Registration for new customers

Are you a freight forwarder or stand constructor but are not yet a Messe Frankfurt customer?

If so, then why not register as a Messe Frankfurt customer? Here, you can find a customer registration application. Simply fill this in and send it to us by e-mail, fax or post. Once you have a customer number, the services will be billed to you after the trade fair has come to an end.

Without a customer number, you have the option of paying for services in advance by cash, debit card or credit card. The cash desk in the Cargo Center is open during the official set-up and dismantling times and during the advanced set-up period.
