In 2009, MAINTAIN, the International Trade Fair for Industrial Maintenance, will be held in the halls of Munich's M,O,C, Event Center for the fifth time from October 13 – 15. Since it was founded in the autumn of 2005, MAINTAIN has met with growing success and developed into the leading maintenance exhibition in Europe. MAINTAIN is the marketplace for impetus, strategies and service concepts in the sector for industrial maintenance. It is the industry's most important gathering, and it brings together all decision-makers in the manufacturing and processing industry who use the international trade fair as a business and communications platform. With a common goal: to promote innovations and service solutions in close dialog.
 
As both a reflection of and a source of momentum to the maintenance industry, MAINTAIN is constantly being developed together with leading maintenance experts based on the latest market influences and industry requirements. Norbert Bargmann, Managing Director of Messe München GmbH, explains: "MAINTAIN's emphasizes solutions that translate into concrete competitive advantages and factors of success. Maintenance management and related services are becoming increasingly important in the maintenance industry, so in addition to high-quality components and special solutions, more and more companies rely on complete and system solutions. That is why we and leading industry representatives decided to restructure the fair's exhibition sectors."
 
The range of exhibits at MAINTAIN 2009 will be broken down into categories for complete, special-purpose and system solutions, which allows companies to define their products and services more precisely and to present them to trade visitors in the right context.
