Formnext appoints Christoph Stüker and Sascha Wenzler to lead the Additive Manufacturing trade fair
November 11, 2024
Mesago Messe Frankfurt GmbH, organiser of the Formnext exhibition, has announced that Christoph Stüker has joined Sascha Wenzler to lead the trade fair. Both have been key members of the event team since the inaugural Formnext in 2015 and have now joined forces to continue driving the brand forward.
“I have been involved in Formnext since its inception and have helped to shape the event,” stated Christoph Stüker. “In my new function, I look forward to continuing this work with Sascha Wenzler and the amazing team to keep delivering an exceptional platform for our customers and community members into the future.”
In the ten years since its premiere, Formnext has continued to grow, expanding its content with appealing supporting events, showcases plus a new conference programme and awards format. Formnext has become a hub for Additive Manufacturing, and the organisers work on a large number of projects throughout the year that go far beyond traditional exhibition activities. The changes in the AM industry require continuous adaptation and fine-tuning of the trade fair concept as well as a year-round offer to customers.
“Having both of us in charge will make it easier to address all the associated challenges, and I am delighted to have Christoph Stüker as the perfect partner at my side,” said Sascha Wenzler. “Christoph has been with Formnext since the very beginning and is the ideal person to provide the support required to take Formnext into the future. Together with our strong team, we will be able to respond even more comprehensively to this exciting growth sector.”
Petra Haarburger, President Mesago Messe Frankfurt, added, “I am delighted that by establishing this dual leadership with Sascha Wenzler and Christoph Stüker, we are taking account of the growing relevance of our Formnext for the AM community. In this way, we will be able to drive forward the further development and expansion of relevant formats in the technology hub.”
Formnext will be held from 19–22 November 2024 in Frankfurt, Germany.
