The EMO Hannover organiser VDW (German Machine Tool Builders' Association) invited visitors to attend the major preview for the event in Frankfurt am Main on July 5 and 6.

Despite financial burdens and economic weaknesses, there is a halt in the downward trend of orders for German machine tools, particularly from abroad, driven by non-euro countries and large-scale orders. The industry is experiencing a reduction in difficulties due to factors like the end of China's zero-Covid policy and easing supply chain tensions.
Moulding Expo is this year’s most important trade fair for the European tool and mould making industry. The event offers an opportunity to come together to explore current trends and challenges. 400 exhibitors have registered, with more than a third coming from abroad.
The organiser of Grinding Hub, VDW (German Machine Tool Builders' Association), in cooperation with the Industry Arena business network, offers the grinding technology industry a top-tier platform under the 360°Special brand even in the years when no trade fair is held.
Orders for German machine tool manufacturers have held up well so far, despite all the adverse factors. Although the growth is clearly slowing, both September and the third quarter as a whole were positive, says Dr. Wilfried Schäfer, Executive Director of the German Machine Tool Builders' Association (VDW).
