At the beginning of each year, the CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas establishes itself as one of the world’s leading international innovation events. Founded in 1967, the show now brings together several thousand exhibitors and visitors from around the globe, representing a wide range of sectors including electronics, industry, automation, materials, artificial intelligence, and advanced manufacturing.

Although CES is historically associated with consumer technologies, it is above all a true laboratory for tomorrow’s industrial trends. The solutions presented directly influence the evolution of production processes, industrial equipment, and performance and reliability requirements.

CES 2026 will highlight several key themes for the industrial world:

• Automation and robotisation of production lines
• Digitalisation of processes and intelligent control of equipment
• Optimisation of industrial performance, particularly in terms of speed, precision, and repeatability
• Technologies supporting sustainability, aimed at producing better results with fewer resources and reduced waste

Why this matters for Matissart

• CES sets the global pace for innovation (automation, digitalisation, advanced manufacturing).
• The trends presented indirectly influence:
  • the need for more precise and higher-performance tooling,
  • the integration of new technologies into industrial processes,
  • the pursuit of productivity and reliability.
• For Matissart, CES serves as a strategic observatory of developments that will shape customer requirements in the medium term.

Matissart’s guiding principle: Anticipating industrial trends to design the molds of tomorrow.
