Stuttgart/Germany (AMB) – The focus for 2012 is on further internationalisation with regard to exhibitors and visitors – Accompanying programme to present current trends in the industry. More visitors, an increasingly international character, a top-quality accompanying programme: AMB 2012 has set its sights high. When it opens from 18 to 22 September 2012 in Stuttgart, it wants to surpass the great success of 2010. Then, over 1,300 exhibitors and more than 86,000 visitors came to the exhibition for metal working. “Registration has started and we are receiving requests for placements every day”, explains Sengül Altuntas, Project Manager for machine tools at AMB. No wonder, for the response to the last AMB was overwhelming, with regard to both exhibitors and visitors. There was talk of the best AMB of all time. “AMB has finally developed to become the leading European trade fair for the machine tool and precision tool industry in even years”, states Gunnar Mey, Project Manager for precision tools and peripherals, with confidence. The international character of the exhibitors was shown by the fact that 20 to 25 per cent came from abroad, while the proportion of foreign visitors increased from seven to eleven per cent. They came from 80 countries, a new record. And an indication that AMB is also gaining in importance internationally. The visitors from Germany and abroad were primarily from the mechanical engineering sector, followed by the metal working and processing industry, automobile industry/vehicle construction, tool construction and mouldmaking, as well as metal construction enterprises. At 38 per cent, the group of visitors working in manufacture and production was by far the largest. But also members of company management, developers, designers, planners and planning engineers were equally represented. They all found solutions at AMB for their manufacturing problems, and were able to gain a comprehensive overview of the status quo in metal-cutting processes and the associated precision tools. The main focus was on milling machines, lathes and automatic lathes, machining tools, chucking tools, CAD, CAM, CAE, software, grinding machines, workpiece and tool handling.
Fully booked halls are again expected at AMB 2012, with over 1,300 exhibitors on an exhibition area of 105,000 square metres. Top experts from the promotional supporter associations for AMB – the Precision Tools Association in the VDMA (German Engineering Federation), the VDMA Software Association and the VDW (German Machine Tool Builders' Association) – will ensure technical input. Furthermore, an immeasurable advantage for exhibitors and visitors is the location of Messe Stuttgart directly beside Stuttgart Airport and the A 8 motorway, the main route between Munich and Frankfurt.
