Euro Trophex: A New Era for the Awards and Recognition Industry

The awards and recognition industry has long relied on key exhibitions to showcase innovation, connect suppliers with buyers, and shape the future of the sector. Among these, Trophex once stood as a cornerstone event, uniting businesses and professionals across the awards, engraving, and personalisation industries.

Now, as the trophy, awards, medals, engraving and personalisation industry evolves, so does its premier exhibition. Euro Trophex emerges as the next chapter in this legacy, born from Trophex and driven by the very industry it serves.

The Origins: Trophex – A Legacy of Excellence

Trophex had long been a household name in the awards and recognition sector. Established over 35 years ago as a key industry exhibition, it was originally created by the trophy industry as a platform to reach a wider audience. It provided a dedicated space for manufacturers, suppliers, and buyers to meet, exchange ideas, and explore the latest trends in trophies, medals, engraving technology, and personalisation services. For decades, Trophex played an instrumental role in fostering business growth and innovation within the sector.

The Evolution: Euro Trophex Was Born

Recognising the need for a more expansive and internationally focused event, Euro Trophex was born. This transformation was a strategic move to reflect the industry's growing global reach and the demand for a larger, more comprehensive exhibition.

With this shift, the event now embraces a wider European and International audience, providing greater opportunities for networking, product launches, and knowledge exchange. Additionally, the decision was made to move the show to a new European destination for each event, broadening accessibility to a much wider target audience.

Founded by the Industry

What makes Euro Trophex truly unique is its foundation—it originated from Trophex which was created by the industry, as a platform for the industry to get together and network.

Since its foundation, industry leaders, businesses, and professionals have played a pivotal role in shaping the event’s direction, ensuring it meets the specific needs of exhibitors and attendees alike. This collaborative approach has resulted in an exhibition that remains relevant, dynamic, and tailored to the ever-changing demands of the awards and recognition sector.

A Bright Future for Euro Trophex

After a successful show held in Berlin on 1st and 2nd February 2025, Euro Trophex is set to redefine the way industry professionals connect and do business with a broader scope, increased international participation, and a commitment to innovation. From cutting-edge engraving technologies to sustainable awards solutions, the exhibition continues to be the premier destination for those seeking the latest in the field.

As Euro Trophex takes centre stage, it carries forward the rich legacy of Trophex while paving the way for the future of the industry. By staying true to its roots and embracing global opportunities, it remains the definitive event for the awards and recognition sector.

The 2025 event attracted a wide-ranging audience from across Europe, with a vast increase in visitors from the UK and Ireland. The exciting news is that the next show will be held in October 2026, with the destination yet to be revealed once the exhibitors have collaborated to determine where they would like to go.

Stay tuned—Euro Trophex continues to shape the future of the industry, and we can’t wait to welcome you to the next ground-breaking event!
