DIY Boulevard 2026

Hall 11.1

The DIY Boulevard has been the central point of contact of the EISENWARENMESSE - International Hardware Fair since its premiere in the year 2016. This is where the member companies of the manufacturing association Haus & Garten e.V. (HHG) and firms of the HIMA network present their new products to you, exactly as they actually appear in the retail trade: on classic store shelves. You thus gain an authentic impression of how the products are presented at the point of sale.

"The DIY Boulevard has been a real crowd-puller and a highlight of the EISENWARENMESSE - International Hardware Fair since its premiere in the year 2016. We once again look forward to a fully-booked Boulevard in 2026. That demonstrates how high the demand is for this concept. A compact, yet diversified showcase of our industry's products, ranging from innovative product ideas and practical shelf placements, through to sales-boosting presentation concepts, awaits the visitors. The diversity of the manufacturers and line-ups represented will also be especially exciting this time, which bundled on the Boulevard, will offer a unique overview of the capabilities of the DIY industry."
