About ceramitec
ceramitec, the international trade fair for technical ceramics, high performance ceramics and industrial ceramic applications, returns to Messe München from Tuesday 25 to Thursday 27 April 2028.
It covers the whole field, from traditional heavy clay ceramics to high tech components, and connects ceramic makers and suppliers with user industries such as medical technology, energy, automotive, aerospace and mechanical engineering. The March 2026 edition brought together 485 exhibitors from 38 countries and around 12,000 visitors from 74 countries on 33,000 square metres, according to the organiser.
For 2028 the organiser plans a dedicated area in Hall A6 for strategic markets such as semiconductors, aerospace, medical technology, batteries and hydrogen. analytica, the laboratory technology fair, runs at the same time in the neighbouring halls.
For ceramitec hotels in Munich, the fairground in Messestadt Riem is about 20 minutes from Munich Central Station on the U2, so the centre and Haidhausen work as well as hotels near the Messe. This page shows live rates for your dates; fair tickets are bought separately from the organiser.
Who attends
Ceramics manufacturers and suppliers, buyers from user industries such as medical technology, energy, automotive, aerospace and mechanical engineering, and researchers. A trade fair, not a consumer show.

How do you get to ceramitec?
From Munich Airport (MUC)
- Messe München is 42 kilometres from Munich Airport, according to the organiser
- The fixed taxi fare from the airport to the exhibition centre is EUR 90, and the trip takes around 35 minutes
- By rail, take the S1 or S8 from below the airport's central area into the city, then the U2 to Messestadt West or Messestadt Ost; the organiser puts the S-Bahn ride at 45 to 60 minutes depending on route
- During some fairs Messe München runs its own nonstop airport shuttle bus of about 45 minutes; check the shuttle timetable for ceramitec nearer the date
By rail and road
- From Munich Central Station the U2 towards Messestadt Ost reaches the exhibition centre in about 20 minutes without changing
- The S2 to Riem and then bus 190 is another route, getting off at Am Messesee for Entrance West or Messestadt Ost for Entrance East
- The fairgrounds sit directly next to the A94 motorway, and a dynamic traffic control system directs drivers to free spaces
- Parking for trade fair visitors costs EUR 15 a day, and by car or taxi from the Central Station the organiser suggests allowing at least 25 minutes more than by U-Bahn
How do you get around during ceramitec?
Getting to the halls each day
- The halls are open to visitors from 09:00 to 17:00 on all three days; exhibitors can enter from 07:30
- The U2 stops Messestadt West and Messestadt Ost connect directly to the exhibition centre; buy MVV tickets for tariff zone M
- The organiser says the Print@home ticket does not include free use of public transport, so buy a separate MVG, MVV or DB ticket
- Free visitor WiFi is available across the trade fair centre, including the halls, for a day after entering an access code
Messestadt Riem, the centre or Haidhausen?
- Hotels in Messestadt Riem and nearby keep the halls a short walk or one stop away, which suits exhibitors with early starts
- The Altstadt and the Hauptbahnhof area have the widest choice of hotels and restaurants, about 20 minutes away on the U2
- Haidhausen around the Ostbahnhof is a quieter base east of the centre
- The organiser lists TRADEFAIRS (DERTOUR), CHECK-IN! for private rooms and München Tourismus for accommodation, and warns visitors to check unfamiliar room providers carefully
