US and Canada pavilions unite at Metstrade 2025
The United States and Canada pavilions will share a joint space in Hall 12 at Metstrade 2025, marking the first time the two national exhibits have been co-located.
The combined presence will include 75 companies, seven of which are new exhibitors, representing North American marine innovation and manufacturing.
The North America Stage — organised by the National Marine Manufacturers Association (NMMA), the International BoatBuilders’ Exhibition & Conference (IBEX) and Soundings Trade Only — will form the centre of the joint pavilion, and will host three days of sessions for marine industry professionals. These sessions will address topics including renewable composites, updated electrical standards, trade policy and emerging consumer trends. Wet Sounds will act as the official audio sponsor for the stage.
Visitors to Hall 12 will find a range of materials, systems and services from US and Canadian suppliers. Anchored by NMMA (#12.902), IBEX (#12.909) and Soundings Trade Only (#12.700), the area will act as a meeting point for industry collaboration.
The North American networking reception will take place on Wednesday 19 November from 4.30pm to 6.30pm on the North America Stage. Presented by NMMA (Stand 12.902) and sponsored by BAR Marine by EDM (Stand 12.810) and Wet Sounds (Stand 12.728), the event will offer networking opportunities for participants from across the US and Canadian marine industries.
With the launch of the joint US and Canada pavilions, Hall 12 is intended to serve as a hub for builders, suppliers and distributors to connect with organisations including NMMA, NMMA Canada, IBEX, Soundings Trade Only, the US Coast Guard and ABYC.
Metstrade 2025 runs from 18 to 20 November in Amsterdam.
