According to the IFO business climate index, the mood in companies improved somewhat in July. However, when it comes to expectations, there is still a great deal of uncertainty. This is reflected not only in very restrained investment activity, but also in trade fair participation. This situation has now also led the organizer of Parts Finishing to cancel the event planned for November 2025.
It is an innovative trade fair concept with which Parts Finishing 2025 was to be launched: presenting three themes over two days under one roof. “We actually met with a very positive response to this idea right from the start and had a promising level of registrations until the middle of the year,” reports Nicolas Herdin, Managing Director of the private trade fair organizer fairXperts GmbH & Co. “In the meantime, however, various companies have canceled their registrations.” The reasons vary. Saving constraints were cited, as were the uncertain economic situation or difficulties in assessing the company’s business development.
This situation has now prompted the trade fair organizer to change the 12. and November 13, 2025 at the Karlsruhe exhibition grounds with a heavy heart. “Despite financial losses, this is the better alternative for us than holding an event where both exhibitors and visitors are dissatisfied in the end,” adds Nicolas Herdin.
The company management will now discuss the further development of Parts Finishing together with the exhibitor advisory board and discuss a new date for holding the trade fair.
