The early-booking phase for next year’s EMO Hannover ended on 15 October 2024, by which time more than 1,100 exhibitors from all over the world had registered. That is just over 10 percent more than at the same time in the run-up to EMO 2023. “Our attractive early-bird offer has clearly motivated companies to sign up, despite the challenging economic conditions,” says Dr. Markus Heering, Executive Director of EMO organizer VDW (German Machine Tool Builders’ Association). He is convinced that the wide-ranging services included in the price are particularly attractive to exhibitors.
At present, the exhibitors will be attending from 27 countries. The largest group, accounting for more than a quarter of all exhibitors, comes from the home market, Germany. Leading manufacturers such as Grob, Spinner, Index, Liebherr Verzahntechnik, DMG Mori, Paul Horn, Hermle and many more have already signed up. “At the EMO in September next year, we are of course expecting to see all the big-name international manufacturers return,” reports Heering. Germany is followed by China, Taiwan, Italy and Switzerland in the rankings of the largest exhibitor countries. These companies include well-known names such as Anca from Australia, Ficep from Italy, Mazak from Japan and Georg Fischer and Starrag from Switzerland.
At the last EMO in 2023, strict coronavirus restrictions held down the numbers of Chinese suppliers in particular. “Now, two years later, the Chinese are doing all they can to make a comeback on the international stage. As they say: “Being there is everything”, observes Martin Göbel, Head of Trade Fairs at the VDW.
