More than 240 exhibitors, co-exhibitors and represented companies, technologies from around the world, product launches, conferences and expert meetings – the Industrial Autumn 2026 is now under way at Expo Kielce. From 22 to 24 September, the exhibition halls are filled with solutions for foundry, heat treatment, non-ferrous metals, metrology, non-destructive testing and industrial filtration and ventilation.

This year’s Industrial Autumn brings together five events: METAL, HEAT TREATMENT, NONFERRA, CONTROL-TECH and the inaugural FILVENT trade show.

METAL, HEAT TREATMENT and NONFERRA alone feature around 200 exhibitors, co-exhibitors and represented companies from 21 countries, including China, India, Japan, the United States, Germany, Italy, the United Kingdom, Türkiye and Ukraine.

Exhibitors are showcasing, among other things, advanced industrial furnaces, automation and robotics systems, technologies for aluminium and cast-iron foundries, refractory materials, measuring instruments and spectrometers, filtration systems, as well as solutions designed to improve energy efficiency and process safety.

Transformacja 360° Forum – Technology Meets Business

The first day also saw the launch of the Transformacja 360° Forum, dedicated to the digital transformation of businesses. The programme features discussions on the competitiveness of the Polish economy, business digitalisation, financing transformation and the practical use of artificial intelligence.

FILVENT Makes Its Debut – and Air Quality Takes Centre Stage

A new addition to this year’s Industrial Autumn is FILVENT – an event dedicated to industrial filtration and ventilation, dust extraction, industrial air conditioning and air quality. Its programme includes the “Industrial Filtration and Ventilation” seminar, where experts will address issues including air quality in educational establishments.

The Industrial Autumn also features events held as part of CONTROL-TECH, including meetings with experts from the Central Office of Measures (GUM) and the Office of Technical Inspection (UDT), focusing on metrology, measurement and digital services for businesses.
