The Taipei International Machine Tool Show (TIMTOS), the world’s third largest machine tool show, is set to take place from 6-11 March, 2023 at Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center Halls 1 & 2, and TWTC Hall 1 and will headline innovations and applications for the ‘metaverse’ and the electric vehicle industry.

In addition, other key themes for TIMTOS 2023 will be ‘green machine tools’, smart machinery, flexible manufacturing, and digital simulation. The exhibition will showcase a full line-up of hybrid events, including online and offline procurement matchmaking, live broadcasting, forums and seminars. Alongside the physical trade show, there will be an online exhibition which will run for one month.

TIMTOS 2023 will present a comprehensive metal processing ecosystem, from key components to smart manufacturing solutions. According to show organiser TAITRA, the show will also focus on the issue of low-carbon supply chains — smart solutions that integrate the concepts of digitalisation and carbon reduction.

Taiwan ranked third in the world’s machine tool exports in 2021 with total exports reaching $2.78 billion, a significant increase of 29.1% compared with 2020. More than 50% of this growth was recorded in Turkey, the Netherlands and Italy. Unsurprisingly, in anticipation of continuing global demand, Taiwan machine tool outputs will increase in the years to come, while supply chain restructuring has generated new business opportunities.

Booth applications for overseas exhibitors are available online from 26 April to 31 August. Due to the show’s popularity, booth applications will be conducted on a first-come, first-served basis.
