Euromold
The World Fair for Mouldmaking and Tooling, EuroMold, is set to sharpen its focus on the international industry this November 24th-28th.
Organisers have announced the four-day show, which is held annually at the Messe in Frankfurt, is a truly global event, with a particularly strong showing of non-German countries signing up for their EuroMold debut.
Some 1,000 exhibitors from 32 countries will meet around 50,000 international visitors from every corner of the industry, with visitors expecting the proportion of foreign visitors to be around 50 per cent.
Moreover, as things stand, organisers have said there will be around 40 first-time exhibitors from Germany and 60 first-time tooling, mouldmaking and rapid prototyping exhibitors from abroad represented. The majority of foreign exhibitors making their inaugural EuroMold appearance are from Portugal, with strong representation from the UK, the Netherlands, France and China.
Eberhard Döring, Manager of the EuroMold trade fair, commented: "In contrast, other trade fairs that have a national focus bring together mainly German exhibitors and visitors, by no means displaying state-of-the-art technology and failing to offer these numerous opportunities to establish business contacts around the world that can be found at EuroMold."
Mould- and toolmaking is the largest industrial sector represented at the trade fair, followed by rapid prototyping and tooling, and the accessories and peripheral devices manufacturing sectors. Alongside these, representatives from other areas of the process chain are anticipated to exhibit, for example, engineering, design, machine tooling and software organisations.
Döring continued: "Within a global market, it is apparent that German companies enter new markets with international partners. In this regard, EuroMold serves as the world’s only platform that has been established within its field for several years and can offer an incomparably broad variety of international companies from the entire industrial process chain. Once again in 2014, companies will benefit from our international orientation within the global market."
