SHK+E ESSEN is preparing for the next edition with a strong final result from this year's edition. From March 17 to 20, 2026, the trade fair will kick off the trade fair year for professionals from the trades, installation, planning and consulting sectors. Most recently, SHK+E ESSEN recorded an increase in visitors of around 20 percent. The most important change compared to the previous edition is that the sanitation industry will be presented in Halls 6, 7 and 8, giving it two additional halls for sanitation objects. In line with this decision, there are currently signs of a slight recovery in the sanitation industry according to the SHK economic barometer from VdZ and VDS. The supporting program is also well taken care of: at the Drinking Water Meeting Point, visitors can experience high-quality products and practical presentations on the supply of drinking water.
