productronica 2027

About productronica

productronica is electronics development and production trade fair focused on electronics development and production technologies across PCB manufacture, assembly, inspection, automation, clean production and manufacturing test. The 2027 edition runs from 16-19 November 2027 at Trade Fair Center Messe München in Munich, Germany. Its pcb and circuit manufacture programme combines specialist knowledge with opportunities to compare technologies, methods and suppliers. This productronica edition is not presented as a space-only meeting, so teams should select the sessions and exhibitors that match a defined need.

The reason for including it in Arc’s space-engineering calendar is specific: production process selection, inspection, traceability, assembly automation and manufacturing-test capability for repeatable spacecraft electronics. Those pcb and circuit manufacture capabilities often sit below mission-level requirements but materially affect whether flight hardware can be designed, produced, verified and supported with defensible evidence. Space teams can therefore use productronica to investigate technical options, meet relevant specialists and understand adjacent-industry practices without assuming that every part of the programme applies to spacecraft development.

Event history and organiser

productronica has focused on electronics development and production technology since 1975 and takes place in Munich every two years. Its exhibition and practice-oriented forums cover the equipment, processes and services required to move electronic designs into controlled manufacture. Messe München publishes the current productronica information and remains the authoritative source for dates, venue, programme and access arrangements. Arc reviewed its pcb and circuit manufacture material on 31 August 2026 and separated confirmed edition facts from broader descriptions of the recurring event. Previous-edition information explains the productronica series and typical format, but it should not be used to infer an unannounced speaker, exhibitor, deadline or activity for 2027. This productronica guide links directly to the official sources and records its review date so readers can identify what may have changed before they register or travel. Readers should recheck details whenever the organiser publishes a later update.

Topics and themes

The official pcb and circuit manufacture scope is broader than space, but the following subjects have a direct connection to spacecraft engineering. Readers should use the live productronica programme to confirm the depth and timing of each subject.

• PCB and circuit manufacture: the programme helps space electronics manufacturers examine this subject against current engineering tools, methods and supplier capability.
• Component placement and assembly: the programme helps space electronics manufacturers examine this subject against current engineering tools, methods and supplier capability.
• Inspection and quality assurance: the programme helps space electronics manufacturers examine this subject against current engineering tools, methods and supplier capability.
• Production automation: the programme helps space electronics manufacturers examine this subject against current engineering tools, methods and supplier capability.
• Manufacturing test and traceability: the programme helps space electronics manufacturers examine this subject against current engineering tools, methods and supplier capability.

Who should attend?

productronica is most relevant to Space electronics manufacturers, Production and process engineers, Quality and inspection teams, Test engineers, Equipment and supply-chain specialists when they have a defined technical or assurance question to investigate. Programme managers and systems engineers may benefit when a pcb and circuit manufacture decision crosses requirements, design, manufacture, verification and supplier evidence. It is less useful for general space networking because it is electronics development and production trade fair. Before attending productronica, teams should review the programme and exhibitor information, identify relevant spacecraft work packages, and arrange focused conversations around qualification constraints, evidence needs, interfaces and lifecycle risk. Colleagues should agree productronica outcomes before making travel or registration commitments.

Practical information

productronica is listed for 16-19 November 2027 at Trade Fair Center Messe München, Munich. Check the official pcb and circuit manufacture event page immediately before booking for registration, opening times, programme changes and travel guidance. Arc is not the organiser and cannot confirm places. Space teams should shortlist productronica sessions or suppliers in advance and avoid treating exhibition claims as proof that a product is flight qualified.
