EuroBLECH 2024 to Showcase ‘The Power of Productivity’

St Albans, UK and Hanover, Germany – EuroBLECH, the global flagship event on sheet metal working, is expecting a huge turnout this year. Spread over nine exhibition halls and covering more than 90,000 sq mt, this year’s event will be a unique opportunity to see the largest collection of sheet metal working technology in one place. Six months ahead of the show, over 90 percent of the available stand space has already been secured. New this year are the guided visitor tours, which showcase the top picks in productivity solutions to increase output and efficiency.

From October 22-25, 2024, the 27th International Sheet Metal Working Technology Exhibition, EuroBLECH, will open its doors again at the Hanover Exhibition Grounds in Germany. It is the world’s largest exhibition for sheet metal processing, covering the entire supply chain in 15 different technology sectors. Visitors can look forward to an impressive amount of live demonstrations and world premieres, giving them an opportunity to explore, assess, and discuss the benefits and gains of specific technology solutions for their own production process.

EuroBLECH 2024 will be occupying halls 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 26, and 27 at Hanover Exhibition Grounds, the world’s largest exhibition center. The uptake on stand space has been immense, in particular from international exhibitors, with more than 60 percent of exhibitors joining from outside Germany. As such, the show mirrors the global significance of the sheet metal sector in the wider economy. Besides Germany, the major exhibitor countries are Italy, Turkey, China, Spain, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Taiwan, Belgium, Austria, France, and the USA.

Live on the show floor: Smart machinery, tools and IT solutions

EuroBLECH provides numerous opportunities to watch innovative machinery live in action. It is worth noticing that more than a quarter of EuroBLECH visitors do not attend any other trade shows – they feel EuroBLECH already offers the best access to the broadest possible spectrum of tech suppliers, with exhibits covering literally anything to do with the processing of metal sheet, tubes, profiles, plastic hybrids, and other related applications. On display: stamping presses, CNC punching machines, press brakes, and other machines and tools for cutting, punching, and forming; joining; welding and fastening; surface treatment and finishing; process control and quality assurance; machine elements and components; CAD/CAM/CIM systems; warehouse and factory equipment; material recycling; and much more.

New for 2024: Guided Visitor Tours

For the first time, visitors will be able to book carefully curated visitor tours. Also reflected in this year’s motto for EuroBLECH, ‘The Power of Productivity’, the organized visitor experiences focus on productivity-enhancing technology. The tours will include 10-minute presentations at each stop, followed by a short Q&A session. There are two different tour options to choose from:

Tour 1 ‘Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)’ covers key topics such as big data, remote analysis, predictive maintenance, production monitoring, and part traceability. Participants will discover various products, tools, and software to help them plan, optimize, and monitor production with a view to improving their overall productivity, efficiency, and sustainability.
Tour 2 ‘Automation and Robotics for Efficient Production’ demonstrates how integrated, bolt-on or stand-alone automation and robotics systems can streamline production operations for greater sustainability and productivity, even for small batches. These can range from handling, sorting, conveyor, storage, and stacking systems to robots, co-bots, and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs).

Further information on how to book the Guided Visitor Tours will be published on the EuroBLECH website closer to the show.

EuroBLECH 2024 Speaker Forum for valuable insights

In addition to the innovations and numerous live demonstrations on the exhibition stands, attendees can benefit from the popular EuroBLECH 2024 Speaker Forum, two dedicated presentation theaters for expert talks and panel discussions. Sessions run on all four show days and offer exciting insights into the latest projects and product developments, as well as valuable networking opportunities and meaningful exchange amongst peers. The speaker agenda will be published closer to the show.
