Great demand for stand space at AMB 2010 – Large number of renowned companies to take part in the exhibition again – Requests for larger stands Good omens for AMB 2010. Around 14 months before the start of the exhibition, more than 600 exhibitors have already registered and 65 per cent of the exhibition space have been firmly booked.
A promising issue “We are currently not seeing any noticeable caution among our exhibitors regarding registration”, said Sengül Altuntas, Project Manager for Machine Tools, “on the contrary, some exhibitors actually want to increase the size of their stand”. There is a similar situation in the precision tool and peripheral equipment sections. “The precision tool section is already fairly well filled”, enthused Gunnar Mey, the Project Manager responsible for this exhibition segment. The prospects for AMB; which will be held from 28 September to 2 October 2010, therefore appear to be outstanding. Machine tools and precision tools are the focal points in the portfolio of the most important industry exhibition in Germany after EMO. However, AMB also features products and machines from the areas of quality assurance, robots, workpiece and tool handling technology, computer systems and peripherals, parts, components and accessories.
Confidence for 2010 Messe Stuttgart expects that AMB will repeat its success from 2008 and will also be fully booked up next year. 1,300 exhibitors would then again take part and every exhibition hall (total gross area: 105,000 square metres) would be occupied. Due to the uncertain economic situation at present, however, it is very difficult to make any long-term forecasts. Nevertheless, the continuing high level of interest in AMB gives grounds for hope. There is a positive mood among the companies which have already registered – both among manufacturers of machine tools and precision tools, the two main sections of AMB. Manufacturers of precision tools and machine tools are hoping that the economic situation will improve in the second half of 2010. The promotional supporters of AMB 2010, i.e. the Precision Tools and Software Groups in the German Engineering Federation (VDMA) and the German Machine Tool Builders’ Association (VDW), are aware of the importance of the exhibition and are hoping that AMB 2010 will take place in better economic conditions and will again be a success.
