Europump highlights strong industry support ahead of 2026 Frankfurt annual meeting
According to Europump, the European Federation of Pump Associations, the engagement of leading technology suppliers underscores the importance of collaboration across the European pump sector and provides valuable support to Europump’s ongoing activities, including its flagship annual gathering.
The Europump Annual Meeting, taking place in Frankfurt, Germany, from 27–29 May 2026, will bring together pump manufacturers, suppliers, and industry experts from across Europe to discuss the technological, regulatory, and market developments shaping the sector. The event provides a key forum for knowledge exchange and collaboration across the pump industry value chain.
This year’s meeting is supported by a group of sponsors representing different parts of the pump industry ecosystem. Europump has expressed its appreciation to Gold Sponsor, Innomotics, Silver Sponsor, WEG and Bronze Sponsor, ifm, for their commitment and engagement.
The sponsor’s support reflects the growing importance of collaboration between pump manufacturers and technology providers in addressing key industry challenges, which include energy efficiency, digitalisation, and sustainability.

Europump offers us a unique platform to further intensify dialogue with manufacturers, users, and associations and to work together on more efficient and powerful pump solutions for the future. This proximity to the industry is essential for Innomotics to actively shape technological developments and strengthen the competitiveness of the industry in the long term.”
Martin Brand, WEG Engineering Director for Drives & Controls, commented: “By partnering with pump customers, WEG fulfils its vision of being a global reference in electrification and automation.”

Europump plays a vital role in uniting manufacturers, advancing technical standards, and shaping the future of the pump sector.”
Europump President Alexandre Lacour welcomed the continued engagement of industry partners: “We are excited to invite suppliers to contribute with knowledge and support to our association, both at our flagship event and throughout the year. We have built a sponsorship program to create a structured way to exchange with other supply chain members.
