Zuliefermesse Z Leipzig

The Zuliefermesse Z, or simply Z, is an international trade fair for industrial supplies and technologies, held every two years at the Leipzig Exhibition Center. Organized by Leipziger Messe GmbH, it serves as a key platform for small and medium-sized suppliers as well as industrial service providers to showcase their latest products, components, and manufacturing technologies. As a historic trade fair location, Leipzig reinforces its role as an innovation hub for the industry with Z.

The trade fair focuses on new materials and manufacturing technologies that enable more sustainable and efficient production. It also presents industry-specific solutions for key sectors such as mechanical and plant engineering, the automotive and vehicle industry, and toolmaking. Visitors gain in-depth insights into the latest developments in components, adhesives, joining and assembly techniques, processing technologies, industrial services, electrical engineering, and electronics.

A major highlight of the event is its parallel exhibition with Intec, an international trade fair for machine tools, manufacturing, and automation technology. Together, these two fairs cover the entire industrial value chain—from raw materials and components to machinery and digital manufacturing technologies. The event is further complemented by GrindTec, a specialized trade fair for tool processing and grinding, which takes place simultaneously in Leipzig.

With the hy.tec technology forum, Zuliefermesse Z expands its profile to include a future-oriented segment: the economic production of hydrogen systems. Experts present innovative manufacturing processes for electrolyzers and fuel cells while exploring new business opportunities in the field of sustainable energy technologies.

Another key highlight of the trade fair is the guided thematic tours, organized in cooperation with the VDI (Association of German Engineers). These tours provide visitors with targeted insights into selected trade fair topics and facilitate direct exchanges with companies. Additionally, the CONTACT Business Meetings offer an exclusive networking platform that connects suppliers with potential business partners.

Exhibitors at Zuliefermesse Z represent a wide range of industries, including the automotive, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and metal processing sectors. With their highly specialized products and services, the fair serves as an essential platform for decision-makers and professionals seeking innovative solutions. The primary visitors include industry experts such as procurement managers, development engineers, and production managers actively searching for new technologies and business partnerships.

The Leipzig Exhibition Center offers a modern infrastructure with excellent accessibility via public transport, highways, and Leipzig/Halle Airport. This combination of a central location, broad industry coverage, and forward-looking topics makes Zuliefermesse Z an essential meeting point for the international supply industry.
