Salonvert 2026: a record-breaking edition for the trade show dedicated to the landscaping and green spaces sector

The 12th edition of Salonvert, held from 22 to 24 September 2026 at the Château de Baville (Saint-Chéron, Essonne), set an attendance record and confirmed the strong growth of the event.

 
Record attendance

From 22 to 24 September, the show's aisles were busy throughout: Salonvert welcomed 34,656 visitors, an increase of 14.4% compared with 2024. This turnout reflects the attachment of professionals to a show that brings the entire industry together across 15 hectares of trials and demonstrations of products and equipment under real working conditions.

Reserved for dealers and distributors, the Distribution Day on Tuesday 22 September alone attracted 4,667 visitors (up 7% on 2024). For the first time, it benefited from extended opening hours, from 8:30 am to 7 pm, allowing distributors to continue their discussions with their suppliers in a privileged setting.

UGAP (the French public procurement agency) also organised a technical day dedicated to road maintenance and green space products. It brought together sales, purchasing and marketing teams specialising in vehicles. More than 40 people attended to meet contract holders, discover the latest innovations through demonstrations and technical presentations, and foster professional exchanges and the sharing of feedback.


342 exhibitors and 594 brands

This edition brought together 342 exhibitors representing 594 brands, stable compared with the 2024 edition. 19% of exhibitors were new, offsetting the erosion caused by the market downturn observed since May and keeping the visitor offer at a good level. Sectors represented: machinery, compact construction equipment, equipment, accessories, services, inputs, digital solutions, plants and outdoor landscaping solutions.


2026 Innovation Awards: six winners
A highlight of the show, the Innovation Awards recognised six solutions. The jury, made up of employees and managers from landscaping companies and local authority green space departments, was able to see all the innovations up close, talk with the manufacturers and assess each solution under real working conditions.
DS Nature: compact telescopic pruning pole

Innovation Award - Green Space Maintenance Category
 

DS Nature: compact telescopic pruning pole

The jury selected this pole for its design, both simple and technical, its robustness and its ease of use. Modular, it adapts to a wide range of work at height. Its design incorporates feedback from users in the field.
Océwood: Bardage by Océwood

Innovation Award - Construction and Installation Category
 

Océwood: Bardage by Océwood

The jury singled out this cladding for its wood-effect technology, which offers a realistic finish as part of an eco-friendly approach. It also noted the quality of its design, its environmentally friendly manufacturing and the company's expertise.
STIGA: APX PRO autonomous robotic mower

Innovation Award - New Technologies Category
 

STIGA: APX PRO autonomous robotic mower

The jury rewarded this robot for its approach to autonomy: landscapers take it to their job sites and have it work alongside them. Designed as a collaborative robot (cobot), it supports the operator. The jury highlighted an approach combining research and pragmatism.
OA Design: Plant Dome

Innovation Award - Urban Design and Landscaping Category
 

OA Design: Plant Dome

The jury selected this dome for its original, elegant and robust design. A support for plants, it showcases them and creates a cool island that invites people to take a break in public spaces. It thus brings an aesthetic dimension to urban landscaping.
FJDynamics: FJD Rough Ranger multi-purpose robotic mower

Innovation Award - Sports Ground Maintenance Category
 

FJDynamics: FJD Rough Ranger multi-purpose robotic mower

This robot caught the jury's attention for its multifunctional equipment, in particular its line-marking tool. Precise and multi-tasking, it combines several sports ground maintenance applications in a single machine.
Ripagreen: ISKA Hybrid Pro weeder / blower

Innovation Award - Sustainable Development Category
 

Ripagreen: ISKA Hybrid Pro weeder / blower

The jury singled out this device for combining weeding and blowing in a single tool. It also noted its ergonomics, the safety it offers the operator and their surroundings, and the cost-effectiveness and versatility of the gas used. A solution suited to pesticide-free maintenance.
Holding GaLaBau and Salonvert close together in the calendar, as both organisers intended, is paying off: within two weeks, exhibitors can present their new products in Europe's two largest landscaping markets. This setting encourages innovation, as shown by the growing number of applications for the Innovation Awards (+30% compared with 2024).

The Salonvert Garden: +15% exhibitors and a larger area 
The area dedicated to the landscaping of private gardens and local authority public spaces was once again a great success, welcoming 15% more exhibitors. The Salonvert Garden meets a strong demand from professionals: finding solutions to design, landscape, plant and maintain outdoor spaces.

See you from Tuesday 19 to Thursday 21 September 2028, with the launch of a plant hub
 
Salonvert is already inviting the entire industry to meet again from 19 to 21 September 2028. This edition will mark a new milestone with the launch of a plant hub dedicated to the sector's expertise, players and offering. Salonvert aims to support the industry even better in meeting the challenges of greening and sustainable landscaping.

The organising team would like to thank all the exhibitors, partners and visitors who contributed to the success of this edition.
