03/26 - Ceramitec 2026

Global Stage for the Ceramics Industry: ceramitec 24-26 March 2026 in Munich. 

The next ceramitec will take place from March 24 to 26, 2026 at the Messe München exhibition center. Don’t miss 33,000 m² of exhibition space only dedicated to ceramics, accompanied by a varied, informative, and practical event program with excellent networking opportunities.

Ceramitec is the leading international trade fair for the high-performance material ceramics. As a central platform, it combines traditional ceramics with technical ceramics, covers the entire value chain from raw material suppliers to plant and contract manufacturers, and inspires the user industries.

Under the motto “A high-performance material like no other. Discover ceramics.” ceramitec makes the social and industrial relevance of ceramics visible and tangible. The focus is on innovations that shape the future – efficiently, sustainably and across all sectors.

The German Ceramic Society (DKG)  and the team of the ceramitec (Messe München) are using the upcoming event to further intensify their collaboration.

With the new DKG-Agora, the joint stand of the German Ceramic society, the DKG offers a dedicated platform where startups, small and medium-sized enterprises, and research institutions can present their innovations cost-effectively and with high visibility. Furthermore, interactive sessions on “Ceramics for Eco-Applications” and “Ceramics for Extreme Conditions”, will take place there, highlighting application-oriented insights and young researchers’ contributions.

Another highlight is the Career Day, jointly organized by DKG, ECTS, and Messe München, offering students and trainees insights into career opportunities and free access to company networking and guided tours. Following this, the ceramitec Women’s Forum will take place – a joint initiative of Womeninceramics (DKG-women network), Women@Refractories, and Messe München, focusing on diversity, innovation, and equal opportunities in the ceramics industry.
