UNITI expo Stuttgart – Europe's leading trade fair for tomorrow's energy market

Gas stations, car washes, shops, and convenience stores undergoing transformation

UNITI expo is Europe's largest trade fair for the gas station and car wash industry. It takes place every two years at the Messe Stuttgart exhibition center and attracts trade visitors from over 100 countries. As a comprehensive business and networking platform, UNITI expo brings together technology, trade, energy, and mobility—reflecting the major changes taking place in the world of gas stations, car washes, and convenience stores. From traditional oil companies to e-mobility start-ups, from car wash operators to shop concept developers: the trade fair brings together the players who are rethinking and reshaping the energy market as we know it.

Four themed worlds for a networked industry

UNITI expo is clearly divided into four specialist areas covering the entire spectrum of the industry:

• Technology, Payment & Logistics Solutions for gas station technology, payment processing, fleet management, storage, and logistics.
• Carwash & Carcare Modern washing technology, care products, accessories, system solutions – from gantry car washes to self-service stations.
• Oil Companies & Fuel Retailing Providers of fuels, alternative energies, lubricants, and concepts for gas stations of the future.
• Shop & Convenience Franchise solutions, shop design, refrigeration technology, catering, POS systems, product range, and new business models.

Whether it's digitalization, sustainability, or customer loyalty: UNITI expo shows how the classic gas station is evolving into a multifunctional mobility and service hub. Anyone interested in other trade fairs in the region can find a comprehensive overview of the regional event portfolio at Stuttgart Trade Fair.
