Summary of the 16th edition of the SYMAS® MAINTENANCE Fair
"What was this year's edition like for us? Intense and specific (as every year). We were visited by people with real challenges: transport of bulk materials and recycling, modernization of technological lines, warehouse expansion, safety, and service. Once again, we returned with a notebook full of technical issues to analyze and a clear picture of where our solutions bring the most value. After these discussions, we believe even more strongly that the best systems are created when engineers and users meet at the same table" - as Project Steel summed up the event in a post on LinkedIn.
On October 15-16, 2025, the 16th International Trade Fair for Processing, Storage, and Transport of Bulk and Powder Materials SYMAS® and the 16th International Trade Fair for Maintenance, Planning, and Production Optimization MAINTENANCE, the only trade fair in Central and Eastern Europe combining maintenance technologies and the processing of bulk and powder materials.

Closer to customer needs
The SYMAS® and MAINTENANCE trade fairs have once again proven that face-to-face meetings are crucial for the development of industry.
