From 29 September to 1 October 2026, Alihankinta brings the Nordic manufacturing industry to Tampere. It is the largest industrial trade fair in Northern Europe, with more than 1,000 exhibitors and over 29,000 professional visitors expected at Tampere Sports & Expo.
This year you will not need a floor plan to find us. A full-size DR VERSLAS aluminium footbridge stands on the forecourt in front of the main entrance. It is the first thing you pass on the way in, and it is there to be looked at closely.
What you can see at the entrance
The bridge on display is the kind of prefabricated structure we supply for pedestrian and cycle routes: a welded aluminium truss with diagonal bracing, an integrated railing and a walking deck, delivered to site as a finished unit and lifted into place in one piece.
A drawing or a photo only goes so far. At the entrance you can check what matters to an engineer or a buyer: how the welded joints are made, how the railing is detailed, and how light the structure is for its size.
Who should stop by
- Municipal and road authority engineers planning pedestrian and cycle links
- Contractors looking for a certified bridge supplier for public tenders
- Port, industrial and utility operators who need access bridges and walkways
- Architects and landscape designers working on parks and waterfronts
Talk to our manager
Our manager will be at the fair and is glad to discuss your project: span and load requirements, EN 1090 and Eurocode 9 documentation for tenders, delivery to Finland and the rest of the Nordic countries, and installation. If you have drawings or tender documents, bring them along or send them to us in advance.
To arrange a meeting in Tampere, call or message us on WhatsApp at +370 698 02654, email info@drverslas.eu, or use the project inquiry form.
