REVIEW:
WITH WIELAND AT LIGHT + BUILDING 2026
Thank you to all visitors!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR VISIT
AT LIGHT + BUILDING 2026
Light + Building 2026 in Frankfurt is behind us – and we look back on intensive and inspiring days at the trade fair. The focus was on future-proof installation solutions for commercial buildings, modular construction concepts, and the growing demands related to electromobility.
At our booth, we demonstrated how increasing requirements for efficiency, scalability, and technical infrastructure can be implemented economically and in compliance with standards using pluggable systems.
A big thank you to everyone who visited us on site. For those who couldn’t attend, we’ve summarized the key insights and highlights for you.
IN FOCUS:
THE FUTURE OF INSTALLATION
“The Light + Building 2026 has clearly shown that the demand for scalable, efficient, and future-proof installation solutions is growing significantly. Our pluggable systems offer clear advantages and are attracting strong interest, particularly in the areas of commercial buildings and electromobility.”
Robert Gerhäußer

PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
For us, pluggable means: systems that work together seamlessly. Installations completed faster. And solutions that remain flexible — today and tomorrow.
RST® NRG FLAT CABLE SYSTEM
The RST® NRG flat cable system enables structured, plug-in power distribution for the efficient integration of electrical loads — ideal for flexible installations as well as infrastructure and outdoor applications. Pre-assembled cable assemblies support fast installation and modular expandability.
RST® DIRECT DEVICE CONNECTION
RST® DIRECT enables the direct, permanent connection of luminaires and electrical devices — without opening the device and without conventional plug connectors. The result: maximum sealing, high operational reliability, and a permanently protected device interface combined with simple, standards-compliant installation.
SYSTEM SOLUTIONS
For us, 50 years means understanding the market. Developing sustainable system solutions together with customers and partners. And continuously evolving — because requirements, technologies, and framework conditions are constantly changing.
SERIAL CONSTRUCTION
Our plug-in electrical installation systems integrate easily, safely, and efficiently into industrial prefabrication processes. Thanks to the plug-and-play concept, electrical infrastructure can be installed faster, standardized reliably, and flexibly adapted to serial and modular building concepts.
EV CHARGING
With podis®, we offer a scalable solution for fast, secure, and flexible charging infrastructure. Decentralized power distribution enables efficient installation, easy expansion, and reliable energy supply for electric vehicle charging in modern buildings.
BSD BIM
Plan electrification precisely within the digital building model. With the Building Solutions Designer (BSD), electrical infrastructure can be developed directly within the BIM process. The tool supports cross-trade planning, improves transparency at an early stage, and transforms complex requirements into reliable, buildable solutions.
PARTNER NETWORK
For us, reliability means systems that last. Partners who move forward together. And solutions that work today — and remain relevant tomorrow.
RELIABLE – STRONG PARTNERSHIPS
Safety and reliability emerge when systems truly fit together. At Light + Building 2026, we demonstrate how durable, standards-compliant building solutions are enabled through coordinated system partnerships. Our partner ecosystem represents proven quality, technical precision, and system integration you can rely on long term.
A CONTINUOUSLY GROWING NETWORK
More than 50 manufacturers already integrate their products based on plug-in Wieland systems — creating a seamless infrastructure for modular electrical installation. The ecosystem continues to grow: more and more manufacturers are adopting plug-in systems, actively driving the shift towards modular, open installation concepts.
