The event
DIY Boulevard 2026 in Hall 11.1
Since its premiere in 2016, DIY Boulevard has been a central attraction at the INTERNATIONAL HARDWARE SHOW. Here, member companies of the German Home & Garden Manufacturers Association (HHG) and companies from the HIMA network present their new products as they will actually appear in stores: on classic sales shelves. This gives you an authentic impression of how the products are presented at the point of sale.
Whether you come from a hardware store, garden center, discount store, online retailer, specialist wholesaler, or purchasing group, you will find the right products and trends for your business on DIY Boulevard.
Get a quick overview of the market and trends at DIY Boulevard and find inspiration for your own product range and merchandise presentation. Each shelf has an integrated discussion area, and the central HHG stand also offers the ideal conditions for exchange, networking, and new business relationships. In 2026, the focus will once again be on the ten most innovative products in the industry.
