Deutsche Yachten members showcase expertise at SMM 2026

With 15 exhibiting companies, the German yachting industry demonstrates the breadth and strength of its expertise at the world’s leading maritime trade fair in Hamburg.

As the international maritime industry comes together at SMM in Hamburg from 1 to 4 September 2026, the German yachting industry will be strongly represented. A total of 15 members of the Deutsche Yachten working group will showcase their products and expertise at their own stands at the world’s leading maritime trade fair.

At the Hamburg exhibition grounds, Anschütz, Fuchs Fördertechnik, Furuno, Gleistein, Knaack & Jahn, micfil, Piening Propeller, Prebit, Profiseal, SGS, Sika, SKF, Yachtglass, Yachtlite and Zeppelin Power Systems will be exhibiting, demonstrating the impressive breadth and depth of “Made in Germany” expertise.

SMM is far more than a traditional shipbuilding trade fair. With more than 2,200 exhibitors and around 50,000 international visitors from 120 countries, it is the key meeting place for the global maritime industry. Shipyards, suppliers, naval architects, technology companies, shipowners, designers and maritime service providers come together to showcase innovations, establish new business relationships and shape the future of the industry.

SMM is also of particular importance to the international superyacht industry. Modern superyacht construction combines traditional shipbuilding expertise with highly sophisticated technology — from propulsion systems and energy efficiency to automation and navigation, as well as innovative materials and advanced interior and exterior solutions.

“The strong presence of our members at SMM demonstrates just how broad and capable the German yachting industry is,” says Claudia Zamboni, Project Manager of Deutsche Yachten. “German companies are highly sought after worldwide in the superyacht sector for their quality, engineering expertise, precision and innovative solutions. SMM brings together the international decision-makers with whom we want to further strengthen and expand this position.”
