For almost five decades we have been following the manufacturing industry – its rapid development, its changing conditions, and new ways of working together and doing business.
Attracting 1,000 visitors in 1975, the trade fair is now an international meeting-place with more than 11 000 visitors and over 900 exhibitors from 30 different countries. An industrial hub and a window to the global market.
Together with the participants and the various industry representatives, over the years we have amassed a tremendous amount of experience of the industry and its business patterns – knowledge we are continuously weighing, evaluating and taking forward into new ideas, so that we can continue to contribute to the industry’s development.

The 2025 theme is "enabling industrial development", which nicely sums up the function of the fair and its obvious place as a business venue within the manufacturing industry.
