Considered as one of the biggest exhibitions in the manufacturing industry, IMTEX 2017 commenced at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC). The 18th edition of the exhibition also marks the completion of 10 years of BIEC. The 19th edition of Tooltech is also being held concurrently.

IMTEX 2017 is being held in six halls at BIEC covering a gross area of 66,000 square metres. A newly- constructed hall of 17,500 square metres was inaugurated on the opening day of the exhibition.

Exhibitors from 22 countries (Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, China, Czech Republic, France, Germany, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Serbia, Singapore, Spain, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, The Netherlands, United Kingdom and United States) are participating in the seven-day exhibition.

“Visiting one IMTEX is equal to visiting many countries for sourcing new technologies. We are optimistic that IMTEX 2017 will not only meet but also exceed customer expectations. India has initiated several policies to benefit manufacturing sector and Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers Association (IMTMA) believes that IMTEX 2017 will help immensely in bridging the technology gaps, creating new capacities and accelerating technology acquisitions and improving skill levels,” IMTMA President, Mr. P. G. Jadeja said.

For sectors such as auto components, automobiles, aerospace, defence, railways, power, capital goods, consumer goods, space technologies and various others the show will open windows to witness and learn future technologies in metal cutting machine tools. With Make in India initiative gathering pace manufacturing has come into spotlight once again and IMTEX 2017 will serve as a catalyst to push this further.
