Blechexpo 2025: 20% more contacts than in 2023
Blechexpo was held at Stuttgart from 21 to 24 October 2025. It is Europe's benchmark trade fair for sheet metal working and takes place every two years, in odd years.
For us the figure of this edition is one: 20% more contacts than in 2023. On the stand was the PLUS Bevel with the new Evo 4 cutting head, bevel cutting up to ±50° and 60 kW of laser power. And, together for the first time, our six subsidiaries from Europe and Brazil.
The figure of this edition: 20% more contacts
The comparison is with Blechexpo 2023, the same fair in the same hall: contacts collected grew by 20%. On a biennial fair that is the most useful figure there is, because it compares two like-for-like editions rather than two different events. It should be read for what it is: an indicator of interest, not of orders.
“Twenty per cent more contacts than in 2023, at the same fair and in the same hall.”
What was on the stand
The centre of the stand was the PLUS Bevel, our machine for bevel cutting. Three numbers, the ones written on the totem at the entrance:
- Bevel cutting up to ±50°
- The new Evo 4 cutting head
- 60 kW of laser power
The configuration most people saw was the PLUS Bevel 4525: a working area of 4500 × 2500 mm, of which 4000 × 2000 mm can be worked in bevel. The other configurations and the full data are on the PLUS Bevel page. Bevel cutting is the reason a machine like this is worth seeing in person rather than in a catalogue: you understand a chamfer when you watch it come off the table ready for welding.
Six subsidiaries on the same stand
Blechexpo was also the chance to bring together the representatives of all our subsidiaries:
- Cutlite Deutschland GmbH
- Cutlite Penta Polska
- Cutlite Penta Ibérica
- Cutlite Penta Benelux
- Cutlite do Brasil
- Cutlite Penta France
For a German, Spanish or Polish visitor that means something concrete: the person who will answer after the fair was on the stand, speaks their language and is based in their country. Addresses and contact details for every location are on the contacts page.
Blechexpo in short
Blechexpo is held at Messe Stuttgart every two years, in odd years, alongside Schweisstec for welding. For anyone working sheet metal in central Europe it is the moment when the machines you otherwise only read about in catalogues can be seen running. The next edition is in 2027.
