Hanover, 22th October 2018
EuroBLECH 2018, the 25th
International Sheet Metal Working Technology Exhibition, will open its doors
tomorrow at the Hanover Exhibition Centre in Germany. Until Friday, the 26th October
2018, a total of 1,507 exhibitors from 40 countries will present the latest
technologies along the entire sheet metal processing chain. With a net
exhibition space of 89,875 square metres, this year’s EuroBLECH has further
grown in exhibition space by 2,000 square metres, compared to the last event in
2016.
This year, 58% of exhibitors at
EuroBLECH come from outside Germany. The percentage of international exhibiting
companies has thus increased by a further 4%. Biggest exhibitor countries are
Germany, Italy, China, Turkey, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, Denmark, the
USA and Austria.
For this year’s 25th edition of
EuroBLECH, the main topics are Industry 4.0, big data and digitalisation. These
new trends and developments offer advantages in terms of new business
approaches, streamlined and less complex processes as well as improvement of
productivity and efficiency. Therefore, the organisers, Mack Brooks
Exhibitions, have chosen the motto ‘Step into the digital reality’ as the
overall theme of EuroBLECH 2018. Visitors can expect the most comprehensive
technology range in terms of industrial digitalisation of sheet metal working
at the show this year.
EuroBLECH, the industry sector’s
leading trade exhibition, presents the entire sheet metal working technology
chain, ranging from high tech systems to conventional machinery: sheet metal,
semi-finished and finished products, handling, separation, forming, flexible
sheet metal working, joining, welding and surface treatment, processing of
hybrid structures, tools, additive manufacturing, quality control, CAD/CAM/CIM
systems and R&D. The show attracts sheet metal working specialists at every
management level in small and medium-sized companies as well as in large
enterprises. Visitors include design engineers, production managers, quality
managers, buyers, manufacturers, technical directors and experts from
associations and R&D.
