All positive at EuroBLECH

The 25th International Sheet Metal Working Technology Exhibition, EuroBLECH 2018, ended during October after four successful show days.

A total of 56,301 visitors from around the world came to Hannover to get an overview of the latest innovations and digital technologies for sheet metal working and to invest in new manufacturing machinery. A total of 1,507 companies from 40 countries exhibited at this year’s show.

“There was a great atmosphere at the show from both exhibitors and visitors alike,” enthused Evelyn Warwick, EuroBLECH exhibition director, on behalf of the organisers Mack Brooks Exhibitions. “There was a noticeable technological advancement within the last two years. Many exhibitors demonstrated how well the industry is prepared for digitalisation and how these new technologies can be used within a manufacturing environment.

“We are very pleased with the positive results of EuroBLECH 2018, which, compared to the previous exhibition, attracted a consistently high visitor number across the four show days from Tuesday to Friday. The show closes with a record floor space of 89,875m². Also, a total of 58% of exhibitors came from outside Germany at this year’s show which represents a 4% increase in international attendance.”

The preliminary results of the exhibition survey show that 37% of visitors came to EuroBLECH from outside Germany, resulting once again in good international visitor attendance. Major visitor countries, next to Germany, included Italy, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Spain, Turkey, India, Great Britain, Poland, Austria and Belgium.

The preliminary results of the exhibition survey also shows that both exhibitors and visitors were highly satisfied. Visitors praised the comprehensiveness and international range of the products on display as well as the quality of the exhibition stands and the many live demonstrations of digital processes.

The exhibitors praised the qualified and international audience with its high percentage of decision makers. More than 70% of all exhibitors stated onsite that they intended to exhibit again at the next EuroBLECH in 2020, which will take place from 27 - 30 October 2020 at the Hannover Exhibition Grounds in Germany.

In addition to EuroBLECH, Mack Brooks Exhibitions is organising a range of sheet metal working exhibitions in different markets: the next BLECH India will take place from 25 - 27 April 2019 in Mumbai; AsiaBLECH 2019 will be held in Chengdu City from 20 - 22 November 2019; and the first BLECH France is taking place from 21 - 23 January 2020 in Paris.
