CMS Berlin 2025 on course for growth

“The current booking status for the exhibition space is above the comparable figures from 2019 and 2023,” says Ruth Senitz, CMS Berlin director. “International participation will be even higher than in 2023, especially with new exhibitors from Austria, Switzerland, Belgium, France, Poland and the Czech Republic.”

The exhibitors will be presenting their latest products such as intelligent cleaning systems, autonomous cleaning robots and innovative hygiene concepts that make everyday work easier and ensure greater sustainability.
The focus will be on automation and digitalisation in particular - developments that offer enormous opportunities for specialist companies.
