MAINTENANCE 2027 takes place on 17–18 March 2027 at Antwerp Expo and positions itself as the leading trade event for industrial maintenance. The fair brings together the industrial maintenance community on a single, unique platform where maintenance and process technology converge. Visitors include CEOs, buyers, technical managers, engineers and other decision makers from sectors such as petrochemical, metalworking and general maintenance, all looking to explore the latest trends and solutions that drive efficiency, reliability and sustainability.

The programme is structured around a 2‑in‑1 format that combines two complementary trade fairs into one powerful experience. The first part focuses on maintenance practices, technologies and innovations, while the second part delves into process technology, with particular emphasis on pumps and valves. This dual‑track approach allows attendees to gain a holistic view of how maintenance activities integrate with broader process operations.

Key speakers and industry leaders are highlighted throughout the event. Terminal Manager Sven Van Assche of Noord Natie Odfjell Antwerp Terminal shares insights on terminal maintenance and operational excellence. Hans Musters, Head of Business Development at ACTA, discusses market trends and strategic development in maintenance services. Wim Vancauwenberghe, a Master in industrial engineering and director of BEMAS since 2000, presents on best practices and the future of maintenance engineering. Their presentations provide actionable knowledge for participants seeking to enhance their maintenance strategies.

MAINTENANCE 2027 also offers a range of media and experiential content. A dedicated video showcases the event’s value proposition, illustrating how maintenance, innovation and expertise contribute to more efficient processes, greater reliability and sustainable solutions. An aftermovie from the previous edition (MAINTENANCE 2025) allows newcomers to relive the highlights and understand the event’s impact. Testimonials from exhibitors and visitors further demonstrate the tangible benefits of participation, offering real‑world perspectives on networking, knowledge exchange and business development.

The event’s objectives are clear: to create a powerful platform where maintenance professionals can connect, learn and innovate; to showcase the latest products, services and technologies that drive operational excellence; and to foster collaboration between maintenance and proce
