PU Expo Istanbul 2026 Opens Its Doors
As one of the most comprehensive trade platforms for the polyurethane industry across regional and international markets, PU Expo Istanbul 2026 will take place from November 11–13, 2026, at the Istanbul Expo Center. Organized in cooperation with the Polyurethane Industrialists and Importers Association (POLYDER), the event runs concurrently with Foam Eurasia, which represents the technical foam sector, and AYSAF, the flagship exhibition for footwear components. This co-location creates a robust cross-sector synergy.
Organized by CNG Expo, this synchronized trio brings together raw polyurethane materials, technical foam applications, and footwear sub-industry components under a single roof. Exhibiting companies can leverage targeted cross-marketing opportunities to access new export markets, while visitors gain direct insight into the latest manufacturing solutions and technological breakthroughs spanning all three complementary sectors.
Targeting Over 150 Exhibitors and 7,000+ Professional Visitors
PU Expo Istanbul 2026 aims to broaden its international footprint through the collective momentum of the three concurrent exhibitions. Key targets for the 2026 edition include:
Over 150 domestic and international exhibitors showcasing their portfolios,
More than 7,000 professional buyers and trade delegates from over 30 countries,
Dedicated international purchasing delegations arriving from Europe, the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), the Turkic Republics, and Asia.
The simultaneous staging of these exhibitions enables supply chain stakeholders to hold direct B2B meetings with buyers from adjacent markets, boosting inter-industry trade volumes.
