Every other year, more than 100,000 metalworking profes- sionals worldwide flock to Chica- go for the International Manufacturing Technology Trade Show (IMTS). They’ll do so again September 10-15 as IMTS 2018, the country’s largest manufac- turing tradeshow with more than 1.3- million sq. ft. of exhibit space, takes over McCormick Place in downtown Chicago, IL.
The 32nd edition of the show, pro- duced by AMT—The Association for Manufacturing Technology, will focus on five leading manufacturing indus- tries: aerospace, automotive, medical, machine shop and power generation.
Attendees can discover more than 15,000 product and service innovations from more than 2400 exhibitors, encompassing machine tools, controls, computers, software, components, sys- tems and processes.
This year, for the first time, IMTS will run in conjunction with the Han- nover Messe trade show, the world’s leading trade show for industrial tech- nology. Hannover Messe, held annually in Hannover, Germany, draws manu- facturing-industry leaders from all over the world. Hannover Messe USA debuts as the pursuit of international partners becomes ever more important in the market.
“We now want to leverage the power of the Hannover Messe brand to speed up growth in our foreign markets,” says Deutsche Messe managing board chair- man Dr. Jochen Köckler, describing the show’s co-location with IMTS.
Specific industries, technologies and solutions will be grouped under 10 IMTS
