Ever since its foundation in 1975, EMO has stood for innovation, internationality, inspiration and the future of metalworking worldwide.
Under the motto ‘Innovate Manufacturing,’ this year’s event is once again set to offer visitors the chance to establish international contacts, tap into new business opportunities and gain a comprehensive overview of the industry's global offering.
From machine tools, production systems, additive processes, precision tools and automation through to measuring technology, quality assurance, software and accessories, EMO is the only event to present the entire value-added chain for metalworking.
As such, it draws industrial trendsetters from across the globe – including mechanical engineering firms, automotive and aerospace engineering leaders, metalworking and metal processing firms, medical technology companies, energy suppliers and more.
During EMO 2025, almost 1,400 exhibitors from 35 different countries will present solutions to key industry challenges, including rising costs, the need for more skilled workers and the integration of new technologies – many of which will be on show at the event.
Across the five days, industry experts will also discuss the megatrends of automation, digitalisation, AI and sustainability, offering visitors the chance to consider developments that will affect them in the second half of this year and beyond.
"As the platform for business and discussions between all the international players in the industry – manufacturers and users – EMO is unique in the world," Dr. Markus Heering, Executive Director of the German Machine Tools Builders' Association (VDW), the organiser of EMO, told attendees at the pre-show presentation in London on May 13, 2025.
"Trade visitors at EMO come from all over the world. Every one of them is a potential customer. However, they come to EMO to obtain information on the latest range of machine tools, solutions and services worldwide, become acquainted with new suppliers and prospects, and initiate potentially new supplier relationships."
The show’s continued success speaks for itself, but its jam-packed schedule, range of technology on show, and the spotlight on a number of trends affecting the industry’s future, reaffirms that this is not a show to miss.
