Best of EISENWARENMESSE 2026

EISENWARENMESSE 2026 has come to an end — and it was four days full of innovation, exchange and inspiration.

With around 2,500 companies from 53 countries, the global hardware industry came together in Cologne to discover new products, discuss trends and strengthen partnerships.

We celebrated the winners of the EISENaward 2026 powered by ZHH, explored industry trends at the EISENforum and gained valuable insights into topics such as Artificial Intelligence, e-commerce and the future of retail.

A special highlight was the premiere of the EISENworkshop, where creators demonstrated tools from our exhibitors, techniques and live projects, sharing their expertise directly with visitors.

At the DIY Boulevard, exhibitors showcased product innovations exactly as they will appear in tomorrow’s retail environments.

Most importantly, the fair once again showed the strength of this community — bringing together exhibitors, partners and visitors from around the world.

Thank you for making EISENWARENMESSE 2026 such a great experience.

The EISENworkshop continued to deliver hands-on craftsmanship on Day 2 and 3 of EISENWARENMESSE.

After the first day already featured creators such as Mara Pischl, Laurin Bock, Empoeirados and Jasmine Gurney, the workshop area remained full of activity. Jasmine returned together with Dirk Hobein, Ben Berger, Sophia Kuhlmann, Mike Unger and René Lang, who demonstrated their projects live and shared practical insights with visitors.

Together they turned the workshop area into a space for inspiration, exchange and real tools in action.

Take a look behind the scenes and hear what the creators had to say about it.
