October 2025
The conclusion of those responsible consisted of superlatives, palpable relief, and great gratitude: The number of exhibitors and visitors at interlift 2025 reached a new record, according to the closing press conference of the trade fair: "This interlift in Nuremberg may be the first in Nuremberg, but it is the largest interlift ever. We have the most exhibitors, the largest area, and the most visitors."
