The International Manufacturing Technology Show 2018 will be held September 10 – 15, at McCormick Place, Chicago, Illinois, USA.
The fair continues to increase its appeal to international and domestic visitors by dedicating 12,000 m2 of exhibition space and display to HANNOVER MESSE USA. HANNOVER MESSE USA is organized and managed by Hannover Fairs USA (HFUSA), the U.S. subsidiary of Deutsche Messe, organizer of HANNOVER MESSE. IMTS is the premier and longest running manufacturing technology show in the Americas.
"Co-locating HANNOVER MESSE USA further diversifies the technologies that visitors can experience at IMTS 2018," says Peter R. Eelman, Vice President – Exhibitions & Business Development at AMT – The Association For Manufacturing Technology, which produces IMTS. "HANNOVER MESSE USA has increased its footprint by 44% and will feature approximately 500 exhibitors in the East Building. IMTS already attracts visitors from more than 110 countries, and co-locating HANNOVER MESSE USA further strengthens our international appeal."
"HANNOVER MESSE USA's trade shows will leverage the power of the HANNOVER MESSE brand by demonstrating the full range of Industry 4.0 and Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions during IMTS 2018," said Larry Turner, President & CEO of HFUSA. In addition, the show emphasizes technologies associated with predictive maintenance, more efficient use of raw materials, faster time to market and other trends in industrial manufacturing.
"We also expect to extend the overall scope and global nature of the co-located shows this year by highlighting more exhibitors from around the world in our international pavilions, including China, Germany, Italy, Korea and Taiwan," adds Turner.
HANNOVER MESSE USA has had a presence in the U.S. market since launching the industrial technology shows at IMTS 2012. In 2018, it will become a part of Integrated Automation, Motion & Drives USA (IAMD USA), North America's leading trade show for Integrated Automation, Industrial IT, Power Transmission and Control, and the fairs ComVac USA, Industrial Supply USA and Surface Technology USA.
