COLOGNE, Germany — European outdoor products show Spoga+Gafa has reported a large number of member companies from the Dutch Outdoor Furniture Association slated to participate in the 2026 iteration of the event, set for June 22-24 at Koelnmesse here.
“We are very pleased at the clear commitment of the DOFA and the strong presence of Dutch companies at Spoga+Gafa 2026,” said Claudia Maurer, director of Spoga+Gafa. “The close and trustful cooperation with the association is of great importance to us and is an important building block for the further international development of the trade fair.”
A large field of DOFAS member participants have already registered for Spoga+Gafa 2026, including 4 Seasons Outdoor, Applebee, CFM Traders, Eurofar International, Gimeg Nederland B.V., Golden Care, Hartman B.V., Higold, Lesli Living, Life Outdoor Living International B.V., Platinum, Shadow Comfort, Sunsit and Winza B.V.
“Spoga+Gafa remains an important event for many of our members,” said Harmen Wim Lammers, director of DOFAS. “We appreciate the steps Koelnmesse is taking to further develop the fair and strengthen its position in the outdoor living industry. We look forward to a clearly renewed and highly successful 2026 edition.”
Spoga+Gafa said it attributes increased interest in the show to its new “Growing Forward” format for 2026, which includes new themes designed to address current market trends — Outdoor Adventure, Object.Europe, Flavor Market and the Garden Sourcing Hub.
“With the further developed ‘Growing Forward’ concept, the 2026 trade fair is deliberately striving for formats that pick up on current market requirements, open new sales channels and reinforce the professional exchange along the entire outdoor living value creation chain,” the show’s organizers said in a statement.
