History

It all began a rainy day in November 1975. The very first edition of the subcontractor exhibition at Elmia had just opened its doors. On site were a few exhibitors. Who could have known then that this was the start of what would become the leading subcontractor exhibition in Northern Europe?

As the years passed the small exhibition grew and more and more people travelled to Jönköping to do business. With the aim set for the future Elmia has continually developed the exhibition to keep pace with the manufacturing industry. Today Elmia Subcontractor is a yearly exhibition with about 1200 exhibitors from 30 countries, a dynamic marketplace that creates valueable business contacts for both exhibitors and visitors. It is the largest industry event in Sweden and offers an extensive programme of inspiration and trends making it an efficient way to future-proof your business.
