EuroBLECH 2022 — ‘the gateway to a smarter future’

The world’s leading trade exhibition for the sheet metal working industry, EuroBLECH, is returning after a four-year enforced hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic, and opens its doors from 25-28 October at the Hanover Exhibition Grounds in Germany (9 am-6 pm). A total of 1,300 exhibitors from 39 countries will showcase their latest ‘state of the art’ manufacturing solutions covering a total net exhibition space of 88,000m².

Reflected in this year’s theme ‘Your gateway to a smarter future’, EuroBLECH 2022 focuses
on intelligent solutions and the ongoing automation and digitalisation of the manufacturing chain to enable an increase in output and efficiency.

After the compulsory break, the sheet metal-working community is looking forward to doing business in person and on a large international scale once again. As the world’s leading exhibition for the industry, EuroBLECH 2022 provides the opportunity to finally catch up with the latest innovations that have been developed in the past few years as well as meeting with new and existing business contacts.

Evelyn Warwick, EuroBLECH event director, on behalf of the organiser Mack-Brooks Exhibitions, said: “Experiencing machines and systems in action, fostering business relationships and discovering what the future of sheet metal-working looks like — all live and in person — this is what EuroBLECH is about. Covering the entire sheet metal-working technology chain, exhibitors will present everything they have on offer to innovate and digitalise the manufacturing process.”

Major exhibitor countries are Germany, Italy, Turkey, China, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Poland, Austria, Portugal and the USA. In addition to the innovations and numerous live demonstrations at the exhibition stands, visitors can attend the launch of the new EuroBLECH 2022 Presentation Area (Hall 26, Stand L60), which will deliver around 20 sessions throughout the four-day exhibition offering an invaluable insight into innovative companies and projects, interesting discussions and networking opportunities. Attendance is free of charge to all registered exhibitors and visitors.

Both the EuroBLECH Exhibitor List tool and the Online Show Preview offer detailed information on the many exhibitors and products, are regularly updated and are available at the website (www.euroblech.com). The Exhibitor List tool helps users to effectively prepare their visit by finding the companies and products most relevant to them. The Online Show Preview provides an overview of the wide variety of innovations, technologies and systems on display at the event.

Digital transformation
The younger generation is increasingly gaining importance in the sheet metal-working industry
due to the digital transformation and the related changes to occupational profiles. In addition,
the last few years have been challenging to get a foot in the industry due to insufficient in
person events and networking opportunities.

Therefore, EuroBLECH will offer students the opportunity to visit EuroBLECH free of charge. On 28 October, students will be able to get free entry to the show when presenting a valid student ID at the entrance. During all other show days, students are invited to visit at a reduced price of 18 euros per day.

Meanwhile, the new EuroBLECH App for Android and iPhone is available to download via the App
Store. It includes an interactive area map and a function to search for exhibitors and user can plan their visit to the show. The App also contains further useful features for visitors.

EuroBLECH 2022 will be held in halls 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 26 and 27 at the Hanover
Exhibition Grounds. Entrance tickets for EuroBLECH 2022 are available via the online ticket shop at a discounted price or can be purchased on-site throughout the duration of the exhibition. International flight connections, as well as the excellent local infrastructure make the venue in Hanover easily accessible by plane, car and public transport.
