Great anticipation among exhibitors about their new exhibition Over the past few weeks, the two Moulding Expo project managers, Florian Niethammer and Florian Schmitz, have repeatedly stressed the importance of "organising an exhibition based on the requirements of the exhibiting companies".
This is the only way the international event can really be implemented under the slogan "By the industry for the industry". Statements from some selected exhibitors already show they are looking forward to the first Moulding Expo. Moulding Expo in Stuttgart, which will take place from 5 to 8 May, is the première for a platform where leading companies in the tool-making, model-making and mould construction industry will present their expertise and products to international customers every two years. The full range of high technology the industry has to offer will be on show – from dies for injection moulding and casting to the latest developments in model-making and prototype construction or additive manufacturing (AM) processes. In Stuttgart visitors can also expect to see technology highlights from all the renowned suppliers and service providers in the industry. Besides customers of the tool, model and mould making industries – for example users from the automotive, medical engineering and plastics industries – Moulding Expo also targets designers, product developers and tool, model and mould makers themselves.
Over 20 per cent of companies exhibiting their innovations in Stuttgart come from abroad. At present, three exhibition halls, 4, 6 and 8, are already booked up with more than 390 exhibitors. By the beginning of May, it is expected that there will be more than 400 exhibitors and a total of 31,500 square metres will be fully booked.
