Why visit
Two days cover equipment, process, maintenance, automation, safety and energy solutions in one hall, with live machines and free technical conferences. It is a practical sourcing trip for plant, maintenance and procurement teams based in the Marseille-Aix-Fos corridor.
Why exhibit
More than 230 exhibitors meet buyers who run production sites in the South-East, and at least 40% of the offer is regional, so local relevance is a core selling point. A compact two-day format keeps stand costs and staff time below a national show.

Audience quality
High-value decision-makers
The audience is professional and local: plant, maintenance, procurement and HSE staff from process, energy, petrochemical, naval and manufacturing sites in the Marseille-Aix-Fos area. The 2025 OJS return records 3,961 fréquentation and 57 foreign visits, so the core buyer is regional rather than international.
Exhibitor outcomes
Real business growth
Best ROI comes from a focused stand with a live machine or service demonstration and a clear regional message. The show is too short for broad brand building, but it puts a supplier in front of nearby plant decision-makers at low travel cost; follow up within 48 hours while the visit is fresh.
Intelligence
Market context
Key market insights, trends, news and related events to help you understand the bigger picture.
Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, France
Why it matters
The Marseille-Aix-Fos corridor concentrates petrochemical, energy, naval, logistics and manufacturing plants that all buy process equipment and maintenance services. A regional show shortens the sourcing cycle and gives local suppliers face time with plant decision-makers.
Industry trends
Key trends shaping this market and its wider industry.
Predictive maintenance moves from pilot to standard practice
Plants are connecting rotating equipment and utilities to condition-monitoring platforms, then using the data to plan interventions before failures.
What it changes: Maintenance teams can compare sensors, software and service contracts in one place rather than building a stack from separate vendors.
Decarbonisation reshapes process equipment choices
Electrification, heat recovery and energy measurement are now specifications in equipment upgrades, not separate sustainability projects.
What it changes: Buyers want suppliers who can document energy performance and integrate low-carbon options into existing lines.
Industrial safety and cybersecurity converge
Connected factories widen the attack surface and raise the value of integrated safety, security and network monitoring.
What it changes: The new safety and security village at the 2027 show reflects demand for suppliers who can address both physical and digital risk.

First-timer guide
Follow-up playbook
- Send a same-day thank-you to every priority contact.
- Summarise the technical requirement and next step in the email subject line.
- Share the relevant brochure or drawing, not the full catalogue.
- Log the lead in the CRM with the show and stand number.
- Book a call or site visit within two weeks for qualified opportunities.
A two-day regional show generates a small number of high-intent conversations rather than a large volume of cold leads. Speed and technical specificity matter more than a long nurture sequence.

FAQs & glossary
Answers
Frequently asked
When is Sepem Martigues 2027?
Sepem Industries Sud-Est - Martigues 2027 runs on Tuesday 8 June and Wednesday 9 June 2027. Doors open from 09:00 to 18:00 on the Tuesday and from 09:00 to 17:00 on the Wednesday. The two-day format is shorter than the three-day 2025 edition, so plan supplier meetings across both mornings.
Where is Sepem Martigues 2027 held?
The show takes place at La Halle de Martigues, Rond-Point de l’Hôtel de Ville, 13500 Martigues, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region of southern France. The hall is in central Martigues, roughly 30 minutes by road from Marseille Provence Airport and about 45 minutes from Marseille Saint-Charles station by regional train and bus.
Is Sepem Martigues 2027 free to attend?
Yes. Entry, parking and the catalogue are free for professional visitors, but you need a visitor badge. Registration opens on the official event site before the show; bring a printed or mobile badge to the main entrance. On-site registration is available, although pre-registering avoids the first-morning queue.
What are the opening hours of Sepem Martigues 2027?
The hall is open from 09:00 to 18:00 on Tuesday 8 June 2027 and from 09:00 to 17:00 on Wednesday 9 June 2027. The Wednesday closes one hour earlier, so schedule priority meetings and machine demonstrations before mid-afternoon. Conference sessions and the exhibition floor share the same opening window.
Who should visit Sepem Martigues 2027?
The show suits plant and production managers, maintenance and reliability engineers, procurement leads, HSE and quality managers, and technical directors from process, petrochemical, energy, naval and manufacturing sites in the Marseille-Aix-Fos area. It is also useful for companies looking for regional subcontractors, automation, safety equipment or decarbonisation services.
Who should exhibit at Sepem Martigues 2027?
Suppliers of process equipment, pumps, valves, filtration, maintenance services, predictive-maintenance software, automation, robotics, safety and security systems, and regional machining or boiler-making subcontractors should exhibit. More than 230 exhibitors are expected, and at least 40% of the offer comes from the region, so local relevance and short lead times are strong selling points.
How many exhibitors will be at Sepem Martigues 2027?
The organiser advertises more than 230 exhibitors for the 2027 edition. The last completed edition in June 2025 recorded 228 exhibitors, including 20 foreign exhibitors, according to the OJS statistical return. The 2027 figure is therefore a modest increase on the 2025 total rather than a step change in scale.
How many visitors attended the last Sepem Martigues?
The June 2025 edition recorded a fréquentation of 3,961 and 2,218 total visits, including 57 foreign visits, according to the OJS return. Around 228 exhibitors took part over three days at La Halle de Martigues. The 2027 edition runs for two days, so compare attendance figures with that shorter format in mind.
What topics are covered at Sepem Martigues 2027?
Conference themes include Maintenance 4.0, artificial intelligence, decarbonisation and industrial energy efficiency. The floor covers process equipment, maintenance tools and services, automation and robotics, safety and security, metalworking and subcontracting. A new village dedicated to industrial safety and security is added for 2027, alongside live machine demonstrations.
How do I register for a visitor badge?
Register through the official Martigues SEPEM site before the show and create a free professional visitor badge. The badge gives access to the exhibition floor and the free technical conferences. Keep the confirmation email or QR code on your phone, and bring a business card or ID matching your registration in case the desk asks for verification.
