Hannover Messe 2026
Interview with Jumo Managing Director Dimitrios Charisiadis
Ahead of Hannover Messe 2026, Dimitrios Charisiadis, Managing Director of Jumo, talks about the company's return after a seven-year break, the strategic importance of the trade fair and the technological focus of this year's appearance.
Mr. Charisiadis, Jumo is returning to HANNNOVER MESSE in 2026 after a seven-year break. Why is this step so important right now?
Hannover Messe has been an important partner for us for decades. After the pandemic-related break, it was important for us to choose the right time to return. We are impressed by the new concept of the Hannover Messe - especially the bringing together of all automation specialists in one hall. This creates a concentrated, high-quality environment in Hall 27 in which we can optimally present our innovations and our strengthened position as a system and solution provider.
What prompted Jumo to resume its trade fair involvement?
We sense that the automation industry is facing a new technological dawn - and Jumo wants to play an active role in shaping this. The Jumo management team agrees that the quality of trade fair contacts should increase significantly as a result of the new concept. That is why we are expecting high-quality leads and encounters in 2026 that will enable long-term customer relationships. Hannover Messe is a perfect fit for our international growth strategy with a view to India, China and the USA, as well as our focus on digitalization and sustainable industrial processes.
How would Jumo like to position itself at the trade fair this year?
At the joint stand (Hall 27, G19/5), we will clearly demonstrate that Jumo is now more than ever a system and solution provider. Customers expect integrated, scalable digital solutions - and that is exactly what we offer.
Which technologies and products are the focus of your trade fair presence?
We are bringing a wide range of modern technologies to Hanover. These include SPE and IO-Link, our variTRON system family, the tempTRANS 300 temperature transmitter and our safety solutions such as TAROS H48 Ex and safetyM TA. These products are examples of how we bring automation, safety and digitalization together.
What do you personally expect from participating in Hannover Messe 2026?
Our trade fair team is looking forward to a direct exchange with international partners, customers and industry experts. The trade fair offers us the perfect platform to showcase our innovative strength and gain new impetus for future projects. We are entering the trade fair year with great conviction and are counting on a strong, sustainable partnership with Hannover Messe - this year and in the future.
