IZB 2026

Inter­na­tionale Zulief­ererbörse 2026

Vis­it us at the IZB!

Only a few weeks remain until IZB 2026, Europe’s lead­ing trade fair for the auto­mo­tive sup­pli­er indus­try. Meet the sec­tor’s most influ­en­tial inno­va­tors and deci­sion-mak­ers, and dis­cov­er how the Sum­it­o­mo Elec­tric Group, with more than 290,000 employ­ees world­wide, is shap­ing the future of mobil­i­ty. Vis­it us from 27 to 29 Octo­ber 2026 at Aller­park in Wolfs­burg, Hall 3, Booth 3216, and expe­ri­ence our lat­est tech­nolo­gies and solu­tions first­hand. We look for­ward to wel­com­ing you dai­ly from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

Dri­ving the Future of Auto­mo­tive Con­nec­tiv­i­ty Through Inno­va­tion, Automa­tion and Group Strength

Expe­ri­ence how the Sum­it­o­mo Elec­tric Group is shap­ing next-gen­er­a­tion vehi­cle archi­tec­tures while advanc­ing smarter, more resilient man­u­fac­tur­ing.

At IZB 2026, the Sum­it­o­mo Elec­tric Group demon­strates how tech­nol­o­gy, engi­neer­ing excel­lence and glob­al col­lab­o­ra­tion help auto­mo­tive man­u­fac­tur­ers address today’s most press­ing chal­lenges: increas­ing sys­tem com­plex­i­ty, accel­er­at­ed devel­op­ment cycles, cost pres­sure, sus­tain­abil­i­ty require­ments and the need for greater oper­a­tional resilience.

Across a 180 m² exhi­bi­tion space, vis­i­tors can explore solu­tions that sup­port more effi­cient, reli­able and future-ready elec­tri­cal and elec­tron­ic archi­tec­tures. The show­case includes advanced wire har­ness tech­nolo­gies, con­nec­tor solu­tions, opti­cal trans­mis­sion sys­tems and dig­i­tal engi­neer­ing appli­ca­tions designed to enable the next gen­er­a­tion of mobil­i­ty.

A key high­light is the oppor­tu­ni­ty to explore SEB­N’s automa­tion exper­tise through immer­sive vir­tu­al and aug­ment­ed real­i­ty expe­ri­ences. Vis­i­tors can gain insights into high­ly auto­mat­ed HV pro­duc­tion process­es at SEB­N’s Cuen­ca plant in Spain. Beyond that, cur­rent low-volt­age and high-volt­age wire har­ness solu­tions can be dis­cov­ered in an inter­ac­tive way.

Through these dig­i­tal appli­ca­tions and expert keynote ses­sions, vis­i­tors can expe­ri­ence how advanced man­u­fac­tur­ing tech­nolo­gies help improve effi­cien­cy, qual­i­ty and flex­i­bil­i­ty while sup­port­ing the evolv­ing require­ments of the auto­mo­tive indus­try.

Togeth­er, the par­tic­i­pat­ing com­pa­nies of the Sum­it­o­mo Elec­tric Group demon­strate how com­ple­men­tary tech­nolo­gies, glob­al exper­tise and con­tin­u­ous inno­va­tion cre­ate val­ue for cus­tomers world­wide, rein­forc­ing con­fi­dence in long-term part­ner­ships and open­ing new oppor­tu­ni­ties for future col­lab­o­ra­tion.
