Europe’s leading trade fair for the service station and car wash industries proudly announces a total of 92 cooperation, media, association, and event partners from around the world, enhancing the event’s global profile and driving dynamic industry networking.
[18 December 2025] – With record-breaking momentum already underway, UNITI expo returns to Stuttgart on 19 – 21 May 2026. For its sixth edition, Europe’s leading trade fair for the service station and car wash industries is building on the largest partner network in its history: 17 cooperation partners, 23 association partners, 36 media partners, and 16 event partners, with around 20 additional partnerships from Germany and abroad, marking a significant increase over the record-setting 2024 edition. These amplify global reach and visibility while consolidating industry expertise. By combining long-standing relationships with fresh collaborations, UNITI expo drives professional exchange on an international level.
Unmatched Innovation Power
“The global partner network we have been steadily expanding since 2014 is a key success factor for UNITI expo,” says Elmar Kühn, Managing Director of UNITI Services GmbH and organiser of the trade fair. “Our partners combine their collective know-how to create an unmatched innovation power across Europe and beyond.”
UNITI expo drives connectivity through its strong presence at leading industry events. Active participation in major trade fairs and future-focused conferences opens the door to meaningful dialogue with key players across the service station and car wash sectors. “Strong partnerships within the industry create a foundation for innovations and practical solutions to take effect faster and on an international scale. Open exchange strengthens the resilience of the entire industry more than ever,” adds Stefan Kunter, Vice President of the European manufacturers’ association CECOD (Committee of European Manufacturers of Petroleum Measuring and Distributing Equipment) and CEO of ELAFLEX Group.
Modern Conference Rooms for Valuable Exchange
Beyond pre-show networking, partnerships come to life throughout the three-day event. Dedicated lounge areas for media and association partners within the exhibition halls provide hubs for networking and sharing insights. Modern conference rooms across the fairgrounds provide the perfect setting for productive discussions and all types of meetings. Associations and exhibitors leverage these facilities for member gatherings and internal meetings during UNITI expo. International industry representatives also have access to dedicated spaces for their own programme highlights, allowing them to shape UNITI expo into a truly personalized event. This strategy helps organisers attract entire delegations, a key driver that broadens the participant base and makes the trade fair even more appealing for networking and business opportunities.
With over 45,000 m² of exhibition space, more than 500 exhibitors, and 18,000 expected trade visitors from over 110 countries, UNITI expo once again promises to be an international industry highlight and a key industry hub for the entire service station and car wash world.
