Most metalworking related companies opt to rather exhibit at the upcoming Machine Tools Africa 2017.
More than 850 local and international exhibitors from the mining, industrial, electrical and power industries showcased their products and services across a 38 000m² indoor and outdoor exhibition area of Electra Mining Africa 2016 held in September at the Expo Centre, in Johannesburg.
The exhibition attracted international visitors seeking out local products, machinery, services and technology with just over 29 000 visitors attending.
This year’s exhibition was the first one in many years where the traditional machine tools and metalworking related suppliers and services companies were not cohosted in an official format, although some local companies did take the opportunity to exhibit. This is because most of the metalworking related companies have opted to rather exhibit at the upcoming Machine Tools Africa 2017. This exhibition will also take place at the Nasrec Expo Centre, Johannesburg from 9 to 12 May 2017.
Machine Tools Africa 2017 will be unique in the sense that it will showcase live working machinery including milling, turning, metrology, tooling, laser cutting and other sheet metal and plate operations, to name but a few. The exhibition will also bring together the industry’s finest manufacturers across a range of technologies.
Visitors to Machine Tools Africa 2017 will include all those involved in machine tools across various sectors including general mechanics, machine tools, mining, manufacturing, automotive, metallurgy, paper/pulp, research and engineering, aeronautics, aerospace, railways, energy, electronics and IT.
