metall-messe.net Niedernhausen

metall-messe.net—formerly known as the “Metallsoftware SÜD” trade fair—is a specialised industry event for the metal construction sector. It is aimed squarely at trade professionals and positions itself as a hands-on platform for innovation, digitalisation and business development.

The event is organised by PSE Redaktionsservice GmbH, an owner-managed publishing house with around 30 years of experience in B2B and B2C specialist media. Its interdisciplinary team—spanning editorial, design, photography and digital expertise—contributes not only high-quality content but also in-depth industry knowledge, a key factor in the event’s strong practical relevance.

metall-messe.net is held annually at rotating locations across Germany. This decentralised approach brings regional industry hubs into focus and makes the event more accessible to businesses from different parts of the country.

In terms of content, the exhibition is closely aligned with current challenges and developments in metal construction. A core focus is on software and digital solutions—from CAD and ERP systems to costing, time tracking, production control and data management. This is complemented by a growing range of machinery, tools and workshop equipment for metalworking, including solutions for sheet metal processing, welding technology and automated manufacturing processes. In addition, the event showcases products for metal, steel, window and façade construction that can be readily integrated into day-to-day operations. Themes such as efficiency gains, process optimisation and the organisation of modern business structures run throughout the exhibition.

Knowledge transfer is another key element alongside products and services. Expert talks, practice-oriented presentations and direct dialogue with manufacturers and industry peers make the event a genuine working platform for business owners and decision-makers. Future-oriented topics—such as skills shortages, training and structural challenges—are also addressed, providing strategic insight beyond pure product displays.

Exhibitors represent a broad cross-section of the metal construction industry, including software providers, machinery manufacturers, toolmakers and service providers specialising in organisation, consultancy and digitalisation. Visitors are predominantly industry professionals—metal fabricators, fabrication workshops, steel construction companies, planners, designers and business owners—seeking practical solutions for their day-to-day operations.

The rotating venues—typically well-connected exhibition centres or event spaces in economically strong regions—are easy to reach by both car and public transport. This ensures that metall-messe.net remains not only thematically flexible but also geographically close to its target audience—an important advantage for an event designed as a practical platform for SMEs.

The metall-messe.net will take place on Thursday, 21. May 2026 in Niedernhausen.
