The KühlSchmierStoffForum, formerly known as the KSS Fair, is a trade fair that comprehensively addresses the use and maintenance of coolant lubricants in industrial metal processing. The acronym "KSS" stands for coolant lubricants, which play an essential role in efficient production processes. The forum takes place every three years at the Schwabenlandhalle in Fellbach, a city that holds strategic significance due to its proximity to major industrial centers in Germany. Hosted by the Lubricant Industry Association (Verband Schmierstoff-Industrie e.V.), the forum provides a platform for exchanges between users and manufacturers about the latest technical and regulatory developments. Key topics include sustainability in mechanical processing, innovative oil-free coolant lubricants, microbiology in production without biocides, advanced filtration techniques, the disposal of coolant lubricants, and current VDI guidelines and DGUV regulations. A special focus of the event is on the presentation of new products and services that enhance performance and safety in metal processing. In addition to the main exhibition, poster presentations by universities and a panel discussion addressing current research questions offer further insights and promote scientific exchange. The fair attracts professionals from various industries, including mechanical engineering, the automotive industry, and metal processing companies. Primary visitors are decision-makers, technicians, and scientists who work directly with coolant lubricants or are active in related fields. The Schwabenlandhalle in the picturesque town of Fellbach is easily accessible by public transport and car, offering a modern, accessible event space. Thus, the KühlSchmierStoffForum is an indispensable event for everyone interested in the latest developments and best practices in the field of coolant lubricants. Exhibitors and visitors meet for the thirty-third time on the KühlSchmierStoffForum on 2 days from Wed., 18.11.2026 to Thur., 19.11.2026 in Fellbach.
