The world’s leading trade fair in the metalworking sector, EMO Hannover, will be held from September 18 to 23 in Germany.

It is expected to attract 1,700 manufacturers from more than 40 nations and territories.

At the fair, which this year will have the theme “connecting systems for intelligent production,” exhibitors will showcase products, solutions and services for mastering the challenges involved in industrial production operations.

Christoph Miller, trade fair director of the German Machine Tool Builders Association, said manufacturers would bring technologies ranging from simple, sturdy and affordable to high-priced high-tech.

Both stand-alone machines and concatenated systems would be on show, plus transfer lines and large machines, featuring a high degree of automation, he said.

According to the organisers, the fair will offer Vietnamese companies a good opportunity to look for partners as the country has been importing 100 per cent of its metal production technology needs. — VNS
