EMO Hannover will be opening its doors
from 16 to 21 September 2013. At the world’s
premier trade fair for the metalworking sector,
international manufacturers of production
technology will, under the keynote theme of
“Intelligence in Production”, be showcasing
their products, solutions and services
relating to metal as a material.
By the end of June, around 2,030 companies
had registered. On a net exhibition area of
over 177,600m², they will be showing the
international trade visitors how they can best
meet and master the challenges they face in
the production process.
Around 60 per cent of the exhibitors come not
from Germany, but from 39 other countries.
Reflecting its leading status in terms of
technology, Europe, with more than 1,500
exhibitors, is the most heavily represented
region. Around a fifth, more than 430 firms,
however, are arriving from Asia alone.
“For every machine tool manufacturer who
wants to do business on the international
scene, participating in the EMO Hannover
is an absolute must,” said EMO general
commissioner Carl Martin Welcker.
