Sheet metal is a mirror: presses, laser and punching lines, bending cells and bare sample parts reflect the entire hall. We shoot your machines running and your parts so that edge quality, cut and process are actually visible — clean shots before opening, motion during the demos. English-speaking crew, fixed price, delivered before you fly home.

EuroBLECH centres on two things: bare sheet metal parts and large machines. Both reflect — and in an exhibition hall what they reflect is the ceiling rig, the neighbouring stands, the barriers and the photographer. Add lasers, screens and safety lights that fool every exposure.
The difference between a usable and an unusable metal photograph comes almost entirely from where the camera stands and what is behind the photographer. So we work with polarising filters, controlled angles and large soft light sources that reflect evenly in the surface. Cut edges and bend radii need raking light — only then do you see quality instead of grey.
With presses, laser and punching lines, bending cells and automation the interesting detail is often inside or in the running process. We plan in advance which covers can be opened and when that is possible without disrupting the show — usually before the doors open.
For machine builders, moving image is usually worth more at EuroBLECH than photography. A line that cuts, bends or welds sheet is more convincing in fifteen seconds of video than in ten stills.
We film demonstrations at a high frame rate so individual steps can be shown in slow motion, and cut both a short social clip and longer sequences you can use in sales and on your website.
The key is coordinating the demonstration schedule: if your line only runs at set times, we build our window around that.
EuroBLECH only takes place every two years. That means the material produced here stays your most current trade fair content for two full years — this is not the show to book the smallest package. For exhibitors travelling from abroad: we work in English, travel is included, and delivery comes as a download link before you land back home.
In practice: plan at least one full day, ideally photo and video combined. The clean product and plant shots happen before opening; the demonstrations and buyer conversations follow.
EuroBLECH 2026 occupies halls 11 to 17 and 27 at the Hannover exhibition grounds. Halls are allocated by technology sector, which makes it easier to plan walking routes and filming times.
The show is open from 9:00 to 18:00 Tuesday to Thursday, but only until 17:00 on Friday. We therefore schedule demanding demo videos for the first three days and keep Friday for pick-up shots.
Hall allocation follows the technology sectors of the exhibition profile. If you plan shots with partners in other halls, such as automation or software suppliers, we check the routes on the hall plan and time the appointments accordingly.
Hall 27 hosts the NextGen Technology Stage with talks and panels on smart manufacturing, sustainable production and productivity. If one of your people is speaking, we film the session and cut short quotes for LinkedIn.
The EuroBLECH Awards cover six categories, and Award Trails guide visitors to the shortlisted exhibitors. If you are on the shortlist, that is a good moment for shots of visitors at your exhibit.
New this year are an Innovation Zone for emerging technologies and a Job Shop & Subcontractors Market for contract manufacturers. Exhibiting there puts you in a clearly themed setting that works well for overview shots.
Information from the organiser RX (euroblech.com), as of September 2026.
Cut, punched and bent parts with controlled angles, polarising filters and raking light — edges and surfaces stay readable.

Finished photos and video for LinkedIn, PR, your website and social media via a private download link, at the latest 24 hours after the event ends. Two revision rounds included.
From €990 excluding VAT for two hours of photo and video on site. For EuroBLECH we recommend the four-hour package from €1,490, or a full day from €1,990, because plant demonstrations work considerably better as moving image.
Yes. We work with polarising filters, controlled camera positions and large soft light sources that reflect evenly in the surface. Cut edges get raking light; lasers and screens are exposed separately so nothing burns out.
The clean shots before the doors open, when covers can be opened and we can move freely around the line. Demonstrations are filmed during show hours, following your demo schedule.
Yes. The material stays your most current trade fair content for two years. A full day of photo and video costs a fraction of the stand budget and supplies two years of marketing.
Yes — EuroBLECH has a strongly international audience; in 2024, 62 % of exhibitors came from outside Germany. Interviews and the entire engagement can run in English.
