With its motto “Time for Innovation”, this year’s EuroBLECH will focus on cutting-edge technologies and sophisticated solutions. The exhibiting companies will present a wide variety of machines, systems, tools and materials in halls 11,12,13,14,15,16 and 27 at the Hanover exhibition grounds. Innovations for the future of sheet metal working and live demonstrations of new machines and systems will be a major focus of the show. Intelligent solutions for energy-saving, environmentally sustainable production; for enhanced fabrication processes to adapt to changing demand; new materials as well as the latest trends in R&D will be on display.
“The current booking status seems to reflect that the sheet metal working industry is slowly recovering from the economic crisis. Today, a good four months ahead of the show, 1,280 exhibitors from 40 countries have already booked over 77,000 square metres net in exhibition space. EuroBLECH 2010 is, therefore, very likely to match or even surpass the figures of the very successful 2006 show,” says Nicola Hamann, Exhibition Director EuroBLECH on behalf of the organisers Mack Brooks Exhibitions.
The previous two exhibitions have both been record events for exhibitor and visitor numbers: 1,409 exhibitors and 64,300 visitors attended the 2006 show. The 2008 event attracted 1,520 exhibitors and 69,400 visitors; 44.5% of the exhibitors and 35% of the visitors at that show came from outside Germany.

“EuroBLECH 2010 will again be a highly international trade exhibition, with 45% of the exhibiting companies coming from outside Germany. Visitors can look forward to being part of an industry event which offers the greatest possible choice of what is available on an international scale: the latest products and services for sheet metal working, from global players as well as from small specialist suppliers from all parts of the world,” comments Nicola Hamann.
Sheet metal working specialists, such as designers, buyers, production specialists and quality managers, will find the complete sheet metal working technology chain at EuroBLECH 2010: sheet metal, semi-finished and finished products, handling, separation, forming/flexible sheet metal working, joining/welding and surface technologies. Tools, process and quality control systems, CAD/CAM applications plus research and development complete the product range. Exhibitors also include suppliers of sheet metal parts as well as subcontractors.
