Industry. As the leading international trade fair, it covers the entire spectrum of industrial ceramics and powder metallurgy – from machines and systems to materials and processes to application technologies in industry, research, and high-performance applications. Every three years, international experts gather here – ceramists, materials scientists, plant manufacturers, end users, engineers, and decision-makers from a wide range of industries. ceramitec is a platform for innovation and technology transfer, for interdisciplinary exchange and strategic partnerships.
The thematic scope of ceramitec is unique: solutions for classic ceramics (e.g., building and sanitary ceramics), technical ceramics, refractory materials, powder metallurgy, and additive manufacturing are on display. The focus is on all process steps – from raw material extraction, grinding, mixing, forming, drying, and firing to finishing and quality assurance. Machine and plant manufacturers showcase high-precision forming processes, automated furnace technologies, energy efficiency solutions, and the latest developments in process technology. The range of products on offer is complemented by materials, semi-finished products, measurement technology, and software solutions.
A particular focus is on technical ceramics, which play a decisive role in numerous high-tech applications: in electronics, medical technology, mechanical engineering, the automotive industry, and energy technology. Materials such as aluminum oxide, silicon nitride, and zirconium oxide are used where temperature resistance, hardness, corrosion resistance, or electrical insulation are important. Innovative applications such as ceramic heat exchangers, implants, filters, sensor housings, and wear protection components demonstrate the enormous potential of the industry. If you are interested in other trade fairs in the region, you will find a comprehensive overview of all trade fairs in Munich at Munich Trade Fair.
Additive manufacturing (3D printing) of ceramic components is a rapidly growing topic. More and more exhibitors are presenting machines and materials that can be used to manufacture highly complex geometries—efficiently, resource-conserving, and individually. Digital process chains, software solutions for simulation and quality control, and IoT applications for plant networking round out the offering. ceramitec shows that even a traditional industry such as ceramics is undergoing digital transformation and is actively shaping Industry 4.0.
ceramitec is thoroughly international: over 60% of exhibitors and more than half of visitors come from abroad. This global orientation makes the trade fair an ideal venue for export business, partnerships, and market analysis. Delegations, chambers of commerce, and international trade associations also use the trade fair as a platform for exchange.
Parallel to the exhibition, there will be a challenging conference program that addresses the latest developments in research and industry. Topics such as energy-efficient firing, new material combinations, recycling solutions, regulatory requirements, and standardization in high-performance ceramics will be discussed in an interdisciplinary manner. The combination of exhibition and conference creates real added value for trade visitors—here, science and practice flow directly into one another.
Another advantage of ceramitec is its focus on science and education. Universities, research institutes, and training facilities present their programs, projects, and laboratories. For students, young engineers, and aspiring technicians, the trade fair offers direct contact with potential employers and up-to-date insights into a highly innovative professional field.
Whether in electromobility, the hydrogen economy, medical technology, or renewable energies, ceramic materials play a central role in solving global challenges. ceramitec impressively demonstrates how materials expertise, mechanical engineering, and system integration can be combined to create sustainable solutions for the future.
ceramitec in Munich is more than just a trade fair: it is a network, a market mirror, an innovation barometer, and a think tank for an industry with enormous technological depth. Anyone who wants to know what modern ceramics can do will find everything here: from research to series production, from start-ups to global market leaders.
