Interlift 2025

Interlift is the brainchild of AFAG Messen und Ausstellungen GmbH, which organises the show alongside the German Association for Lift Technology – VFA INTERLIFT. The event runs over the course of four days that usually are scheduled for October and editions are held on a biennial basis, falling on odd years.

The host city for Interlift is Augsburg, Germany, and Messe Augsburg opens its doors to professionals on all four days from 09:00 am until 18:00 pm. Your commute to the location is incredibly simple since there is the convenience of bus 41 and tram line 3 to get you to Messe Augsburg. The exhibition centre also provides a regular shuttle bus service to Augsburg Railway Station, Munich Bus Station and Munich Airport.

Everything so far has been great, but you want to make a cost analysis. You want to know how big your success at Interlift is going to be, and we will give you the numbers. The last edition saw close to 580 exhibitors, of which 71% were of foreign origin. The audience rose to more than 21,000 trade visitors, which was a marked improvement from the edition before. The division between national and foreign visitors stands at 60% foreign – 40% local. So far, the data communicates that you will have a wide enough of a pool of buyers, who are not necessarily German. We also wish to put an emphasis on the positions trade visitors hold in their companies. 85% of all visitors are high enough on the corporate ladder to make decisions about purchase and investment.
