APEX and IRE Exhibitions almost Fully Booked – APEX Show 2026

• More than 150 exhibitors now booked for the two shows.
• APEX indoor and outdoor areas are close to full.
• Online visitor registration open and free for both exhibitions.

APEX and the International Rental Exhibition (IRE) already have more than 150 exhibitors booked, six months ahead of the shows taking place in Maastricht, The Netherlands, on 2-4 June.

APEX and the co-located IRE provide a one-stop-shop for equipment rental companies, showcasing everything from aerial platforms and compact construction equipment to power generation, lighting towers and rental software/AI.

Exhibitors at APEX include Dingli, Genie, Haulotte, JLG, Manitou, Niftylift, Palfinger, Skyjack and XCMG.

Among the companies attending IRE are Himoinsa, JCB, Kaeser, Pramac, Sany, Trackunit and Wacker Neuson.

IPAF, the official partner for APEX, will have an indoor stand and a live demonstration site in the outside area of APEX.

The partner for IRE is the European Rental Association (ERA), which will also co-locate its 20^th annual convention at the MECC venue, on 3 and 4 June.

The European Rental Awards dinner will be held on 3 June.

For the first time there will be a conference theatre in the indoor area offering visitors free presentations on new products and technology being launched at the shows.

Tony Kenter, managing director of Industrial Promotions International (I.P.I.), the organiser of the two shows alongside KHL Group, said; “We are delighted by the early take-up of exhibition space at both shows. It highlights how important the rental industry is to suppliers.

“It also means rental company visitors will have a remarkable selection of companies to visit, everything from machines and platforms to the latest advice on AI tools for rental, and all at one place. And Maastricht in June is a wonderful place to relax and entertain.”
