The much-awaited IMTEX is finally back after a prolonged hiatus of 4 years. This year’s event called as the IMTEX, Tooltech & Digital Manufacturing 2023 will be organised at the sprawling halls of Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC), Bengaluru. It will once again be teeming with activities as representatives from various industry sectors meet machine tool manufacturers in the show that runs from 19 – 25 January 2023.
IMTEX which has a rich history of more than 50 years ranks among the world’s top ten shows in manufacturing. Held in an exhibit space of 70,000 square metres representing 750+ exhibitors from 20+ countries, IMTEX 2023 will showcase technologies that are most advanced solutions to challenges faced by industries and the supply chain.
Exhibitors from across the world will showcase new advances such as multi-tasking machining centres, tools, accessories, robots, cobots, manufacturing software, 3D printing solutions, evolving Industry 4.0 concepts, and many more. OEMs, suppliers, manufacturers, sourcing agents, investors, researchers, academia, and students, among others will be at the show to explore their requirements.
“IMTEX is an expression of a new India and represents what its machine tool industry is capable of. Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers’ Association (IMTMA) has always made efforts to bring new industry segments to the show and help technologies reach a wider section of industries. This enables self-development and help industries to manufacture products that can be accepted globally.”
