Continuous development into the world's leading trade fair for production technology

EMO Hannover at IMTS on why U.S. exhibitors and visitors should come to Hanover next year.

Orders received by the German machine tool industry in the second quarter of 2024 were 28 percent down on the same period last year. Orders from Germany fell by 13 percent whereas those from abroad dropped by 33 percent.

The digital registration documents for EMO 2025 are currently being sent out. The world's leading trade fair for production technology is set to celebrate its 50th anniversary at the next event, scheduled for 22 to 26 September 2025 in Hanover.

Last year, the German machine tool industry supplied around 27 percent of its production to the automotive industry and its suppliers, according to the latest customer structure survey conducted by the VDW (German Machine Tool Builders' Association) among its members.

Following the delivery difficulties, market lockdowns and logistics bottlenecks it experienced during the pandemic, the German machine tool industry is now looking intensively at how it can position itself more broadly on the global market. With its Innovations in Production Technology – German Machine Tools Symposium on 10 July 2024 in Kuala Lumpur, the VDW (German Machine Tool Builders' Association) helped its members gain a stronger foothold in new growth markets.
