Thousands of exhibits and four days of intensive product sourcing, networking and learning: the sheet metal processing industry is gearing up for EuroBLECH 2024, the benchmark event bringing together the world’s largest selection of sheet metal processing technologies under one roof. Reflected in this year’s show motto, “The Power of Productivity”, visitors can expect pioneering events at the heart of the industry, including priority access to leading suppliers, live demonstrations and world premieres. Visitor registration is now open, with additional ticket options for guided visitor tours and a special Career Day for up-and-coming talent.
Visitor registration is now open for EuroBLECH, the 27th international sheet metal processing technology exhibition, which will take place at the Hannover Fairground in Germany from 22-25 October 2024. It is the world’s largest sheet metal processing exhibition, covering the entire supply chain in 15 different technology areas across nine exhibition halls. This year’s focus is on productivity-enhancing technologies, showcasing the latest the market has to offer in terms of increasing output and efficiency whilst tailoring individual production processes to the complex demands of smart manufacturing.
The upcoming event will offer around 90,000 square metres of net exhibition space, providing direct access and networking opportunities with leading companies and SME suppliers from around the world, with more than 60 percent of exhibitors coming from abroad. Besides Germany, the main exhibiting countries in 2024 will be Italy, Turkey, China, Spain, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Taiwan, Poland, Belgium, Austria, India, France and the USA. The exhibition floor will feature a mix of well-known brands such as Adige, AIDA, Amada, Bystronic, Dimeco, Durma, Haco, LVD, Messer Cutting Systems, Pivatic, Prima Power, Salvagnini, Schuler, Thyssen, TRUMPF and Yamazaki Mazak, as well as highly specialised SMEs and first-time exhibitors showcasing their innovative strength in the market.
Exhibits cover everything related to the processing of semi-finished and finished products: metal sheets, tubes, profiles, plastic hybrids etc. Visitors will have ample opportunities to discover and acquire the latest technologies in stamping, punching, pressing, forming, cutting, joining, welding, fastening, handling, finishing, quality control, CAD/CAM/CIM, tools, machine parts, warehouse and workshop equipment, material recycling, research and development and much more.
Notably, over the past few years, technology suppliers have been actively working to future-proof the industry through innovation, efficiency and adaptability. “If change is coming so rapidly, we must come up with solutions even faster,” said Evelyn Warwick, Event Director at EuroBLECH, speaking on behalf of RX. “The integration of AI and machine learning is revolutionizing the industry, enabling unprecedented levels of precision and efficiency. Automation and robotics continue to advance, streamlining production processes and reducing manual labor, while the Internet of Things connects machines and systems for real-time monitoring and optimization. These innovations showcased at EuroBLECH this year highlight the industry’s commitment to meeting the growing demand for customization, sustainability and smart manufacturing.”
A unique tour where you can experience the power of productivity
The exhibition hall will host thousands of exhibits and supplier representatives, and the 2024 visitor experience will offer abundant opportunities to engage directly with innovation, including new guided visitor tours on “Automation and Robotics” and “Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)” to optimize production efficiency. In addition, the popular Speaker Forums will provide practical insight and knowledge on key current topics, such as “Automation, Robotics and Cobots” in Forum I and “Digitalization, Industrial Metaverse (AI, VR, AR, IIoT) and Cybersecurity” in Forum II. The prestigious EuroBLECH Awards will recognize five winners for their outstanding achievements in driving technological excellence and innovation. And Friday will again be Career Day, promoting young talent in the industry.
