Among the exhibitors are the world’s largest names from the industry, coming from Japan, China, Taiwan, Korea, USA, Canada, Germany and other countries
Celje, 27 March 2025 – Between 8 and 11 April 2025, the Celje Fairgrounds will host the International Industry Fair (IIF) and the Public Utility Equipment, Waste Management and Water Technologies Fair (KOMOT), two of the most important professional fairs in SE Europe. The Celje Fairgrounds will be transformed into the largest technological center in Slovenia, where visitors will be able to witness the most modern and technically sophisticated machines, industrial robots, tools, applications and solutions for the future in person. More than 370 exhibitors will present themselves on more than 25,000 m² of exhibition space, presenting 1,000 brands from as many as 36 countries. For both fairs, we had to additionally set up 3 prefabricated halls, so now the exhibitors will present themselves in as many as 9 fair halls, and one prefabricated hall is intended for the welding competition. With this fair event, we at the company Celjski sejem are putting Slovenia on the global map of advanced industrial innovations.
International Industry Fair – the leading industrial event in SE Europe
The International Industry Fair (IIF) is the leading industrial event in SE Europe, presenting the most important companies and experts from the industrial sector. The fair is the central platform for presenting the latest technological developments, innovations and solutions that shape the future of the industry and covers key industrial segments, including: toolmaking and machine building, welding and cutting, industrial automation and robotics, electronics and industrial maintenance, and polymer and plastics industries.
This year, the fair records the largest number of new exhibitors who have not yet presented themselves in Celje or Slovenia. In addition to companies from Slovenia and Croatia, exhibitors from Serbia, Austria, Germany, Italy, China, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Poland and other countries are also present. In particular, the record participation of Croatian companies stands out, which confirms the growing importance of the fair in the Adria region.
