transport logistic 2027

Munich has hosted transport logistic since it was first held in 1978, and the fair has grown into the reference event for freight, logistics, mobility, IT and supply chain management. Messe München organises it every two years at its exhibition grounds, which gives each edition a strong sense of occasion for the industry.

The exhibitor base covers every link in the chain. Road, rail, sea and air freight operators share the halls with ports and terminals, warehousing and intralogistics firms, telematics and software providers, and logistics service companies. Air cargo Europe, the organiser's dedicated air freight event, runs at the same time and on the same site, adding airlines, handlers and forwarders to the mix.

Visitors are trade professionals. Logistics service providers make up the largest share, followed by buyers from industry and manufacturing, and more than half of the audience typically travels from outside Germany. Shippers, forwarders, carriers and supply chain managers use the four days to review partners and tender plans.

For exhibitors, the biennial rhythm concentrates two years of relationship building into a single week. Companies launch services, meet international partners they rarely see in person, and position themselves in front of a highly international audience. The fair also anchors a wider family of transport logistic events in other regions, so a presence in Munich carries weight across that network.
