Why participate DACH + HOLZ INTERNATIONAL?
DACH+HOLZ International is a European trade fair for the roofing and timber construction industry and takes place every two years, alternately in Cologne and Stuttgart.
The event was created from the merger of two historic trade fairs – Dach+Wand and Holzbau+Ausbau – and grew into the platform for innovation, knowledge sharing and networking within the construction industry.
The fair covers the entire value chain: from roofing and façade technology to timber construction, insulation, energy efficiency and digital building solutions. Visitors can expect an extensive programme with live demos, workshops, expert lectures and thematic areas such as sustainability, safety and digitalisation. The focus is on current trends such as green roofs, circular materials and BIM technology.
With more than 600 exhibitors and around 50,000 visitors from dozens of countries, DACH+HOLZ International is an indispensable meeting place for professionals who want to innovate and strengthen their network. The event not only offers product presentations, but also a strong substantive component with seminars and practice-oriented sessions. Thanks to the central location and excellent accessibility of Koelnmesse, the fair is easily accessible for both national and international visitors.
DACH+HOLZ International is a pure B2B trade fair and positions itself as a knowledge and inspiration platform for the future of roof and timber construction.
