Elmia AB, branded as **Elmia Fairs**, is one of the leading trade fair and event organizers in the Nordic region, headquartered on the Elmia exhibition grounds in Jönköping, Sweden.

From its own venue by Lake Vättern, Elmia develops proprietary exhibitions as well as hosts guest events, offering halls, outdoor demonstration areas and conference facilities that can be tailored for everything from heavy machinery demos to high‑level industry summits. A core strength in Elmia’s portfolio is advanced manufacturing and production technology.

Under the umbrella **Elmia Production Fairs**, Elmia co‑locates several specialized shows such as Elmia Machine Tools, Elmia Automation, Elmia Polymer and other technology‑driven events, creating the Nordic region’s largest business platform for production within the manufacturing industry.
