LOUNGES Rheinstetten

LOUNGES in Karlsruhe/Rheinstetten is a highly specialised trade fair and a leading industry meeting point for cleanroom and process technology. It is consistently aligned with the practical requirements of contamination-sensitive industries. The event takes place annually at Messe Karlsruhe in Rheinstetten, where it has firmly established itself as a key date in the cleanroom sector’s calendar. It is organised by Inspire GmbH, an experienced trade fair and event organiser with a strong focus on technology-driven specialist formats. The aim of LOUNGES is not merely to showcase products, but to bring practical, real-world solutions for regulated and controlled production environments to life.

The exhibition covers the full spectrum of modern cleanroom and process technology. Core topics include technologies for the design, construction, fit-out and operation of cleanrooms, alongside process solutions for automation, efficiency optimisation and quality assurance. This is complemented by a comprehensive range of offerings in contamination control, filtration, HVAC systems, measurement and control technology, and monitoring systems for critical parameters such as particle concentration, pressure, temperature and humidity. Both hardware solutions — from cleanroom systems and sensor technology to production equipment — and services such as consulting, qualification, maintenance and validation are presented.

A defining characteristic of the event is its strong emphasis on knowledge transfer and professional development. With several hundred technical presentations, best-practice case studies and discussion formats, LOUNGES offers an exceptionally dense and high-quality programme addressing current standards, regulatory requirements and technological developments. The close integration of exhibition and conference makes the event a key information and decision-making platform for many visitors.

Exhibitors represent sectors including pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, medical technology, microelectronics, semiconductor manufacturing, chemicals, food processing, and mechanical and plant engineering. Accordingly, the event is aimed at technical specialists and decision-makers from production, engineering, quality assurance, procurement and management who are responsible for clean and regulated processes. In this way, LOUNGES is closely linked to Germany’s position as an innovation hub and highlights the country’s international standing in high-technology manufacturing and industrial quality.

The venue itself offers a modern infrastructure, short distances and excellent accessibility. Messe Karlsruhe is conveniently located near the A5 motorway, well connected to public transport, and close to both the city of Karlsruhe and Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden International Airport — ideal conditions for an efficient and focused trade fair visit.

The LOUNGES will take place on 3 days from Tuesday, 24. March to Thursday, 26. March 2026 in Rheinstetten.
