The Pumps & Valves Trade Fair 2025, held on November 26–27, proved to be a major opportunity for discussion within the industrial pumps and valves sector, bringing together operators, companies, and professionals in Zurich who are committed to finding reliable solutions for increasingly complex process plants. This year’s edition confirmed the event’s value as a technical and commercial meeting point, capable of connecting manufacturers, distributors, and end users.
CDR Pompe, attending the event for the third time, took part as a supplier through its Swiss distributor, Vogel, reaffirming its role as a reliable technical partner for those seeking tailored solutions in the field of centrifugal pu,.mps.
First and foremost, we would like to thank all visitors and customers who stopped by the CDR stand at the Pumps & Valves Trade Fair, taking the time for discussion, questions, and the exchange of experiences. It is precisely this direct dialogue—based on real needs and concrete application cases—that makes the trade fair a key event for professionals working daily in the process industry.
The Pumps & Valves Trade Fair: A Focus on Technology and Innovation
The Pumps & Valves Trade Fair, held on a biennial basis, is both a major exhibition event and an observatory of developments in the process industry—a sector increasingly oriented toward more stringent operational requirements such as service continuity, energy cost control, plant safety, and ease of operation.
Unlike general-purpose trade fairs, Pumps & Valves is aimed at a highly specialized audience, including technicians, buyers, and plant managers looking for practical, ready-to-use solutions. In this environment of research and innovation, discussions often originate from attempts to address real-world challenges: component wear, demanding operating conditions, complex fluids, and the need for planned maintenance.
Figures from the 2025 Edition
The 2025 edition of the Pumps & Valves Trade Fair recorded figures that confirm the solidity and organizational strength of the event. More than 4,100 professional visitors attended the exhibition, representing growth of over 15% compared to 2023. This result reflects not only interest in the trade fair, but above all the high quality of the audience.
The presence of specialized exhibitors was particularly significant: over 60 companies animated the Pumps & Valves exhibition area, showcasing solutions for pumping, flow control, and plant management. The profile of visitors—including industrial companies, utilities, engineering firms, and commercial operators—confirmed the trade fair’s role as a key meeting point for the entire process industry.
Key Trends Emerging at Pumps & Valves
The 2025 event highlighted a sector in evolution, where companies are increasingly seeking solutions that are reliable, efficient, and, above all, manageable over time. The technologies presented showed how innovation today is driven by intelligent design choices and greater integration between components and systems.
Among the main trends observed over the two-day event:
- Energy efficiency in pumping systems: pumps are designed to reduce energy consumption and maintain consistent performance even under variable load conditions, addressing sustainability goals and cost control.
- Reliability and operational continuity: materials, geometries, and design solutions aim to reduce wear and ensure longer plant service life.
- More conscious maintenance: growing attention is being paid to solutions that facilitate planned maintenance and reduce the risk of unplanned downtime.
- Integration with control systems: pumps are increasingly part of a broader system in which performance monitoring plays a key role in plant management.
CDR Pompe at the Trade Fair with Vogel
CDR Pompe’s participation in the Pumps & Valves Trade Fair, together with Vogel as distributor for the Swiss market, provided a valuable opportunity for direct dialogue with customers and industry professionals. The fair allowed engagement with specialists facing very different needs, yet all sharing the search for reliable and long-lasting solutions.
Discussions at the stand focused on real applications, specific operating conditions, and informed technical choices. This open and practical exchange reflects CDR Pompe’s approach: listening, analyzing, and proposing solutions aligned with both the system and the customer’s objectives. Collaboration with Vogel also ensures a structured local presence, which is essential for effective support before and after supply.
CDR Pompe Centrifugal Pumps Presented at the Trade Fair
During the two days of the exhibition, several CDR Pompe solutions related to centrifugal pumps were presented and displayed. In particular, attention was focused on centrifugal pumps designed for industrial processes, engineered to handle complex fluids and demanding operating conditions.
Among the products showcased were the XTN pump, a magnetic drive solution designed for the safe transfer of chemical fluids, even in the presence of liquids containing solids, and the UTN-L 50-32-160 bare-shaft version, featuring a casing lined with high-resistance plastic materials.
In addition, CDR presented the UTS-B, an in-line magnetic drive centrifugal pump.
CDR Pompe solutions stand out for robust construction, designs focused on long-term durability, and simplified maintenance management. These features directly address the needs that emerged during Pumps & Valves 2025, where plant management was a central theme.
Pumps & Valves Trade Fair: An Ongoing Exchange
The Pumps & Valves Trade Fair 2025 confirmed the value of direct interaction between companies, technicians, and commercial operators. It is an opportunity to share experiences, evaluate solutions, and understand how the sector is evolving toward models increasingly focused on efficiency and reliability.
CDR Pompe’s presence at the Pumps & Valves Trade Fair, through its distributor Vogel, is part of a broader commitment to delivering quality solutions and continuous support to industrial companies. This commitment extends through consultation, supply, and maintenance of centrifugal pumps throughout their entire lifecycle.
