Tolexpo 2013 in Paris
FROM 19 to 22 November, the 5th edition
of TOLEXPO, the international show
for sheet metal, coil, tube and section
equipment, will be held at Paris-Nord
Villepinte Exhibition Centre.
In a difficult economic climate Tolexpo
has confirmed its position as a key event
entirely dedicated to sheet metal, coil,
tube and section equipment.
To date 200 exhibitors – including the
market leaders, the majority of foreign
manufacturers and new participants –
have confirmed their participation.
The organisers of Tolexpo,
Midest, the global sub-contracting
show, and Maintenance Expo, the
maintenance solutions show, are
continuing to work together in order to
create communication synergies and
boost their industry sectors.
Tolexpo & Midest & Maintenance
Expo: France’s industrial key event
bringing together 2,000 exhibitors and
50,000 professional visitors covering
the whole production chain, from cutting
to assembly through to final surface
treatment, not forgetting equipment
maintenance.
Building on initiatives implemented
since the show’s launch in 2005, Tolexpo
will again highlight the year’s new
products. This section will be available
on and will present
the new products offered by exhibitors
in advance of the show.
The pages, aimed at visitors looking
for new equipment, provide information
on the new products to be presented
at the show, allowing visitors to
optimise preparations for their visit
according to their specific interests.
They also promote industrial companies’
power to innovate. In 2011, no fewer
than 63 new products were premiered in
France at Tolexpo.
For the first time in its history, Tolexpo
has teamed up with Midest to offer
a schedule of business meetings.
The aim is to boost targeted meeting
opportunities for visitors and exhibitors.
