An ACHEMA stand is built around the equipment you bring
ACHEMA Frankfurt fills the halls with chemists, process engineers and plant managers who come to inspect pumps, valves, reactors and lab systems in person. A stand at ACHEMA is judged on how well it lets them do that.
The stands that work here combine real machines on a floor that can carry them, cutaways or demos that explain what happens inside, and a closed room where a technical conversation can go into detail.
Who will be inspecting your equipment at ACHEMA
Chemists, engineers, process technicians, biotechnologists and energy specialists from across the process industries.
- 106,001participants from 141 countries in 2024
- 2,842exhibitors from 56 nations, 63% of them from outside Germany
- 110,000m² of exhibition space across 11 exhibition groups
What your ACHEMA stand needs
Three requirements that a standard stand package rarely covers once your equipment reaches Frankfurt.
- Floor load and services for real machinesWeight, power and other connections agreed before the build.
- Demo or cutaway zonesWhere engineers can see how the equipment works inside.
- A closed meeting roomFor technical talks with plant and procurement teams.
Each of those elements is engineered in our workshop and assembled once before it leaves for Frankfurt.
ACHEMA stand builder, from structural planning to dismantling
As your ACHEMA stand builder we run the full project: stand design with 3D renders, structural planning for heavy exhibits, manufacture, transport, build and dismantling at Messe Frankfurt.
One project manager handles the technical approvals with the organiser, from floor loading to electrical connections, and stays on site for the five days of the show.
Design
Collaborative briefing, a strategy built around your visitor and a photorealistic 3D render of your space.
Manufacturing
In-house joinery and manufacturing with premium, high-quality and sustainable materials at our own workshop.
Build & install
Transport and coordination to Messe Frankfurt, on-site build and dismantling by our own crew, and dedicated support throughout the show.
Stands we have built for process, pharma and lab exhibitors
We already know Messe Frankfurt: at CPHI Frankfurt in 2025 we built stands for VEFA İlaç, PGP Glass, EVA Pharma and K-Pharm. Our portfolio also includes vacuum technology, automation and analytical testing exhibitors. Browse our industrial trade fair and pharmaceutical trade fair projects.
How we approach each type of ACHEMA exhibitor
ACHEMA organises the process industries into eleven exhibition groups, and what the stand has to solve depends on which one you belong to.
Pumps, valves and process equipment
Heavy exhibits need structure first. We plan reinforced plinths, lifting access and dedicated power so working equipment can be shown safely, with clear sightlines from the aisle.
Laboratory and analytical techniques
Precision instruments need controlled light and stable surfaces. We build lab-style counters with integrated screens and clean cable routing, so a demonstration looks as accurate as the instrument itself.
Pharma, packaging and digital solutions
Production lines and software are hard to show on a stand. We design demo stations, line mock-ups and AV walls that explain the process at a glance and lead naturally into a technical meeting.
A stand that comes back for the next ACHEMA
ACHEMA comes round every three years, and many exhibitors show at CPHI or national process fairs in between. A modular structure is stored, serviced and reconfigured with new graphics, so the investment covers more than one show.
ACHEMA stand FAQs
What process, pharma and laboratory companies ask us before booking their space at ACHEMA.
When and where is ACHEMA 2027?
ACHEMA 2027 runs from 14 to 18 June 2027 at Messe Frankfurt, Frankfurt am Main. The show is held every three years; the previous edition took place from 10 to 14 June 2024.
Should we book the organiser’s stand package or a custom stand?
The organiser’s All-in-One packages cover plots from 12 to 25 m² with a standard wall system, basic furniture and lighting, which suits a first appearance. If you need to show heavy equipment, add a meeting room or work with a larger plot, a custom stand gives you the structure and space a package cannot.
Who visits ACHEMA?
Chemists, engineers, process technicians, biotechnologists and energy and IT specialists from the process industries. The 2024 edition welcomed 106,001 participants from 141 countries.
Can the stand carry heavy machinery?
Yes. We size the structure and flooring for the equipment you bring, plan power and other services for each exhibit, and agree the technical requirements with the organiser before the build begins.
Do you handle the whole build at Messe Frankfurt?
Yes. We manufacture the stand in our own workshop and our crew handles transport, installation, on-site support during the five days and dismantling afterwards.
How much does a stand at ACHEMA cost?
It depends on the plot size, the weight and number of exhibits and the finishes. Send us your plot dimensions and what you plan to show, and we will prepare a fixed quote before design work starts.
ACHEMA 2027 takes place at Messe Frankfurt
Organised by DECHEMA Ausstellungs-GmbH, ACHEMA returns to Messe Frankfurt from 14 to 18 June 2027 with more than 110,000 m² of exhibition space. We build your stand in our workshop and install it in Frankfurt with our own team.
Exhibition stand design and build in Frankfurt
Messe Frankfurt hosts some of the largest trade fairs in Europe, from textiles and lighting to automotive and pharma, each with strict hall logistics. Having already built at CPHI Frankfurt, our team knows the venue’s access routes and build rules.
