EMO Hannover 2019 in the Starting Blocks

The starting shot has been fired for EMO Hannover 2019. The invitation and registration documents for the world's leading metalworking trade fair are currently being sent out to 60 countries. These invitations are sent to every company in the world that has international business and connection with manufacturing machine tools, tools, components, software and automation for industrial production. EMO Hannover 2019, which will be held September 16-21, will provide a platform for innovative solutions, industrial applications and future technologies in the field of metalworking. 

Around 2,200 exhibitors are expected, well over half of them from outside of Germany. According to the organizers, EMO exhibitors have responded well to the early bird discount, which runs until October 15 this year.

Smart technologies driving production

The theme of EMO Hannover 2019 will be "Smart technologies driving tomorrow's production!" This shifts the focus onto the development and implementation of new Industry 4.0 functions. The special “IoT in Production” show, for example, will be presenting a range of solutions—from individual machines up to cloud-based systems. The theme will also be highlighted in a new area for individual control technology, software and automation technology exhibitors.

EMO Hannover—traditionally the largest innovation platform in the industry—will, however, also be showcasing the latest developments in the full range of metalworking machining processes, from additive manufacturing to metal cutting. EMO Hannover is aimed at international customers from the entire metalworking and processing industry such as the automotive and parts supply, mechanical and plant engineering, electrical and aerospace industries, plus fields such as medical technology and many others. Hannover will be the hotspot for all of these in September 2019.

In addition to the wide range of exhibitors, EMO Hannover also offers a wealth of special events, forums and conferences staged by the EMO organizer VDW (German Machine Tool Builders' Association), its business partners and numerous exhibitors. At the last EMO Hannover, the online calendar featured over 600 additional events. The overall program makes EMO Hannover an important networking and knowledge transfer trade show for production experts from all over the world.
