LH Hub Global · 2027

Agoris analysis · updated October 2026

Key takeaways

• LH Hub Global is an industrial event that brings together in Le Havre, at the same venue and on the same dates, four professional trade shows run by the same organiser: Genead (energy), LH Pétro+Chimie (chemicals, petrochemicals, refining), Industrissime (services, equipment and process, all industries) and PharmaAgro (pharmaceuticals, agri-food, cosmetics).
• Next edition: Wednesday 24 and Thursday 25 November 2027, at the Carré des Docks - Le Havre Normandie. Open from 9:00am to 6:00pm on Wednesday and from 9:00am to 5:00pm on Thursday. Free entry, with or without an invitation.
• Organiser: SAS elféa, a communications agency that has been organising and co-organising professional events since 1988. No co-organiser.
• Biennial frequency, in odd-numbered years. The event extends LH Pétro+Chimie, whose first edition was held in November 2021 at the Carré des Docks. Genead moved in on the same dates in 2023, Industrissime followed in 2025, the year the LH Hub Global name appears, and PharmaAgro joins in 2027.
• Key figures: the only results published by the organiser are those of LH Pétro+Chimie 2021, with 2,100 visitors, 186 exhibitors and more than four hundred pre-scheduled business meetings. For 2025, the official exhibitor list for the three trade shows combined had 221 registrations; no attendance figure has been published.

Who exhibits

Typical profile

The four trade shows share a common nomenclature of more than a hundred families of products and trades. It paints the picture of the suppliers to an operating industrial site: pumps, valve fittings and valves; instrumentation, measurement, control and gas detection; explosion protection; non-destructive testing, inspection and certification; boilermaking, piping, flanges and fittings; insulation, scaffolding, work at height and on-site machining; maintenance and industrial transfer; PPE and risk prevention; water, waste and air treatment. It also makes room for nuclear safety, radiation protection, sterilisation, raw materials, additives and excipients.

Exhibitors are suppliers, subcontractors, service providers and equipment manufacturers, joined by institutions, local authorities and clusters. Each trade show has its own angle:

• LH Pétro+Chimie, the original trade show, welcomes the sectors of the Le Havre area: additives, speciality chemicals, plant-based chemistry, green chemistry, fertilisers, lubricants, plastics, refining, storage, bulk, port. The organiser promotes a territory presented as France's leading petrochemical basin, which is said to concentrate 43% of French refining capacity.
• Genead, the trade show for the engineering of today's and tomorrow's energies, rests on three themes: decarbonisation, environment and safety. Its presentation page points out that the Normandy energy mix combines nuclear, thermal, hydroelectric, wind, solar, marine energy, hydrogen, biomass and cogeneration.
• Industrissime presents itself as a multi-sector trade show for services, equipment and process: "All industries, all trades, all functions." It describes itself as a human-scale trade show.
• PharmaAgro, new to Le Havre in 2027, targets the pharmaceutical, agri-food and cosmetics industries and their associated processes: the solids chain, biotechnology, pharmaceutical chemistry. The LH Pétro+Chimie website highlights the proximity of Val-de-Reuil, 95 kilometres away, where pharmaceutical and cosmetics production is present in large numbers.

Notable exhibitors

The 2027 exhibitor list had not been published at the time of writing: the site states that registration for business meetings will open "as soon as the exhibitor list is released". The site publishes neither a procedure nor a registration pack for exhibiting: the Visit · Exhibit page is limited to the nomenclature of trades and visitor services, and the Contact page displays an e-mail address.

The 2025 edition gives a sense of the line-up. Its official list, consulted in a version archived on 13 December 2025, had 221 registrations. It included industrial services groups such as Snef, Equans, Eiffage, Altrad Endel, Altrad Prezioso and Kaefer; safety, instrumentation and measurement specialists such as R. Stahl France, HIMA France, Yokogawa France, Teledyne Gas and Flame Detection, MSA Safety, Megger and Mitutoyo; as well as Knauf Insulation, Henkel Technologies France, Trelleborg, Dekra Industrial, Artelia, Trane, Axians, Dachser France and United Rentals.

Registered under the LH Hub Global label itself, the regional players shared stand E39 in 2025: HAROPA PORT, which presented itself as the trade show's official partner, AD Normandie, Caux Seine Développement, Le Havre Seine Développement, Normandie Énergies, the UMEP, Upside Boucles de Rouen, Socrate Axe Seine and Incase.

Visitor quality

The target audience is staff from the industrial sectors covered by the trade shows' themes and from related industries. The non-exhaustive list of invited departments includes: purchasing, maintenance, inspection, reliability, corrosion, processes, production, instrumentation, metrology, HSE and QHSE, laboratory, supply chain, projects, investment, management. Plant shutdowns ("arrêts") are named explicitly.

The organiser says it invites all the industrial networks of the region within a 300 km radius, as well as national economic hubs.

No OJS certification or third-party audit of attendance is published. The only benchmark remains the LH Pétro+Chimie 2021 results: 2,100 visitors for 186 exhibitors, a little over eleven visitors per exhibitor. LH Pétro+Chimie presents itself as "a space for connecting principals, partners, service providers and subcontractors".

Programme & community

Conference programme

For 2027, the Conferences page shows a "Programme in preparation", and the presentation announces that the detailed programme will go online soon. The announced principle does not change: conferences, round tables, workshops and demonstrations, put forward by partners and exhibitors, with free entry.

The 2025 programme, as archived on 16 November 2025, three days before opening, sets the tone: twelve conferences and round tables over two days, each one pointing to a stand. The announced topics covered maintenance and reliability (monitoring of dissolved gases in transformers, artificial intelligence applied to maintenance, the shortage of technicians), port safety (an alert system whose introduction was initiated by the Le Havre harbour master's office to evacuate the quays if a ship goes out of control), regulation (detection of methane emissions under European regulation 2024/1787) and decarbonisation: HAROPA PORT's strategy, the electrification of uses presented by EDF, Futerro's biorefinery project in Normandy, solutions for industry and decarbonised mobility with Air Products, Qair and Engie.

Demonstrations were also announced on stands, including an artificial intelligence vibration detection bench at Eiffage Énergie Systèmes and a shop-floor three-dimensional measuring machine at Mitutoyo.

Business meetings

The organiser promotes this free service: time savings, profitability and efficiency. Visitors can pre-schedule meetings at stands with exhibitors free of charge, as soon as the exhibitor list is released. In 2021, more than four hundred meetings had been pre-scheduled ahead of LH Pétro+Chimie. In 2025, the website's home page announced online registration for business meetings as soon as the exhibitor list was released, and the archived list offered a filter by trade.

Community & networks

The 2027 edition's website displays the partners banner "Recommended and energised in 2025". It features the regional economic and port players: AD Normandie, Caux Seine Développement, Le Havre Seine Développement, Incase, Upside Boucles de Rouen, the UMEP (Union Maritime et Portuaire Le Havre) and HAROPA PORT. These are joined by Normandie Énergies and energy and chemicals industrial players (EDF, Engie, Qair, Air Products, Futerro), associations and networks such as Socrate, Synerzip-LH, Réseau Mesure and ANFAS Normandie (Normandy Association for Safety Training and Action); Eureka Industries (technical training body and publisher) and euroénergie; as well as media and online services: PDF Industries Magazine, europétrole (information portal on the oil, gas and energy industry) and Pour l'industrie, a professional networking site published by elféa itself. The banner also carries the "Labelled event" logo of the Semaine de l'industrie.

Highlights are relayed on LH Hub Global's LinkedIn and Instagram accounts. Before, during and after the trade show, the organiser circulates focus pieces, online info-products and PDF magazines on participants (InfoWEB and InfoPDF).

The same organiser rolls out the model under the Hub Global Events banner. Provence Hub Global brings together Industrissime, Genead and Petrochymia at the Halle de Martigues on 25 and 26 November 2026, and a third event, DK Hub Global, appears on the network's portal. PharmaAgro, for its part, was announced at the Kursaal de Dunkerque on 20 and 21 May 2026, according to an archived version of its website.

On site: what you need to know

The event is held at the Carré des Docks - Le Havre Normandie, 64 quai de la Réunion, between the city and the port. The building occupies the former Docks Café, port warehouses through which coffee passed, converted into a congress and exhibition centre and inaugurated in December 2016. According to its operator, the exhibition area is divided into three adjoining halls lit by glass roofs, of 1,490, 3,490 and 2,135 m², for some 7,000 m² of exhibition space linked to the congress centre, which also has a 2,100-seat auditorium. The event has been held there since 2021.

By train, Paris Saint-Lazare is 2 hours 15 minutes away on the Normandie line, and Le Havre station is a five-minute walk; both tram lines go to the "Gares" terminus. Buses 9, 19 and C3 stop at Carré des Docks, Bains des Docks or Docks Vauban. By car, the A13 puts Rouen and Caen about an hour away and Paris two hours; the A29 puts Amiens two hours away and Lille three; car parks line the basins. The airport is about twenty minutes away, according to the venue's website.

The trade show is open from 9:00am to 6:00pm on Wednesday 24 November 2027 and from 9:00am to 5:00pm on Thursday 25 November. The practical information page refers visitors to the tourist and convention office (lehavre-etretat-tourisme.com). An official photographer and video crew cover the event: taking part constitutes consent to the use of images.

How much it costs to exhibit

Preparing your visit

For exhibitors

• Find out which trade show your stand would be attached to: the 2025 list split registrations between three trade shows and the shared LH Hub Global label; the breakdown by brand is not detailed publicly.
• Choose your trades carefully in the shared nomenclature: the 2025 list could be filtered by trade.
• Expect meeting requests: the trade show lets visitors pre-schedule meetings at stands as soon as the list is released; in 2021, more than four hundred had been pre-scheduled.
• Ask the organiser about the programme: activities are put forward by partners and exhibitors, and the procedure is not published; in 2025, each talk pointed to a stand.
• Identify the regional relays: the port, development agencies and the Normandy energy sector shared a single stand in 2025.

For decision-making visitors

• Plan a cross-sector visit: the four trade shows share the same venue and the same hours, which means meeting suppliers from energy, chemicals, process and pharma-agro on the same day.
• Prepare your meetings as soon as the exhibitor list is released, filtering it by trade.
• Sort out your badge in advance: in 2025 it could be created free of charge online; the page was not yet open for 2027 at the time of writing, with entry still possible with or without an invitation.
• Come by train: the station is a five-minute walk from the Carré des Docks.
• Favour Wednesday for a long visit: it closes an hour later than Thursday.

CSR policy & initiatives

The LH Hub Global website has no Commitments section, no CSR policy and no measurement of the event's footprint, and the websites of the four trade shows publish none either. The subject is, however, very present in the content: Genead makes decarbonisation and the environment two of its three themes, and the programme announced in 2025 devoted several talks to port decarbonisation, the electrification of uses, hydrogen, bio-based chemistry and methane detection. That is programme content, not a commitment by the organiser.

At group level, SAS elféa does not publish a CSR programme. The agency, which also designs stands, describes its structures as "modular, adaptable and reusable" and writes that "Upcycling is at the heart of every project": a sales argument for its stand offering, not an initiative for the event. No ISO 20121 certification is displayed for the trade show.

The venue, by contrast, offers a commitment displayed by its operator. The Carré des Docks is managed by s.pass, a network of venues engaged in a CSR approach since 2019, broken down into twelve territorial, social and environmental commitments. The operator states that it has certified all of its sites to the ISO 9001 and ISO 20121 standards, the latter being dedicated to responsible event management. The certification covers the management of the venue, not the organisation of the trade show.

As for access, the trade show's practical information mentions the SNCF station and buses 9, 19 and C3; the venue's website adds the tram, whose "Gares" terminus is five minutes away on foot. No shared mobility scheme is announced by the organiser.

How the trade show has evolved

Trajectory analysis

LH Hub Global is the outcome of a gradual widening of scope. LH Pétro+Chimie, announced for 2020 "after 3 years of consultation and then fine-tuning", held its first edition in November 2021 at the Carré des Docks, with 186 exhibitors and 2,100 visitors. Genead moved in on the same dates in 2023, Industrissime in 2025 under the shared LH Hub Global name, and PharmaAgro completes the set in 2027. The venue itself has never changed.

The trade shows were added in this order: petrochemicals and refining first, then energy, then all industries and services, and finally pharmaceuticals, agri-food and cosmetics. According to the organiser, bringing these trade shows together answers "the joint demand of exhibitors and their customers". For a buyer or supplier active in several of these sectors, the four trade shows take place in the same place on the same dates. The possible downside is less visibility for each speciality, since the exhibitor nomenclature is shared by all four trade shows.

Volumes remain hard to track, for lack of any published results since 2021. The 221 registrations on the 2025 list, three trade shows combined, cannot be compared directly with the 186 exhibitors of the 2021 results, which covered only LH Pétro+Chimie. The two figures are not of the same nature (a final list of registrations, a published results report): no change in the exhibitor line-up can be drawn from them. In 2025, the presence of a collective stand bringing together the port, the development agencies and the Normandy energy sector does, however, signal a strong regional anchoring.

If the biennial rhythm holds, the next edition would fall in 2029; it had not been announced at the time of writing.
