From April 20 to 24, 2026, the Hannover Messe will take place with a new concept. There will be a stronger focus on solutions and their practical implementation. Applications will take center stage, and professional exchanges will be more direct and practical.

This reorientation also means a change of location for AS-Interface: This year, you will find us in Hall 27, Booth D18.

The new hall focuses on industrial communication—exactly the environment where AS-Interface is at home. Because the more complex systems become, the more important it is to have a simple, secure, and efficient connection of components.

The AS-Interface test laboratory in Leipzig was audited on January 27–28, 2026, as part of the regular review process. The audit ensures the continued high quality and reliability of AS-Interface product certifications.

During the audit, laboratory processes and test conditions were thoroughly evaluated. Once again, the test laboratory team demonstrated its expertise and experience.

The responsible laboratory engineers Tobias Rudloff and Jens Voigt, under the direction of Prof. Dr. Tilo Heimbold, successfully supported the assessment. The audit was conducted on site by Tilman Schinke from AS-Interface and concluded with a positive result.

Following the audit, the AS-Interface Test Laboratory in Leipzig remains fully compliant with all requirements, and its accreditation has been extended by the AS-International Association.
