Light & Building 2026:
A look behind the scenes
The Light + Building 2026 was a true highlight for Grässlin Zeitschalttechnik GmbH – and we made the most of every opportunity to showcase our innovations and connect with partners. At the center of attention was our talento smart time switch, which Michael Bartle presented in a detailed interview. Trade visitors were particularly impressed by its digital flexibility, energy-efficient operation, and easy integration into industrial applications.
Our tip: Be sure to watch the interview video to learn more about the talento smart time switch and its wide range of applications!
But the trade fair was much more than just a product presentation: it was a hub for international exchange. Together with our Italian partner A.L.M.E., we discussed the introduction of additional products, especially the talento smart C15, as well as accompanying marketing activities. Jürgen Baryla will also be making another visit to Italy to directly support partners and customers on site. In Switzerland, ELBRO used the trade fair to acquire new target customers and discuss marketing ideas. Our partners El-Team (Poland) and Guijarro (Spain) focused on market and business development as well as planning upcoming projects – here too, Jürgen Baryla will be available for several customer visits.
And there is more to come: Jürgen Baryla will directly support our partners in Spain at the AUNA trade fair in June 2026 and in Switzerland at the INELTEC trade fair in September 2026. The goal: to present new products and jointly tap into new market opportunities.
We also held exciting discussions with Inter-Konnect (Ireland) about market potential and projects, while Macro-Max (Lebanon) focused on the introduction of motion detectors and the analysis of business development. Oude Elferink from the Netherlands used the trade fair to expand its customer base and intensify marketing activities. PAN (Austria), Pawbol (Latvia), RS Components (UK), SENO (Romania), and VANPEE (Denmark) were also active in presenting new products, discussing market strategies, and initiating future projects.
Once again, Light + Building 2026 demonstrated that direct exchange with partners and customers is irreplaceable. We were able to identify trends, gather valuable practical requirements, and gain concrete impulses for the further development of our talento smart products. At the same time, the trade fair helped strengthen our international partnerships and open up new business opportunities.
