A look at metalworking innovations, with some help from German engineers

EMO, a Hannover-Messe spinoff, is one of the world's leading trade fairs for production technology. Under the motto Innovate Manufacturing, it will showcase the entire metalworking value chain from September 22 to 26 this year.

This includes cutting and forming machine tools, manufacturing systems, precision tools, automated material flow, computer technology, industrial electronics and accessories. EMO takes place every two years and will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2025.

EMO says the event primarily stands for the following:

Innovation: As an innovation platform for metalworking, "it is a driving force and global leader when it comes to new products, manufacturing solutions and services."

Internationality: All market leaders worldwide from 45 countries exhibit at EMO. Trade visitors come from around 140 countries.

Inspiration: "No other trade fair presents the full breadth and depth of international manufacturing technology like EMO. Exhibitors and visitors with a high level of expertise discuss the megatrends in manufacturing, exchange ideas with representatives of international production research and develop solutions for existing challenges."
