors include deister electronic GmbH with security storage solutions and J. Schmalz GmbH featuring automation and handling technology for industrial safety applications.

Research institutions also maintain significant presence, with Fraunhofer-Institut für Produktionstechnik und Automatisierung IPA demonstrating exoskeleton technology and human-centered workplace solutions. The institute's participation reflects growing industry focus on ergonomic intervention technologies.

Wellness Technology Expands Show Scope

Health and wellness suppliers add breadth beyond traditional safety equipment categories. brainLight GmbH will present stress management and relaxation technologies, while Invitalis GmbH showcases physiotherapeutic equipment for workplace injury prevention. This expansion reflects employer emphasis on proactive health management rather than reactive safety compliance alone.

Specialized safety equipment remains core focus, with Italian supplier Panaro Srl exhibiting ammunition storage and transport solutions, and German footwear manufacturer Haix-Schuhe presenting protective shoe technology. These traditional safety categories anchor the exhibition's industrial buyer demographic.

Technology Integration Drives Show Evolution

Digital safety solutions and connected workplace technologies represent fastest-growing exhibition categories. Automation suppliers increasingly integrate safety protocols into manufacturing systems, while wearable technology providers target real-time worker monitoring applications. This convergence positions A+A 2027 as key platform for workplace technology buyers seeking integrated safety and productivity solutions.

The Düsseldorf venue provides 158,000 square meters of exhibition space across 19 halls, accommodating the expanded exhibitor count while maintaining specialized product zones. International attendance typically reaches 67,000 trade visitors across the four-day program.
