From April 20 to 24, 2026, FOLON.A proudly participated in Hannover Messe 2026, the world’s leading industrial trade fair, held in Hannover, Germany. Located at Hall 17, Stand E58, we welcomed visitors from across the globe to explore our sealing solutions and discuss potential collaborations.
As one of the most influential platforms for industrial innovation, Hannover Messe provided FOLON.A with an excellent opportunity to strengthen brand visibility, connect with international customers, and better understand emerging market demands.
Hannover Messe continues to bring together leading companies from sectors such as automation, energy, robotics, and industrial components. In 2026, the exhibition saw particularly strong traffic in AI, robotics, and energy-related sectors.
While traditional industries experienced relatively lower foot traffic, companies like FOLON.A, with products applicable across a wide range of industries, were still able to attract a steady and diverse stream of visitors.
Our booth benefited from a strategic location and a dynamic surrounding environment. Directly across from us was a high-profile event sponsored by Festo, the Brazil–Germany Mechatronics Challenge, part of the WorldSkills Competition, which significantly increased nearby visitor traffic.
Despite a compact booth size, we ensured strong visual impact and clarity:
Visitors could immediately understand our expertise in sealing solutions at first glance.
At Hannover Messe 2026, FOLON.A focused on promoting a comprehensive range of sealing solutions, including:

Several recurring topics emerged during conversations with visitors:
As a manufacturer with our own production facility in Dongtai, Jiangsu, China, FOLON.A was able to provide clear and confident answers, which helped build trust with potential partners.
The exhibition also provided valuable insights into current market trends:
1. Robotics as a key growth sector
Demand for customized sealing and cushioning components for robotics is increasing rapidly.
2. Shift toward cost-effective global sourcing
While European companies traditionally rely on local suppliers, there is growing openness to sourcing from China, provided that quality and certifications meet industry standards.
3. Indirect procurement structure
In many cases, sealing components are not purchased directly by end users but are integrated into assemblies by component suppliers.
This highlights the importance of targeting:
During the exhibition, quotations were already provided to several potential customers. Following the event, our team has begun systematic follow-up via email, including:
We expect further cooperation opportunities to develop in the coming weeks.
Hannover Messe 2026 proved to be a valuable platform for FOLON.A to strengthen its global presence and engage with partners across multiple industries.
