Welcome to EUROPUMP & PNEUROP 2026

The VDMA Pumps + Systems Association as well as the Compressors, Compressed Air and Vacuum Technology Association are honored to host the EUROPUMP Annual Meeting together with the PNEUROP Plenary Meeting from May 27 to 29, 2026. We invite you to Frankfurt, the financial and economic center of Germany. Both meetings will be held in parallel and with a joint keynote program.

Venue & Discussions
The event takes place at the renowned Steigenberger Icon Hotel Frankfurter Hof in the heart of Frankfurt, offering an excellent setting for meeting business partners, networking and discussing the key issues for the future of our industry. 

We will present product-specific topics in the EUROPUMP Standards, Technical, and Marketing Committees. Also we are offering parallell workshops for the EUROPUMP Community on the first day. Once again we are offering product-focused working sessions for our established PNEUROP committees. 

Furthermore, we will have keynote speakers exploring the following geopolitical management challenges: 

• How do we deal with US tariffs on European mechanical engineering products and what does this mean for European pump and compressor manufacturers?
• How do we ensure fair competition, at least in the European market, when dealing with Chinese market competitors?
• What is the general state of competitiveness of European manufacturers in the global market?

The Social Program
An attractive social program awaits you. Our welcome evening will take place in the Ehrenhof Terrace of the Steigenberger Hotel, with a fascinating view of the skyline of Frankfurt's banking district.
Accompanying persons will have the chance to explore new and old Frankfurt with a professional guide. The traditional gala dinner will take place at a magical location in the Senckenberg Museum.

Let yourself be surprised!

We look forward to welcoming you to Frankfurt and experiencing inspiring days together.
