Koelnmesse Exhibitors

New (13 October 2026): fewer rows without contact data. Exhibitor profiles the fair site refuses to serve – even through a residential address – now get a second try through Apify's Web Fetch: on Apify, 11 of 16 such Anuga profiles came back.

Pick a Koelnmesse fair (or paste any page of it), get one row per exhibitor: company, hall and stand, address, business email, phone, brands, product categories. Works for 13 fairs in the list – among them Anuga, ISM, imm cologne, interzum, IDS, Orgatec, spoga+gafa and Eisenwarenmesse – and for other fairs on the same directory.

Limits: the current edition only – between two editions the last one (e.g. Anuga 2025). E-mail and phone appear only where the exhibitor published them (93–99 % with e-mail in tests of 100 exhibitors per fair, October 2026); missing values stay empty instead of being guessed. The fair sites throttle fast clients, so full profiles take about 3–4 minutes per 100 exhibitors. Profiles the site refuses to serve to us are fetched through Apify's own Web Fetch, which Apify bills on your account ($0.0015 per delivered page) – web_fetch: false switches it off.

Pick the fair from the list — or paste any page of the fair, even its home page or the German Ausstellerverzeichnis: the exhibitor list is found automatically.

How to use – step by step

1. Click Try for free on this page (a free Apify account is enough) – Anuga is preselected with 20 exhibitors.
2. Pick the fair under Trade fair – or paste any page of another Koelnmesse fair into Or: any page of a Koelnmesse fair.
3. Keep Fetch full company profiles on for address, e-mail, phone and product categories; switch it off for a fast list of company, country and hall/stand. Choose the Output format.
4. Set Maximum exhibitors (0 = the whole fair) and click Start. 100 exhibitors with profiles took 215 seconds on Apify (Anuga, October 2026); a complete Anuga about 1.5 hours.
5. Open the Output tab: the Exhibitors view shows company, hall and stand, city, country, e-mail, phone, website, whether the profile was read, the row status, the check time and your input. Export as CSV, Excel or JSON, or read the rows through the API.

Which edition? The actor exports the list the fair currently publishes. Between two editions this is usually the last one — for example the Anuga 2025 exhibitors until the Anuga 2027 list goes online. Every record carries fairEdition (e.g. 2025), so you always know which edition you have.

Why this actor

• 📇 Contact data included — postal address, business e-mail, phone and fax straight from each exhibitor's published profile
• 🌳 Real category hierarchy — the directory stores product categories as a nested tree; this actor flattens it into readable paths like Dairy products > Cheese > Hard cheese instead of dumping raw codes
• 🎯 Trade-specific fields — trend subjects, distribution channels and target markets tell you not just who exhibits but who they sell to
• 🏛 Hall and stand for every exhibitor, even in fast list-only mode
• 🧭 One actor, every Koelnmesse fair — pick it from a list, no URL hunting
• 🛡 Built for the fair sites' load protection — requests are paced to stay below their firewall, every run uses one fixed address of its own, pauses automatically when a site signals overload, and re-reads profiles that came back incomplete. An exhibitor is never stored with an empty profile just because the site was busy.

Use cases

• Lead generation — exhibitors are companies with a marketing budget and a buying season, complete with e-mail and phone
• Market research — who exhibits in which category, which countries dominate a sector, how a fair's line-up shifts between editions
• Distribution scouting — filter by target markets and distribution channels to find manufacturers looking for exactly your channel
• Event planning — hall and stand assignments as a clean table
• CRM enrichment — match your accounts against a fair's exhibitor list
• AI agents — clean schema, callable via MCP

Input example

{
    "fair": "anuga",
    "scrape_details": true,
    "output_type": "single_row",
    "result_limit": 500
}

Or with any page of a fair: "start_url": "https://www.imm-cologne.com/".

Use output_type: "multi_row" for one row per exhibitor × product category — ideal for pivot tables. Set scrape_details: false for a fast overview run (company, country, hall/stand).

Notes

• Only public company information is collected — company address, business contact details and booth data as published by the exhibitors themselves. No named contact persons, no login-protected content.
• Requests are paced to stay below the fair websites' rate limits (about 0.8 requests per second), so the data is complete rather than fast: 100 exhibitors with full profiles take about 3 minutes, a complete large fair such as Anuga (about 4,000 exhibitors) about 1.5 hours. List-only mode is much faster.
• Contact-data coverage (measured October 2026, 100 exhibitors each): Anuga 96 % with e-mail and 100 % with address and website, imm cologne 99 %, interzum 97 %, IDS 93 %. The rest publish no e-mail in their profile — missing values are returned empty, never guessed. Company name, country and hall/stand come for every exhibitor; detailsFetched: false marks the rare exhibitor without a published profile.
• Not affiliated with or endorsed by Koelnmesse GmbH.

What does a run cost?

Exhibitors	Cost
100	$0.51
1,000	$5.01
Anuga, complete (~4,000)	~$20.01

$0.01 per run start plus $0.005 per result. scrape_details: false returns company, country and hall/stand much faster at the same price. With output_type: "multi_row" every exhibitor × category row is a result.

Web Fetch (billed by Apify, not by this actor): some profiles the fair site will not serve to us, not even through a residential address – in a run of 12 October 2026, 27 of 100 Anuga profiles. These are fetched through Apify's own Web Fetch actor. It runs on your Apify account and Apify bills it there: $0.0015 per delivered page on the free plan plus $0.00005 per call start (Apify Store, 13 October 2026), so 27 profiles cost about $0.04 extra. Rows fetched this way say fetchedVia: "web_fetch". With web_fetch: false nothing is fetched this way and those exhibitors keep their list data (status: list_only).

Changelog

• 13 October 2026 – Profiles the fair site refuses to serve, even through a residential address, are now fetched through Apify's Web Fetch (on your Apify account, $0.0015 per delivered page; input web_fetch, on by default). Every row read from a profile says how it was fetched: fetchedVia = data_centre, residential or web_fetch. Test of 13 October 2026: 3 of 3 refused Anuga profiles came back complete.
• 12 October 2026 – Every row says how it was obtained: status (ok = read from the profile page, list_only = the profile could not be read, with the reason, not_requested = list mode, no_profile = the linked profile page does not exist), checkedAt (UTC) and input (the fair or page you entered). With a short run time limit (e.g. 300 seconds) the time for profiles that load only through the residential address is now reserved, and the time limit is checked before every profile, so exhibitors are stored with their list data instead of being lost when the run ends. detailsFetched is now false for profile pages that no longer exist.
• 12 October 2026 – At the start the run waits when the fair site throttles instead of giving up; an empty list of a known fair (between two editions) ends with a clear message and costs nothing beyond the start; at your cost limit the run stops and says how many exhibitors were stored.
• 8 October 2026 (0.2) – Profiles are read one at a time at the pace the sites accept, and profiles that came back incomplete are read again before they are stored; 13 fairs to pick from a list, German directory pages and home pages accepted; country code and edition year in every row. E-mail coverage in tests: Anuga 96 %, imm cologne 99 %, interzum 97 %, IDS 93 %.

Auf Deutsch: Ausstellerliste der Koelnmesse exportieren

Messe auswählen (oder eine beliebige Seite der Messe einfügen), je Aussteller eine Zeile raus: Firma, Halle und Stand, Anschrift, geschäftliche E-Mail, Telefon, Marken und Produktkategorien – nur, wo die Aussteller sie veröffentlichen. Es gilt die aktuelle Ausgabe der Messe.

Zur Auswahl stehen Anuga, Anuga FoodTec, ISM, imm cologne, interzum, IDS, ORGATEC, spoga+gafa, EISENWARENMESSE, FSB, aquanale, Kind + Jugend und didacta; weitere Koelnmesse-Messen gehen über eine Seite der Messe (auch das deutsche Ausstellerverzeichnis). Dazu kommen Fax, Website, der vollständige Baum der Produktgruppen, Zielmärkte und Vertriebswege.

Typische Anwendungsfälle: Messevorbereitung und Terminplanung, Marktübersichten einer Branche, Wettbewerbsbeobachtung, Lieferantensuche. Export als Excel, CSV oder JSON. Hinweis: Werbe-E-Mails an Firmen brauchen in Deutschland nach § 7 UWG eine vorherige Einwilligung.

Profile, die die Messe-Website uns verweigert, holt der Actor über Apifys eigenen Web Fetch. Apify rechnet das über das eigene Apify-Konto ab (0,0015 $ je gelieferter Seite im Gratis-Tarif); web_fetch: false schaltet es ab.

FAQ

Which fairs work? Anuga, Anuga FoodTec, ISM, imm cologne, interzum, IDS, Orgatec, spoga+gafa, Eisenwarenmesse, FSB, aquanale, Kind + Jugend and didacta are in the list; other Koelnmesse fairs work by pasting any page of the fair — English or German.

How complete is the contact data? Company name, country and hall/stand come for every exhibitor. In our October 2026 test runs 93–99 % of the exhibitors also came with e-mail and nearly all with postal address and website (Anuga, imm cologne, interzum, IDS). Missing values are returned empty rather than guessed.

Why does a full export take a while? The fair websites throttle fast clients — they then serve stand-in pages instead of profiles. This actor keeps to the pace the sites accept and re-reads every profile that comes back incomplete. A profile that still cannot be read is stored with its list data and status list_only – it is charged like every row, and the reason says why the profile is missing.

What is the product category tree? The directory stores each exhibitor's categories as a nested hierarchy. This actor flattens it into readable paths such as Dairy products > Cheese > Hard cheese instead of returning raw codes.

Can I filter by target market or distribution channel? The directory does not support that as a search filter, but both fields are in the output — filter them in your spreadsheet or pipeline after export.

Can I get past editions? No. The directory serves the list the fair currently publishes — between two editions usually the last one (e.g. Anuga 2025 until the 2027 list is online).
