The office equipment and services industry in Cologne is well-represented by several influential trade fairs, chief among which is Asia-Pacific Sourcing (APS). The fair has been instrumental for the strong, long-term partnerships between foreign manufacturers and German buyers. Over the years, Asia-Pacific Sourcing has become Europe’s premier sourcing platform that centres on global trade and innovation. Participation remains consistently high as the 2025 edition prepares to host over 750 exhibitors showcasing cutting-edge products. APS 2025 serves as the largest sourcing platform outside Asia, providing European and North American buyers unparalleled access to the Asiatic market and each edition infuses new energy in Cologne’s office equipment and services industry. The 2025 event promises to be particularly impactful, as it focuses on bringing together manufacturers and sales companies from Asia with buyers seeking high-quality, cost-effective office equipment solutions. From connection and fastening technologies to tools and accessories, the range of products is vast and caters buyers of varying budgets from large-scale enterprises all the way down to small businesses. The “Best of China” special zone is going to be a key highlight, where the spotlight will fall on 54 Chinese exhibitors. This marks the fourth edition of this exclusive platform within APS, further cementing its importance as a bridge between Asian manufacturers and global markets. A natural extension of APS success is the deep networking made possible between German and European buyers and various Asian markets. As the office equipment industry evolves, sustainability and intelligent design have become central themes. APS 2025 will spotlight these trends, particularly on the Central Boulevard, where standout products will be showcased for their innovation and eco-friendliness. From ergonomic office tools to energy-efficient equipment, the event charts the different aspects of the growing demand for solutions that enhance productivity and minimize environmental impact in the same breath.
