About COMPAMED
International trade fair for medical manufacturing and supplier solutions, focusing on cutting-edge components, materials, and technologies for medical devices.
COMPAMED 2026
COMPAMED 2026 runs 16–19 November 2026 at Messe Düsseldorf.
The supplier side of medical technology
COMPAMED is the components, materials and services show for medical device manufacturing. Where MEDICA addresses the finished device and the clinical buyer, COMPAMED addresses everything upstream of that: microtechnology, components, materials, contract manufacturing, packaging and the production services that medical device makers buy.
It runs alongside MEDICA
The two shows are held at Messe Düsseldorf on the same dates and are explicitly complementary. Many attendees work both, and a badge strategy is worth settling before travelling rather than on arrival.
Who exhibits
The exhibitor base skews toward specialist suppliers rather than household names — precision components, tubing and catheter technology, sensors, microfluidics, polymers and medical-grade materials, coatings, sterile packaging and contract manufacturing.
