Interlift 2025, the world’s leading trade fair for the lift industry, is back for another year and, for the first time, it’s taking place in Nürnberg, Germany.
Since its launch in 1991, Interlift has grown into the largest and most influential event of its kind, attracting nearly 19,000 visitors from more than 110 countries and around 500 exhibitors in 2023. Whether you’re looking for new products, partnerships, or inspiration, Interlift 2025 is the place to find it.
This year marks a new chapter with the exhibition moving to Messe Nürnberg. If you’re heading there, here’s what to expect and a few stands that are well worth a visit.

Before You Go: Preparing for Interlift 2025
- Plan your route – The new Nürnberg venue is large, so check the hall plan before you arrive and identify the key suppliers or technologies you want to see.
 - Allow time for networking – Some of the best conversations happen between meetings, in the café, or while walking between halls.
 - Book your meetings early – Interlift is busy and many exhibitors have full schedules by day two. If you’d like to meet with our team, contact us before you travel (details below).
 
Who to Visit at Interlift 2025
BKG – Hall 3C, Stand D402
BKG will showcase their service lifts, goods lifts, and more, with our own Alex Smith and Gary Neale on the stand throughout the show. Both will be supporting BKG and available to answer questions about applications, specifications, and supply in the UK.
Our Omar Marfoua will also be attending Interlift 2025, focusing on networking and exploring opportunities across the industry.
Langer & Laumann – Hall 3, Stand E211
Known for their reliable door drives and modernisation kits, Langer & Laumann are presenting new upgrade kits for folding doors.
The kits are hole-compatible with original mechanics, making upgrades simpler and faster with no major structural changes needed. The compact TSG 120 motor, designed to reduce installation height, opens up new possibilities where space is tight.
These innovations make life easier for installers and open new options for complex modernisations.

DMG will unveil its latest generation of products and digital tools for the vertical transportation industry. Highlights include:
- A new touch screen series that is fully customisable and IoEL-ready.
 - A unified plate design concept, featuring the Elise Plate and Skin Column for faster installation and maintenance.
 - The AMIGO III emergency telephone and intercom system, redesigned to meet the latest standards.
 - Three digital innovations:
- FUSION CLOUD for remote monitoring and device management
 - MAIA, an AI assistant for instant technical and commercial support
 - PROPHESIX, a predictive diagnostics system that detects faults before they happen
 
 
If you work with DMG controllers, displays, or communication equipment, this is a must-see stand at Interlift 2025.
