Trade fairs and more
The machine tool industry supplies production technology for metalworking applications in all sectors and makes a crucial contribution towards innovation and productivity enhancement in the industrial sector. Its success is an important indicator for dynamism and performative capabilities of the economy, an indispensable motor for cyclical development and a significant driver of progress and technical innovation. We intend to continuously add new fairs and partners to the Club of Metalworking. We will keep you informed accordingly.
The EMO Hannover is the world’s most important trade fair for metalworking. As the world’s premier trade fair, it is unrivalled in the breadth and depth its offerings across all product areas of machine tools and production systems for cutting and forming as the nucleus that forms the heart of manufacturing, precision tools, accessories and controller technology, system elements and components for automated manufacturing up to linking devices and industrial electronics. And, it is absolutely the innovation forum for production technology. Since 1977, production experts from around the world have visited the EMO Hannover to bring themselves up to the state-of-the-art, to network and invest. The next EMO Hannover will take place from 22 to 26 September 2025.
GrindingHub is the new international centre for grinding technology and superfinishing. The trade fair’s focus is on all aspects of value creation in this technology area. Centre stage is taken by grinding machines, tool grinding machines and abrasives. All of the relevant software tools, the process periphery, and the measuring and testing equipment needed for QM processes relating to grinding are presented, keeping the entire production environment of grinding technology in view.
The internationally oriented trade fair starts with a hybrid concept. Accompanying the event and also between events, GrindingHub offers digital formats for match making, web seminars, conferences as well as the communication of current trends and innovations across all channels.
The next GrindingHub will take place in Stuttgart from 5 to 8 May 2026.
As the only specialist trade fair for production in north Germany, NORTEC covers the entire value added chain of metal processing. It has been a fixture in the calendars of local manufacturing companies and visitors from all over Germany alike for more than thirty years. For exhibitors, it is an indispensable opportunity to reach this part of the German industry in a compact format.
The next Nortec will take place in Hamburg from 3 to 5 February 2026.
