A pivotal event for the production technology sector
EMO, also known as the World Trade Fair for Machine Tools and Metalworking, has been a focal point for the metalworking industry since 1975. The international trade fair presents all the latest technologies and innovations across the entire value chain.
Trade visitors are the first to learn about robotics, automation, smart technologies, connected machines and the industrial Internet of Things in a professional setting. Whether it’s through guided tours or the many lectures and forums, you’re in the perfect place to generate interest in your products and make sales.

EMO is held once every two years towards the beginning of October and editions last for a total of six days, giving visitors and exhibitors the time to fully explore the exhibition and its offerings. What’s interesting about EMO is that it changes locations between Milan in Italy and Hanover in Germany. It’s staged in Fiera Milano City and Messe Hanover respectively. Organisers for the Italian editions are EFIM Ente Fiere Italiane Macchineand and VDW for the German editions.
The working hours are from 09:00 am until 18:00 pm, but these are subject to change due to opening and closing ceremonies as well as other programming items.
Both venues are well-positioned and connected to public transportation. Trade visitors have access to bus services and the underground to make their commute to EMO efficient in every way.
EMO is consistently a leader in the metalworking industry. The last edition saw more than 116,700 trade visitors coming from all over the world. There are professionals from 149 countries and just about half of all visitors are international in nature, which opens up exhibitors to many markets all at once. Speaking of exhibitors, there were 2200 exhibitors, roughly two-thirds of which arrived from 49 countries. The numbers really confirm that EMO represents the world of metalworking. Asia is becoming the market that’s strongly represented with 23% of all visitors travelling from an Asian country.
EMO is put together with the generous support of multiple organisations like AFM, CMTBA, Komma, MIB, MTA and VDI. Exhibitors are manufacturers and suppliers of tools and equipment for metalworking and other related products. Visitors represent a variety of sectors such as shipbuilding, the railway industry, aerospace and the automotive industry.

“Digitalization in Machine Tool Manufacturing – Thinking Ahead!’ That was the motto for our appearance at EMO 2019 in Hannover.
