Germany — After four eventful trade fair days Metav 2022 closed its gates on the 24th of June. By Friday afternoon over 180 exhibitors attracted to the tune of some 3500 trade visitors. Around 22 percent came from abroad, mostly from Europe.

Germany — At the spring meeting of the VDMA Working Group Lasers and Laser Systems for Material Processing (WG Laser), members elected a new board for the next four years.

Metav 2022 from June 21 to 24 in Düsseldorf, Germany, is showcasing metrology solutions that provide users with powerful support as they embrace the digital transformation. The spectrum ranges from software apps through to fully automatic measurement assistants.

Automation is one of the most important ways in which manufacturing companies can raise their productivity levels and thus remain competitive. And many solutions are now easier to implement today than they were just a few years ago. Metav 2022 will reflect the major developments in this field.

Germany — Orders received by the German machine tool industry in the first quarter of 2022 were 44 percent up on the same period last year. There was a 44 percent increase in orders both from within Germany and from abroad.

Grinding Hub 2022 concluded, with the four-day event proving a major success, the organisers announced. Under the banner of “Brings solutions to the surface”, more than 370 exhibitors showcased their latest grinding technology innovations, products and solutions on almost 18,000 net square meters of exhibition space.
