The entire industrial valve value chain in one place
The industrial valves sector is a complex interplay of materials, precision components, engineering, manufacturing, automation and service. Added value is created at every point in the value chain: through expertise, vertical integration, quality and innovation. It is precisely this interplay that will be on display at VALVE WORLD EXPO 2026, when the international community of manufacturers, suppliers, plant engineers and operator teams comes together.
Discover the complete value chain of industrial valves
The VALVE WORLD EXPO offers you a comprehensive overview of modern valve technology, valve technologies, components, digital solutions and services – and the people who drive this industry forward every day.
Materials & Component Manufacturing
Materials and precision components are at the beginning of the value chain. Materials, seals, springs, housings and small parts have a decisive influence on the performance and service life of a valve. In Düsseldorf, you will find companies from all areas of valve manufacturing that demonstrate how precision is achieved in even the smallest details and how new material solutions meet the requirements of modern applications.
Valve Engineering & Design
Construction, calculation and design form the technical foundation of every valve. Manufacturer specialists provide insights into development processes, testing procedures and quality concepts. You will learn how innovative designs and simulations increase operational safety, reduce emissions and reliably meet complex requirements.
Manufacturing & Valve Technology
Manufacturing is at the heart of the value chain. Modern valve technology combines precision machining, manufacturing quality and automated processes. At the trade fair, you will see production approaches, measurement technology and test benches that form the basis for safe, durable industrial valves. Visitors can directly compare which technologies and manufacturing strategies are suitable for their projects.
Automation & digital technologies
Digital systems are becoming increasingly important along the entire value chain. Sensors, smart valves, digital twins and data-based services support planning, commissioning and operation. Manufacturers demonstrate how integrated digital solutions contribute to greater transparency, better controllability and more efficient plant management, and how modern valve technology is becoming an integral part of networked industrial environments.
Operation, service & lifecycle management
No system is complete without reliable service. Maintenance, inspection, repair and documented testing are crucial for safety and cost-effectiveness. At VALVE WORLD EXPO, you will find valve service offerings, retrofit solutions and support strategies that extend plant life and increase operational safety.
