Frequently asked questions
Every two years. The 2028 edition runs in Cologne under the same biennial cadence the fair has followed for decades.
Hardware, tools, fasteners and DIY suppliers from Europe, Asia and North America. Expect a strong contingent of German manufacturers alongside major Chinese, Taiwanese and Italian brands.
Very much so. The Norwegian DIY and pro-tool market is largely served through Continental European distribution, and Eisenwarenmesse is where those supply chains meet.
Cologne Messe is organised into thematic halls — hand tools, power tools, fasteners, DIY and workshop equipment each have dedicated areas.
Trade-only entry is standard. Through our package you receive your fair admission as part of the booking — no separate registration needed.
