North America Expands Global Footprint at 2025 Metstrade, Limited Space Remains in New Hall

With the 2025 Marine Equipment Trade Show (Metstrade) set to be the largest in its history, NMMA and NMMA Canada are expanding their joint footprint with a powerful North American presence in the show’s newly opened Hall 12.

Taking place Nov. 18–20 in Amsterdam, Metstrade 2025 will span all halls of the RAI Exhibition Center for the first time. In tandem, NMMA is scaling up the USA Pavilion and partnering with NMMA Canada for a co-located, unified North American Pavilion. Situated alongside the Italian Pavilion—representing another top-tier global marine market—Hall 12 will be a magnet for international buyers and industry leaders.

This year’s enhanced experience is designed to maximize member visibility and global business opportunity:
  • Debut of the North America Stage: Powered by NMMA, IBEX, and Soundings Trade Only, this new stage will spotlight industry voices and trends, drawing key audiences directly into Hall 12.
  • Omni-Channel Global Marketing Campaign: NMMA and NMMA Canada are investing in an integrated promotional push to generate sustained awareness and foot traffic before, during and after the show.
  • Enhanced Networking Opportunities: New programming is being developed to make Hall 12 a central hub for global collaboration and dealmaking.
A limited number of exhibit spaces remain in the USA Pavilion. Marine businesses looking to enter or expand their reach in international markets are encouraged to act quickly.
