The leading Swiss trade fair for (intra)logistics, materials handling, and warehouse automation, held in conjunction with Empack for the packaging industry, was a resounding success in Zurich in 2025 – and now many are eagerly looking forward to Bern again. For 2026, 90 exhibitors and renowned partners such as Astag, GS1 Switzerland, Swiss Logistics by ASFL SVBL, ILS, and Swiss SupplyChainTech have already been announced. Under the motto "Discover, Learn, Connect," the industry platform promises to be another highlight.
The focus of the trade fair in Hall 3.0 at Bernexpo is "The Future of Logistics in Businesses." This year's premium partners Galliker Transport, ID-Systems, Linde Material Handling Switzerland, and SSI Schäfer will showcase their latest developments. Galliker will present digital solutions for transport and supply chains. ID-Systems will present an intelligent technology that automatically identifies goods.
