New exhibition manager for the FMB Bad Salzuflen

FMB Alexander Petrush14.02.2023 | Alexander Petrush has been in charge of the FMB in Bad Salzuflen as the new Head of Events since February 1, 2023. His goal is to strengthen the profile of the regional trade and industry fair. Trade fair organizer Easyfairs, with German locations in Munich, Stuttgart and Bielefeld, is bringing an experienced trade fair expert on board in Alexander Petrusch.

The native Hanoverian is already since 1998 active in the trade fair and event business. Last time he was with Harting responsible for the DA-CH region as Manager Fairs & Events. The 47-year-old previously worked for various agencies and service providers to take care of Deutsche Messe AG events in Hanover.

In addition to extensive experience in particular with Industrial fairs Mr. Petrusch knows the mechanical engineering region East Westphalia-Lippe (OWL) very good: "The FMB has an important position as a communication platform for mechanical engineering and its suppliers far beyond OWL. This position needs to be expanded - with new ideas, new focal points and additional offers, together with our partners such as OWL Maschinenbau, the top cluster it's OWL and with the exhibiting companies. There is great potential here.”

Alexander Petrusch would like to implement this task step by step with the FMB team in Bielefeld. They should too Easyfairs resources Group, which organizes around 200 trade fairs throughout Europe every year.

Satisfied exhibitors and visitors in Bad Salzuflen

24.10.2022/17/XNUMX | All in all, according to the organizers of the fair, the XNUMXth FMB is important as Labor and Network Fair for mechanical engineering in the northern half of Germany. Christian Enssle, Head of Cluster FMB of the trade fair organizer Easyfairs: "We hear from many quarters that very concrete and result-oriented talks took place at the stands." 

The satisfaction of the exhibitors is also evident from the fact that many booked their stand for 2023 during the trade fair. Then the subcontracting fair will be back as usual in the second week of November from 08. until 10.11.2023 . held

Machine builders and suppliers with a lot to talk about in 2022

FMB Christian Enssle

09.10.2022 | At the FMB - Supplier Fair for Mechanical Engineering 2022, there is more than enough to talk about and the need for information between machine builders and the supplier industry, especially in the two subject areas Supply chains and digitization.

The supply chain problems are red hot. There are missing parts wherever you look. Even if there are signs of slight improvements in some areas, the majority of companies are working on broadening their supply of vendor parts and materials. "The FMB offers visitors a good opportunity to explore new avenues in the supply chain," announced Christian Enßle. “Several hundred mechanical engineering suppliers will present their range of products and services. The fact that almost everyone comes from Germany and neighboring countries fits in with the trend to make supply chains as simple and short as possible.”

Showing new ways in the search for suppliers Trading houses and distributors that bundle the product range of many manufacturers. “They also present themselves at the FMB platform provider, which bring supply and demand together, e.g. for laser parts, turned and milled parts or 3D printed components,” says Mr. Enssle, pointing out another group of exhibitors.

The second major focus is digitization. Products, solutions and offers for the Smart Factory give to see. The top cluster it's OWL presents practical cooperation projects and findings from research work and the Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Ruhr OWL provides information about its consulting program for medium-sized production companies.

The demand for slots for the lecture program shows the interest in the topic. “Originally, Thursday was intended as a theme day for 'digitization in industrial production'. But we received so many inquiries that this topic will also be the focus of the lectures on Wednesday afternoon," says Christian Enssle.

New suppliers and practical examples of digitization

FMB2022


24.08.2022/XNUMX/XNUMX | "There is hardly a machine builder who is not suffering from the strained international supply chains," assumes Christian Enssle, Head of Cluster FMB at the trade fair organizer Easyfairs GmbH. "According to a current VDMA survey 83% of the companies are currently pursuing the goal of expanding their supplier network.” So when the FMB subcontracting fair starts on October 12, 2022, many visitors will be looking for contact with new subcontractors. 

Here comes the FMB fair At the right moment. Several hundred qualified mechanical engineering suppliers will present their products and range of services in Bad Salzuflen. They cover the entire value chain thematically. They offer the potential to optimize the supply chain as an alternative or secondary supplier.

Visitors can reach their destination quickly and get to know as many potential suppliers as possible if they initiate contacts in advance. There are for that B2B matchmaking platform. “Registered trade fair visitors simply register on the platform, enter a profile with their specific needs or offers and look at the profiles of other participants. If the profile fits the need, they book an appointment and receive a meeting schedule before the show. In this way, they can organize their visit to the trade fair efficiently,” says Mr. Enssle, describing the procedure.

Lecture program 3D printing, AI, safety and more

The time gained can be used for forays into the trade fair and creates space for one attending the lectures. These address central technology issues such as digitization. Exhibitors are supporting their customers with new solutions, which they will report on in detail on the second day of the fair. Topics such as AI and 3D printing are also on the agenda.

In the lecture program of the first day under the main topic Productive machines – but safe it's about safety and security. The third day will be organized by the top cluster it's OWL. The topic is Industry 4.0 cooperation projects. This year, the Mittelstand-Digital Zentrum Ruhr OWL will also give lectures. This state initiative provides insights from the top cluster for small and medium-sized companies.

FMB 2022 brought forward due to PLC overlap 

20.04.2022/2022/XNUMX | The FMB - Subcontracting Fair for Mechanical Engineering XNUMX, will take place from the second week of November postponed to October 12-14. The reason for this is the new scheduling of the SPS – smart production solutions trade fair on the date on which the FMB was previously supposed to take place.

Christian Enßle, Portfolio Manager FMB at Easyfairs GmbH: “There are major overlaps in content between the PLC – smart production solutions as a leading international trade fair and the FMB as a showcase for the northern half of Germany - especially in the areas Electrical Engineering and Control Technology, drive technology and automation technology.

These are the core areas of the SPS and about a third of the FMB exhibitors are directly or indirectly active in these technical fields. Many well-known suppliers exhibit at both trade fairs, and we would like to make this possible for them again this year - not least because world market leaders in automation and control technology are at home here in OWL and the trade fair thanks to the Leading-Edge Clusters it´s OWL can also offer a glimpse into the future of digitization.”

Luckily, the Bad Salzuflen trade fair was able to this good alternative date to offer. Christian Enssle: “We believe that exhibitors and visitors alike will benefit from bringing the event forward to the 'golden October'. Exhibitors have the opportunity to be present at both trade fairs. A larger range of automation, drive and control technology is presented to the visitors. This is what completes the picture of the supplier industry in mechanical engineering, especially since these are innovation drivers in terms of digitization.”

In 2023, the trade fair is scheduled to take place again in the second week of November 08. to 10.11.2023 . held

FMB organizer draws a positive conclusion 

FMB 2021 graduation


16.11.2021 | At the end of the FMB - the supplier fair for mechanical engineering, the organizer Easyfairs draws a positive conclusion. Christian Enßle, Head of Cluster FMB: “In the weeks leading up to the fair, many exhibitors decided relatively spontaneously to participate. There were only a few cancellations at very short notice, but as a result we are more than satisfied with 416 exhibitors at 328 stands. "

The visitor side is also very satisfied: There were many more short-term registrations. Lots of 3328 trade visitors have only registered the day before. The conclusion of the exhibitors and visitors is also positive: “We received consistently positive feedback. The quality of the discussions held was of a high level. It was really high time that machine builders and suppliers were given a platform for personal exchange and discussions about projects, ”Mr. Enßle sums up

Additional offers like The lecture program and B2B matchmaking were well attended. The economic prospects for mechanical engineering in North Rhine-Westphalia are good, as Hans-Jürgen Alt, Managing Director of the VDMA NRW, knows: “This year, sales of € 44,0 billion will probably be just under those of the pre-crisis year 2019 (€ 44,2 billion ) reach. For 2022 we anticipate a nominal increase in sales of 5% to € 46,2 billion. ”This includes the ongoing distortions in the supply chains:“ The classic indicators such as capacity utilization and order backlog indicate an even higher increase - but we do are careful. "

Even during the FMB in Bad Salzuflen, the trade fair team already had many bookings for the FMB 2022 accepted.

Register now for the FMB in Bad Salzuflen 

Register FMB10.10.2021/10/2021 | On November XNUMX, XNUMX, the time has come: The FMB - the supplier fair for mechanical engineering starts again with its platform for the Exchange between machine builders and suppliers. The trade fair is even more important this year, because in the last year and a half there has been a lot of demand for information and discussion. In addition, the suppliers have developed innovations that users are now looking for.

Short distances, free parking spaces directly at the exhibition halls and the free catalog make visiting the exhibition as easy as possible. The hygiene-related rules are new this year. This includes the free registration in advance on the exhibition homepage. It is mandatory to avoid waiting times at the entrance.

Corona proof is also required after the 3G principle (Vaccinated, recovered or tested). The contact is then tracked on site via the Easygo system, which the visitor receives with his admission ticket. He can also use this to leave his contact details on the exhibitor's reader without contact.

Christian Enßle, Head of Cluster FMB, is looking forward to the trade fair: “The detailed planning is also in place, including the lecture program. In addition to smaller new exhibitors from all areas of the supplier industry, visitors can expect globally established exhibitors such as Beckhoff, Igus, NORD, Omron, Pepperl & Fuchs, Schneider Electric, SEW Eurodrive and Siemens. We are looking forward to a diverse and stimulating trade fair - and to being able to offer the industry the opportunity for extensive exchange after a long dry spell. "

Preparations for FMB 2021 on the home stretch

17.09.2021/XNUMX/XNUMX | According to Christian Enssle, Head of Cluster FMB at Easyfairs Deutschland GmbH, nothing stands in the way of the long-missed personal exchange between machine builders and their suppliers: "Our hygiene concept is certified and proven. We offer tools such as the contactless transmission of contact data with our Smart Badge and a B2B matchmaking for specific meetings at the fair. " 

Arrange appointments in advance with the B2B Matchmaking

FMB match markingWhen the 10th FMB - supplier fair for mechanical engineering starts on November 2021, 16, many exhibitors will already fixed appointments with visitors in the exhibition center that they are not yet aware of. B2B matchmaking offers this possibility. It was organized together with the partners NRW.Bank, Zenit GmbH and Kreiswirtschaftsförderung Lippe.

And this is how B2B matchmaking works: Exhibitors and visitors register on the matchmaking platform at www.fmb-messe.de. There you save a profile with your specific offer and / or need. At the same time they look at the profiles of the other participants on the platform. If the profile fits your needs, book the person you want to talk to. You will then receive an individualized schedule with meetings. These appointments take place every 20 minutes in a designated exhibition area.

B2B matchmaking was already part of the previous FMB's offer. This year it offers an additional advantage, as Christian Enßle, Head of Cluster FMB knows: “Exhibitors and visitors can have one Make a preselection and thus not only make the trade fair visit more efficient, but also reduce the number of contacts. "

Outlook on the lecture program

FMB lecture program10.08.2021/XNUMX/XNUMX | The lecture program for the second day of the fair was quickly booked out. Mr. Enssle sees this as a sign of how big it is Need for communication is in the industry. “The first trade fairs are now taking place on a regional basis, for example the All about automation of our colleagues. We have also already started the detailed planning. "

But it was certainly also due to the topic of second day of the fair: "Digitization in industrial production - the next steps" literally affects every production company. Suppliers and service providers have developed new solutions here to support their customers.

The lecture topics cover the entire value chain from the Product development with new tools and supplier products to the maintenance of machines with digital twin up to new ones communication technology in production and distribution with HoloLens and Artificial intelligence. The diversity of the lecture program reflects the bandwidth of the FMB exhibitors.

The lectures on first day of the fair deal with the Surface Technology. “The topic itself is by no means new for the fair. But with their own focus, the companies get a higher visibility and an improved platform for how they present their machines and services, for example in the areas of painting, coating, corrosion protection, grinding, cleaning, etc. In doing so, we are also emphasizing the importance of this supplier industry for mechanical engineering, ”comments Christian Enßle. Current trends in heat treatment with multi-process systems, when grinding with Robotsupport and with the parts cleaning presented sustainably and efficiently on an aqueous basis.

The lecture program on third day of the fair traditionally designs it's OWL. The participants get an insight into current Industry 4.0 projects of the Leading-Edge Cluster. 

The who's who of drive technology

FMB drive technology01.07.2021 | Both mechanical drive components full-range suppliers are represented such as G&G Antriebstechnik or gear manufacturers such as Euronorm, Nidec Graessner, NORD, SEW and suppliers of couplings such as Mayr, Vulkan and linear technology specialists such as Hepcomotion, Hiwin, Igus, Neff, Nippon Thompson, RK Rose & Krieger. 

During the electrical Drive Technology present manufacturers of electric motors and frequency converters like Heidrive, KEB, Nord and SEW their new products. 

The Compressed air technology is z. B. represented by D&N and hydraulics by HBE and S & Ü. 

The range of other well-known manufacturers of drive components and systems such as Gates, NSK, Schaeffler, Siemens, SKF and many more will be on the stands of Distributors and industrial equipment suppliers z. B. presented at Hausmann & Hänsgen or Werthenbach.

The drive technology in mechanical engineering is growing today with the overriding control and Automation services together. The trade fair takes this trend into account because automation traditionally forms a trade fair focus. Worldwide leading companies from OWL such as Beckhoff and Weidmüller will be on site, as well as those from other regions such as KEB and Schneider Electric.

Strengthen supply chains, optimize procurement

19.05.2021/XNUMX/XNUMX | A tremendous jolt is going through the international supply chains. raw materials such as B. plastics or high-tech products like Semiconductor become scarce and expensive. The freight rates in Asia-Europe traffic rise so much that the higher transport prices are now compensating for the lower production costs. In a current survey by the Ifo Institute for Economic Research, 45% of the companies questioned complain about difficulties in the procurement of preliminary products. That is the highest value in the past 30 years.

Many mechanical engineers are now analyzing their supply chains and the risks in procurement. It will Second supplier established and regional suppliers preferred in order to keep the supply chains short. The FMB trade fair will offer the right platform for this task from November 10th to 12.11.2021th, XNUMX.

“The trade fair was created in 2005 with the aim of networking machine builders and their suppliers in the region,” says Christian Enßle. “Since then, the catchment area for exhibitors and visitors has expanded considerably, but the basic idea remains: The FMB is not one international shopping platform. She lives on personal contact the mechanical engineering company with the suppliers - both at the trade fair and in the projects that are initiated and agreed upon during the trade fair discussions. "

There is a lot of catching up to do here. The organizers are working towards organizing a trade fair that is as successful as it is safe. Christian Enßle: “Virtual trade fairs cannot completely replace that which ultimately defines trade fairs. Personal conversations, exchanges among experts, unexpected suggestions - that is possible ´live´ best. We create the platform for this and make it as easy and safe as possible for exhibitors and visitors to come together again. "

Surface technology service providers introduce themselves

FMB fair surface technology


12.04.2021/XNUMX/XNUMX | “We have noticed that more and more exhibitors, above all Surface engineering services offer - whether exclusively or as part of their portfolio. Now you get a better platform for your trade fair presence and we also target new, potential exhibitors, ”comments Christian Enßle, Head of Cluster FMB. “Every machine manufacturer uses surface technology processes in some way, for example to protect machine components from corrosion or to apply functional coatings. It is therefore only logical that we give this area the attention that corresponds to its actual importance in the supplier industry. "

And so the FMB will be the new focus in 2021 Surface Technology added. This means that the trade fair covers the spectrum of the supplier industry even more completely. This applies to both the “hardware” of mechanical engineering and the services, which are also becoming increasingly important at the trade fair. 

The FMB fair has several Target groups in view such as manufacturers of systems for painting and powder coating, suppliers of consumables such as bathroom chemicals or peripherals such as filter and exhaust air systems. There are also numerous service providers in the extended region, from corrosion protection, painting and powder coating to sophisticated processes such as plasma coating.

“The spectrum here is large, the providers are highly qualified, but the market is confusing. We want to create visibility and also in this area of ​​the supplier industry Bringing supply and demand together“, Says Christian Enßle.

This current more than 30 exhibitors now get an improved platform to show their performance. Christian Enßle: “We are counting on the fact that we will be able to win additional surface technology specialists as exhibitors with this offer. That fits precisely to the customer base of many contract coaters and system manufacturers. Therefore, surface technology will also be the main topic of the lecture program on the first day of the fair. "

FMB looks to the autumn of 2021

25.01.2021 | How will the trade fairs and industrial fairs in autumn 2021 be designed? Nobody knows at the moment how exactly they will take place this year. The "makers" of the FMB trade fair under the umbrella of Easyfairs are already working on a concept for the mechanical engineering supplier fair, which will take place at the beginning of November. It will be prepared for any eventuality. 

"One thing is certain: the possibility of direct exchange between machine builders and their suppliers is sorely missed by both sides," says Christian Enßle. "Our goal is to make this exchange possible in November 2021 - safely and efficiently."   

That is one component of the concept Matchmaking in the run-up to the fair: exhibitors and visitors can reduce their contacts at the fair if they find the right company in advance and arrange to meet up.

B2B matchmaking will be retained

Therefore, the B2B matchmaking, which was offered for the first time last year, will be part of the fair again this year. With a common statement the three partners explain their motivation to bring mechanical engineers and suppliers together at the FMB trade fair: "Mechanical engineering in Ostwestfalen-Lippe is a key industry that is visible and strengthened as such by the annual trade fair in Bad Salzuflen. Export and innovation are important factors for the continued successful work of the mechanical engineering companies in East Westphalia-Lippe and North Rhine-Westphalia. Against this background, NRW.Bank and Zenit will continue to use the surroundings of this trade fair to support business initiation both nationally and internationally with a platform within the framework of the Enterprise Europe Network (NRW.Europa) funded by the EU Commission to give them space - in the truest sense of the word. "

Of course, that too Easy go system belong to the concept. It enables contact-free exchange of contact data in the exhibition center. The entrance ticket becomes a smart badge that can communicate with the exhibitors via an NFC reader in the hall at the exhibition stand.

FMB postponed due to the corona pandemic

FMB Bad Salzuflen Corona pandemic30.11.2020 | The organizers of FMB fair in Bad Salzuflen were optimistic until October that they would be able to organize a successful, informative and safe trade fair. More than 300 exhibitors have been looking forward to a restart of the trade fair activities. Visitor registrations had also developed positively. It's all history again: The Subcontracting is due to the Corona pandemic postponed just a few days before the start.

With the sharp increase in the number of Covid-19 infections, the picture described above has changed dramatically. Without further ado, the organizers offered their exhibitors the Booking for the 2020 fair towards the next year transfer. Almost all of them accepted the offer. At least that's good news. Because there is already a very strong exhibitor base for next year. This approach was confirmed by the lockdown that has now been imposed on the trade fair industry.

New ways with the matchmaking platform

All those involved can still use the international cooperation exchange of the B2B matchmaking use. This is organized by NRW.Bank and Zenit GmbH in the NRW.Europa network in cooperation with the Lippe district economic development agency. Access to this remains open on the FMB website. The matchmaking process of establishing contacts takes place completely digitally.

The trade visitors could have used the new B2B matchmaking in the run-up to the fair. To do this, the user registers on the Matchmaking platform, briefly introduces his company and describes his needs or actively looks for suitable suppliers himself. 

“This new way of establishing contacts links the online world with live conversations, with the aim of increasing the success rate for really useful conversations and increasing the efficiency of the trade fair presence. We are very excited to see how this service is used, ”comments Christian Enssle.

Seven good reasons for visiting the trade fair

FMB Bad Salzuflen 60012.10.2020 | First fairs like that All about automation in Essen and Chemnitz have shown: Regional industrial fairs of a manageable format are also feasible during the corona pandemic. You are safe and the visitors come and feel comfortable. None of this can be taken for granted. That is why the organizers of FMB Bad Salzuflen presented seven good reasons for visiting the trade fair in October. But these also apply to 2021:

  1. The need for exchange is high, making FMB all the more important as a communication platform.   
  2. Companies can finally get theirs New Products introduce.  
  3. Visitors need Impulses and suggestions for optimizing your products and production.
  4. The Hygiene concept, which the organizer developed with the SGS Group, has meanwhile been successfully tested at All about Automation, among others.
  5. With various approaches such as Easy go entry ticket and the B2B matchmaking platform, the number of personal contacts can be limited without reducing the information content.
  6. At the joint stand of Leading-Edge Cluster Major topics such as Industry 4.0 and digitization are addressed using practical examples from research and industry.
  7. Visitors meet the entire range of suppliers to the mechanical and plant engineering sector, including hidden champions and local specialists from Supplier industry alike.

Metal machining at the FMB

14.09.2020/XNUMX/XNUMX | At the FMB, visitors will encounter specialists in the demanding field of Metalworking like Loll Feinmechanik, Schwichtenberg and Poggengerd.

The Loll precision mechanics GmbH from Tornesch produces complete assemblies for industries such as mechanical engineering, Medical Technology, Aerospace or oil and gas industries. The Schwichtenberg GmbH from Lemgo machines at the highest quality level. The company has focused on very small components made of classic aluminum and steel materials, titanium and magnesium as well Metal Specialized components in particularly high surface quality.

The specialist for high-end machining is Poggengerd GmbH in Marienfeld. The contract manufacturer in the high-precision area produces machine parts in air-conditioned rooms with state-of-the-art CNC machines, for example for the mechanical engineering, mold and tool construction industries, Hydraulic System and medical technology. Poggengerd also bridges the gap with surface technology as a new FMB focus. The company masters a wide variety of grinding processes, some of which are very demanding.

Mood picture in Corona April

FMB trade fair 2020


06.04.2020 | The organizer of the FMB - the supplier fair for mechanical engineering draws a picture of the mood of the exhibitors: The Mechanical engineering supplier had to do without the proven communication channels in sales in the weeks before. Trade fairs and field service visits fell flat. Existing customers and interested parties could be supplied with information online. When it comes to addressing potential new customers directly, there were and still are deficits. 

So there are good reasons for the great popularity: “The exhibitors with whom we are in lively exchange miss him personal contact to existing and potential customers. We therefore expect that the need for communication and information will be high in the second half of the year, ”assumes Mr. Enßle.

 KIPP control units kIndividual control panels as special solutions from a single source

An equally important group of exhibitors are the numerous smaller suppliers who are Hidden champions specialized in niche segments. Buyers and designers from mechanical engineering can make real discoveries and make new contacts at the FMB.

In addition to technology trends with a focus on digitization, the trade fair organizer believes that there will be a topic at this year's FMB that will be more in focus than in previous years. “Many companies are currently finding that their supply chains are too unstable during a crisis. In the coming months they will draw conclusions from this, reassess their purchasing strategies and, for example, set up second suppliers and / or rely on regional suppliers ”, so Christian Enßle.

The mechanical engineering supplier fair was originally founded to bring the suppliers in Ostwestfalen-Lippe (OWL) together with the local mechanical engineering companies and regional Network to establish. With the growth of the fair, this focus has expanded to the northern half of Germany. However, the claim to focus on strong and stable supply chains with a close direct exchange of the participants still exists.

The FMB Bad Salzuflen also expects a strong participation of exhibitors and visitors because the mechanical engineering as well as the assembly and handling technology including the supplier branch is currently in an intensive phase of innovation. Digitization and Industry 4.0 are the keywords here. Platforms for exchanging information between suppliers, manufacturers and users of machines are therefore all the more important. At the FMB trade fair, they could have discussed trends and found out about new developments - not least because the East Westphalia Lippe region, as the home of FMB, is a Europe-wide hotspot for these topics.

FMB trade fair especially important this year

FMB trade fair start in NRW


06.04.2020 | At the plastics specialist Igus the FMB is not only “set” this year, but the trade fair is playing a more important role in view of the general situation. Michael Blaß, director E-chain systems comments: “As an exhibitor, we are always happy to be at the FMB trade fair and have further increased the exhibition area this year. Because here in north-west Germany we can hold discussions with customers at a time when many large national trade fairs are not taking place. "

Igus digital fairAll about Automation Essen sends a positive signal to the trade fair

Also the second division of Igloobearings and DrylinLinear Technology feels in good hands at the fair. “The FMB is an event at which you can get information quickly and easily in a target-oriented manner in a pleasant atmosphere. Visitors do not necessarily have to invest a whole working day, but have the opportunity to get to know many innovations in a very short time, ”says Tobias Vogel, head of this corporate division. Igus is presenting over 100 new Motion Plastics products in Bad Salzuflen this year alone. These help to improve users' technology and reduce costs.

Impressions of the FMB 2019

2019 | Look back at a few Impressions from the year 2019:



The maintenance of the future on the FMB of the present

fmb081908.08.2019 | If you want to reduce production costs, come to the Optimization of maintenance not over. At the FMB, visitors will get to know ideas, concepts and services for optimizing maintenance - and do it twice: on the exhibition floor and in the lecture program. The subcontracting fair for mechanical engineering is thus addressing a highly topical issue:

With newer concepts like Predictive Maintenance and Condition monitoring Industrial companies can save costs, increase the productivity of machines and systems and conserve resources because wearing parts are no longer replaced in a targeted manner.

Visitors to the FMB can find out how these findings can be implemented in industrial practice as they walk through the exhibition halls. Many exhibitors will present products and solutions there that, in terms of preventive maintenance, Lifespan of machines and plants extend. These include e.g. B. Machine components such as drive elements and energy chains that automatically monitor their condition. Other exhibitors offer software for planning maintenance. And many suppliers - but especially their sales partners and trading houses who are present at the FMB - have their own on-site service for their products in their portfolio.

Visitors to the lecture program on the first day of the fair (Wednesday, November 6.11.2019th, XNUMX) will get a deeper insight into current individual topics of modern maintenance. Under the title The maintenance of the future Eight speakers will present their concepts and specialist knowledge here. The spectrum ranges from current topics of digitized production such as "Virtual/Mixed Reality in maintenance" and "System solutions for condition monitoring" to safety-related issues that arise from the modernization of existing machines and systems.

90% of the exhibition space for the FMB 2019 already occupied

fmb041910.04.2019/15/90 | For the XNUMXth anniversary of the FMB – the supplier fair for mechanical engineering in Bad Salzuflen, the organizers can already look back on XNUMX% of the exhibition space being booked. the Hall 20 is already fully occupied. This exceeded the very good level of the previous year of 80% booked space.

Christian Enßle, Portfolio Manager FMB: “Of course, 15 stands for a small anniversary and that always gives reason to check whether a trade fair is up to date. But the FMB is successful and, with its unique concept, simply fits well into the landscape of industrial trade fairs. There is therefore no reason to change the format or the focus of the fair.”

The numerous bookings also allow an overview of the industry and technology focuses that can be seen at FMB 2019. The portfolio is broad and includes the entire supplier landscape for mechanical engineering - with one Focus on the core areas, metal and plastics processing, electrical engineering/electronics, assembly and handling technology as well as drive technology and Measuring and testing technology. 

This year's new exhibitors will include Stork, Turck and trump belong. Christian Enssle: "These three companies - each in its own area - stand for powerful and innovative partners in mechanical engineering: Stork in the broad field of demanding metalworking, Trumpf as the founder of industrial laser processing technology and Turck as a global player Specialist in industrial automation.” The FMB 2019 will take place from 6th to 8th November 2019.

500 FMB exhibitors show automation and digitization

fmb101817.08.2018/14/XNUMX | There are still a few days until the start of the XNUMXth FMB – Supplier Fair for Mechanical Engineering in Bad Salzuflen (organizer Clarion Events). More than 500 exhibitors will present their products and services for mechanical engineering there, covering the entire spectrum of the supplier industry.

The starting conditions for the trade fair are good: According to the VDMA, the member companies have an average Order range of 8,6 months. German machine builders will close the 2018 financial year with a plus of 5%. Even if the prospects for 2019 are somewhat more restrained - the VDMA expects real production growth of 2% - the trend towards automation and digitization of production will remain a growth engine for machine manufacturers and thus also for their suppliers.

The FMB will give visitors a good opportunity to set the course for the coming financial year and not only get to know new suppliers, but also new products and solutions that Added value for machine users Offer. The focus is on the core sectors of the supplier industry: almost 200 exhibitors are divided into the product groups electrical engineering, industrial electronics and control technology, 166 are at home in assembly, handling and automation technology and 145 in drive technology.

Maintenance will be the top topic of the first day. There is a disproportionate increase in exhibitors showing solutions for this area. In the course of digitization, technologies such as condition monitoring and predictive maintenance are beginning to assert themselves. The program of lectures on the first day of the fair is all about innovative service and maintenance concepts on “Maintenance Day”.
