Area 30, the international trade fair of kitchen sector, is preparing the next edition that will be held in Löhne from 19 to 24 September 2026. This B2B event recently attracted around 12,000 experts from kitchen showrooms, specialist retailers, trade associations, project planners, site managers, architects and the skilled trades.
It offers the highest concentration of exhibitors and a great density of new products in the kitchen hub of East Westphalia, with around 180 exhibitors and brands. Moreover, the trade fair organiser’s recently established long-term partnership with the associations of the wood and furniture industry in North Rhine-Westphalia (Herford) – including the Association of the German Kitchen Furniture Industry.
This year’s event focuses on sustainable initiatives that both strengthen the specialist retail sector and provide effective incentives for end consumers to make purchases. Not least, the topic of AI – which is currently receiving considerable media attention – is increasingly taking centre stage in the sales and marketing strategies of exhibitors and of area30 itself, as it offers countless new sales opportunities and possibilities for creating attractive shopping experiences centred around the kitchen.
Among the 2026 exhibitor line-up we can mention : AKP, Amica, Caesarstone, Grohe, Küchentreff, Hansgrohe, Häfele, Naber, Oranier, Plasmamade, Quooker, SHD, Strasser, Systemceram, Vogt, Atlas Plan, Bertrandt, De'Longhi, Der Kreis, Granberg, Manz, Mirage Granito, Rempp Küchen, Wertgarantie and Zegotech
