Roofing and timber trades require live testing grounds for materials and workflows. Roof+timber International 2028 lands in Stuttgart with a format that combines product demos, themed workspaces and targeted areas for innovation and trade skills.
Practical information for attendees
Dates and venue. Roof+timber International 2028 runs from 7 to 10 March 2028 at the New Stuttgart Trade Fair Centre. Opening hours published in the programme are Tuesday to Thursday 9:00 to 18:00 and Friday 9:00 to 17:00. The event site contains visitor and exhibitor guidance including access and services.
Programme highlights and exhibition zones
The fair includes themed zones that appear in the preliminary agenda. Expect a retention roof and sustainable roof systems area, a Workspace Future that covers sustainability and digitalisation, a Start-up & Innovations Area with live demonstrations, and a special plumbing exhibition related to roofs and façades.
Sectors and exhibitor profiles
Exhibitors focus on roofing systems, timber construction and building envelopes. The show brings producers of waterproofing systems, manufacturers of roof components, machinery suppliers for woodworking, and providers of monitoring systems for moisture and ingress control.
Key figures
The figures published by the organisers list 56 000 visitors and 564 exhibitors for the edition. Those numbers indicate the scale of the fair and the breadth of potential commercial contacts and technical demonstrations.
B2B prospecting and on-site tactics
Arrange meetings in advance by reviewing the exhibitor directory and selecting companies with relevant product demos. Reserve short technical slots for start-up booths where new solutions are typically validated live.
Bring concise technical briefs that spell out site constraints and measurement data so conversations lead to clear next steps. If you seek distribution partners focus on manufacturers whose components match your sales channels and prepare questions on logistics and service commitments.
Closing note and link to the organiser
For teams focused on product validation or channel development, prioritise the Workspace Future and Start-up areas to shortlist technologies to trial on site. Check exhibitor lists and schedule meetings on the official event site at http://www.dach-holz.com/en to maximise time on the ground.
