Ahead of 2026, the next edition of UNITI expo is gaining momentum with the Car wash & car care themed area primed to be more successful than ever. The area is attracting strong international interest, especially from Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the United States.
To meet the high demand for exhibition space, tracked through the booking process, the Car wash & car care area has significantly expanded to a record 16.500 m² in 2026. The celebrated 2024 edition brought together 126 car wash exhibitors from 25 countries in Stuttgart (Germany), making UNITI expo the largest car wash trade fair in Europe.
All major exhibitors have confirmed their return for 2026 and more than 90% of the exhibition space has already been allocated, a clear demonstration of the event’s leading role in the car wash industry.
«Last year’s record-breaking edition of UNITI expo was a clear testament to the event’s everlasting impact on the international car wash community. As cooperation partner and long-standing exhibitor, we see the trade fair as an essential platform for driving innovation, fostering connections, and shaping the future of our industry.,» said Alexander Christ, board member at Christ Wash Systems.
UNITI expo is also increasing its international visibility through numerous association and media partnerships, as well as appearances at other trade fairs such as Autopromotec in Bologna.
One of the highlights of the themed area is the Carwash Forum. It offers exciting presentations, discussions, and insights into market trends, technologies, and entrepreneurial challenges. In 2026, all presentations in German and English will again be simultaneously translated.
«Nowhere else is the diversity of the car wash world so concentrated as at UNITI expo. Whether it’s rollover car washes, wash tunnels, self-service equipment, wash chemicals, or car care products – the car wash world comes together here to experience innovations, make valuable connections, and shape the future of vehicle washing,» explains Ben Boroewitsch, CEO of com-a-tec GmbH and co-organizer of UNITI expo.
