Fewer visitors - but satisfied exhibitors in 2022

FMB South202217.05.2022/XNUMX/XNUMX | From the point of view of the organizers, the exhibitors' answers to questions about the interests of the visitors are informative and promising. Christian Enßle, Head of Cluster FMB, on the result: "There is still room for improvement in terms of the number of visitors for the subsequent events: We expected more here, we have to say that openly. However, our survey of the exhibitors revealed that they really constructive conversations have conducted and are thoroughly satisfied with the result of their presence at the FMB-Süd. The walk-in customers were missing. But the trade fair visitors on site had concrete projects in mind. To do this, they looked for suppliers and partners.

For the organizer this means: quality not quantity. They want to take this into account when planning future FMB trade fairs. The exhibitors were satisfied that they finally had the opportunity to make personal contact with potential customers and interested parties again. The atmosphere was appealing, the effort was comparatively low. 

Regional industrial fair in Augsburg in the starting blocks

FMB Christian Enssle03.05.2022/80/XNUMX | A current survey by the Ifo Institute shows: More than XNUMX% of the companies surveyed Problems and bottlenecks in procurement of industrial goods. The causes are as diverse as the products in which scarcity and immense price increases prevail. A regional industrial fair like the FMB-Süd comes at just the right time. On May 11th and 12th, 2022, alternative sources of supply can be developed and efficient secondary suppliers can be found. 

“The optimization and stabilization of the supply chain is at the top of the agenda for many companies. That's why we expect a higher proportion of visitors from purchasing at this year's trade fair than before," suspected Christian Enßle, Head of Cluster FMB of the trade fair organizer Easyfairs. “Although it is a compact trade fair with a regional focus, it covers the entire spectrum of the mechanical engineering supply industry. This format is unique in the trade fair landscape. In addition, companies from the region are disproportionately represented. From the point of view of the organizers, this offers additional opportunities: The regional proximity also facilitates more intensive cooperation between machine builders and suppliers, for example in the development of new machine series - quite apart from the fact that short supply chains are more durable than those that span continents".

Machining service provider Italy and Spain as well as several contract manufacturers in mechanical engineering Austria are also represented, as are global market leaders such as ABB Stotz-Kontakt, NORD, Igus, Solidcam.

Preparations for the regional industrial fair are underway

FMB South 202221.02.2022/11/2022 | On May XNUMX, XNUMX, the FMB-Süd starts in Augsburg. As the official partner, the organizers were once again able to Cluster Mechatronics & Automation to win. The visitors' stay is made as easy and safe as possible: In addition to free entry, visitors can park directly in front of the entrance to the trade fair and the hygiene concept is certified.

A few weeks before the start of the fair, Easyfairs expects exhibitors to register. Christian Enßle, Head of Cluster FMB: "It was the same in autumn 2021, before the FMB in Bad Salzuflen: Many exhibitors are observing the situation and deciding at short notice whether to participate. We are prepared for this and because we offer a complete package with furniture, lighting, catering, etc., there is no need for much preparation. Exhibitors can therefore book spontaneously.”

The technology cluster mechatronics & automation continues the partnership with FMB-Süd. “The cluster with its approx 220 corporate membersn is well connected throughout Bavaria. The cluster management recommends that the members take part in the FMB-Süd and will also actively help to shape the lecture program - one more reason to visit the fair!"

FMB-Süd 2022 postponed to May due to corona

06.12.2021 | The one planned for 16/17.02.22/XNUMX and XNUMX/XNUMX/XNUMX FMB-Süd is postponed to 11/12.05.22/XNUMX and XNUMX/XNUMX/XNUMX. Christian Enssle: “Exhibitors need planning security and that is simply not available at the moment. In the currently very difficult Corona situation in Bavaria, events are subject to high requirements. An industrial trade fair cannot be successfully held in the current situation. No one knows what the situation will be like in mid-February. The decision was difficult for us, but we are creating clarity with it and hope that the conditions for a really good trade fair in May are met.”

The need to postpone is all the more annoying because of the Presence fair in Bad Salzuflen from the point of view of visitors and exhibitors huge success was. Many exhibitors had already decided to participate in FMB-Süd, but the pandemic development in southern Germany ultimately prevented them from making a binding booking.

 “Of course we understand that. We therefore looked for a new date together with Messe Augsburg at an early stage that would be suitable for everyone involved higher planning security promises,” says the cluster manager. The trade fair company will use the additional lead time to attract further exhibitors from the mechanical engineering supplier industry to FMB-Süd. The exhibitors, in turn, gain time for attracting visitors, and the starting conditions for a visit to the trade fair are likely to be significantly better in the spring than in February. And so the participants agree: it's better to have a really good trade fair in May than intensive planning for a trade fair that has to be canceled shortly before it starts.

Preparations are underway in Augsburg

FMB South 202214.11.2021 | After the trade fair is before the trade fair: After the FMB in Bad Salzuflen ended last week, the organizers of the trade fair are already thinking ahead. Christian Enßle, Head of Cluster FMB: "We are now working intensively on the preparation for FMB-Süd, which will take place in Augsburg for the fifth time in February 2022 after a corona-related break."

In the current situation, which is still characterized by caution and restrictions on travel and large crowds, FMB-Süd offers additional advantages: "The The exhibition center can be reached quickly from the strongest economic area in Germany. Here the visitor can establish contacts with suppliers from all relevant sectors: from metal and plastics processing to drive, control and automation technology to industry-related services. These are the best prerequisites for an efficient working day! "

Both World leader as well as small, partly high specialized suppliers will present their product range and their competence. Global players such as Bihl + Wiedemann, ABB Stotz-Kontakt, Getriebebau Nord, Igus, Hiwin, Nadella and RK Rose + Krieger are represented for drive and control technology.

At the same time, visitors to the fair will also find regional suppliers for welded assemblies, sheet metal processing, Plastic-Injection molded parts, Laser parts, Metal construction or Surface treatment. Christian Enßle: "It's all in the mix - that's what sets us apart from the trade fairs."

FMB-Süd 2022 with the entire value chain

27.04.2021/XNUMX/XNUMX | Under the slogan This is how mechanical engineering works! exhibitors at the FMB-Süd trade fair in Augsburg show the entire mechanical engineering value chain. The exhibits range from semi-finished products to machine parts and assemblies. The technologies focus on automation through to individual industrial services. Designers, developers and decision-makers from mechanical and plant engineering and their application industries will find solution partners for components, technologies, field-tested applications and innovative concepts at the exhibition stands.

The focus of the trade fair is personal contact and constructive discussions. As an industry meeting point, the FMB-Süd brings together the players in the region in a targeted manner. "Just in the Post-Corona time it's important that technical suppliers get back to talking to their customers quickly and constructively," comments Christian Enssle. "The development of regional supply chains is becoming increasingly important. For this purpose, FMB-Süd provides the region with a professional platform on the southern technology axis.”

Participation is made particularly easy for exhibitors. Easyfairs is offering a in Augsburg Carefree package for quick and easy organization. The booth is identical for all exhibitors. In this way you can concentrate on the essentials with the presentation of your solutions for the very individual questions of the visitors.

The economic environment around augsburg offers the best conditions for this. The dynamic industrial region is characterized by global companies such as MAN, Kuka, MT Aerospace and Manroland as well as innovative medium-sized companies. In addition, Augsburg is conveniently located in Germany's strongest economic area between Munich and Stuttgart and in the direct catchment area of ​​Ingolstadt, Ulm, Aalen and Memmingen. The Swabia region is characterized by a disproportionately high proportion of manufacturing industry. That means: The FMB-Süd can come - at the right time in the right place.

FMB Süd supplier fair will be suspended in 2021

fmb sued supplier fair 202014.09.2020/XNUMX/XNUMX | The Corona Pandemic is having a significant negative impact on the entire trade fair industry and is affecting the Marketing communication in the industry quite significantly. In view of the frequency of and postponed industrial fairs In spring 2021, Easyfairs Deutschland GmbH decided to suspend the next FMB-Süd in February 2021.

Since March 2020 there has not been a larger one in Europe industry fair given. The international trade fairs planned for autumn such as Euroblech, Fakuma, Formnext, Motek, SPS have been canceled or postponed. Only national trade fairs such as the FMB Bad Salzuflen from November 4 to 6, 2020 in Bad Salzuflen are still supposed to take place subject to hygiene requirements.

"Die EntscheidungIt was not easy for us to suspend the FMB-Süd 2021 in Augsburg," says the cluster manager. We met them in the interest of exhibitors and visitors. The reason: Our goal is always to organize a successful trade fair with many qualified trade visitors. In view of the variety of trade fairs in the months of February to April and the tight time budget of decision-makers in the industry, we do not see this as a mandatory requirement."

Realign FMB-Süd for 2022

The organizers will use the time to Spring 2022 to realign the FMB Süd. "Many exhibitors wanted to transfer the successful concept of the FMB to the southern half of Germany: a compact and high-contact trade fair that covers the entire spectrum of the supplier industry for mechanical engineering, such as drive, assembly and handling technology, control technology, etc.

This concept has worked - also thanks to the very good cooperation with strong partners in mechanical engineering, especially the Cluster Mechatronics & Automation as well as the Augsburg Trade Fair ”, says Christian Enßle.

The profile of the trade fair is now to be sharpened. In 2022, the supplier industry is to receive an effective communication platform in the Augsburg exhibition center in southern Germany with an optimally positioned FMB-Süd.

FMB-Süd 2020 Review of a successful subcontracting fair

FMB-South19.02.2020/XNUMX/XNUMX | Shortly after the fourth FMB-Süd closed its doors in Augsburg, the organizer Easyfairs despite hurricane low Sabine and local travel restrictions, draw a positive conclusion. The visitors and exhibitors surveyed have achieved their trade fair goals and emphasize the high quality of the discussions at the trade fair stands. These have the full range of compact supply sectors for Engineering and Manufacturing gezeigt.

The FMB-Süd concept has worked out for the fourth time in a row. 135 exhibitors presented their innovations in a broad mix of industries for two days. From metalworking and plastics processing to drive technology, assembly technology, handling technology, control technology and automation technology to industry-related services, everything was represented.

The exhibitors surveyed confirmed both the quality and the number of discussions. Many of them still have one during the fair Booth booked for FMB-Süd 2021.

From the organizer's point of view, the number of visitors was not entirely satisfactory. Christian Enßle, Head of Cluster FMB at Easyfairs GmbH: “We got that Storm depression Sabine thwarted the bill. The day before the fair there were travel warnings and the railway had stopped traffic. That is why more visitors than usual who had already downloaded their trade fair ticket in advance did not start the trip. We are all the more pleased that the exhibitors we spoke to were able to draw a positive balance sheet at the fair.

It was well attended on site lecture program an attraction. On the first day of the fair, the main topic "Quality and efficiency in production" attracted the visitors, on the second day it was the topic "Increase productivity - reduce downtimes". The lectures were given by the experts curated by the Mechatronics & Automation cluster. On both days of the fair, the cluster gave an interesting insight into its work and ongoing projects.

For many exhibitors and visitors, FMB-Süd was the start of the 2020 trade fair year. The FMB organizers are now concentrating on preparing for the FMB supplier fair 2020, which will take place from November 4th to 6.11.2020th, 2020 in Bad Salzuflen. For many participants, it marks the end of the XNUMX trade fair year.

Visitors expected with a top lecture program

FMB South20.01.2020/12/2020 | On February XNUMX, XNUMX, the FMB-Süd starts from the organizer Easyfairs in Augsburg. A broad exhibition program awaits visitors to the mechanical engineering supplier fair for southern Germany. The exhibits of the approx 130 exhibitors cover the entire range of the supply industry for the Engineering from. Trade visitors also have the prospect of an interesting supporting program.

the broad branch mix of mechanical engineering is enough on the FMB-Süd from metal and plastics processing to assembly, handling technology, Robotic and Automation as well as drive technology up to Control Technology. The usual compactness of the fair, which it took over from the FMB in Bad Salzuflen, creates the best conditions for a constructive exchange between exhibitors and visitors.

In Augsburg, decision-makers and designers from mechanical engineering and industry can take suggestions for the optimization of their product range with them Cooperation with new suppliers search. They also have a free choice with regard to the size and origin of the company. Global players like ABB Stotz-Kontakt, Ewellix, Hitachi Drives & Automation, Hiwin and Igus are represented at the FMB-Süd as well as highly specialized small and medium-sized suppliers from the region.

The way food is production-related services of mechanical engineering are not neglected at the subcontracting fair. The spectrum ranges from product development and logistics to maintenance and repairs. Another focus is the software to support development and production. Ce-Con, Proalpha and Solidcam are among the exhibitors in Augsburg.

The accompanying program of lectures the regional FMB-Süd 2020 spans the range almost as far as the exhibits of the exhibitors at the exhibition stands. On the first day of the trade fair in Augsburg, the focus will be on "Quality and Efficiency in Production". On the second day there will be nine exciting lectures on the topic "Increasing productivity - reducing downtime". The afternoon program on both days is curated by the Mechatronics & Automation cluster.

Lightweight construction and digitization as trend topics

fmb111913.11.2019 | On the current topics on the FMB South 2020 The focus is on digitization in industrial production and lightweight construction in mechanical engineering. On February 12th and 13th, 2020, visitors to Augsburg will also get to know new practical examples of digitization projects that are worth imitating.

In addition, numerous exhibitors will provide the necessary "tools" and components for the realization of the digitized manufacturing show - for example drive components with integrated sensors for condition detection and AR glasses for the improvement of service and maintenance work on machines and systems. The FMB-Süd is thus addressing the "producers" on the southern technology axis, which extends from Karlsruhe via Stuttgart, Ulm, Augsburg and Munich to the Bavarian chemical triangle around Freilassing. 20% of all engineers in Germany work here and the patent density is 2,7 times higher than the national average.

The second trend topic of the fair Lightweight is ideally located in Augsburg, because aircraft construction in the region has a very strong presence here: it is 6,2 times as strongly represented here as the national average. Material specialists and suppliers who develop and manufacture weight-saving components are correspondingly well represented here. This property is particularly in demand in aviation, but also increasingly in mechanical engineering. For example, drives can be made smaller if it is possible to reduce the moving masses of machines and systems. This increases energy efficiency and the user benefits from low energy costs. In addition, lightweight construction is a contribution to the resource-saving use of materials - an aspect that designers in mechanical engineering are increasingly including in their specifications.

Regardless of these two trend topics, the 4th FMB-Süd will be the entire value chain of mechanical engineering. In doing so, it follows the concept of the FMB – Supplier Fair for Mechanical Engineering, which always takes place in November in Bad Salzuflen.

Booking status 2020 at previous year's level

fmb091911.09.2019/2019/12 | As of the beginning of September 13, it is becoming apparent that the fourth FMB-Süd, which will take place in Augsburg from February 2020th to XNUMXth, XNUMX, will again offer an interesting mix of exhibiting companies. At the same time, the trade fair networks in the region and presents itself two industry forums.

The trade fair organizers are very satisfied with the booking status of FMB-Süd. Christian Enßle, Portfolio Manager FMB: "Important anchor exhibitors have booked, the numbers are around the same level as last year and the companies that have already registered cover a very broad spectrum of the supply chain in mechanical engineering." In September, the organizers will use two opportunities to draw attention to the trade fair and win new exhibitors to take part in FMB-Süd.

This is the first event 13th International Forum Mechatronics, which will take place on September 26, 2019 in Cham (Bavaria). This annual congress has established itself as a European marketplace for innovative production technology. One of the co-organizers is the Forum Mechatronik + Automation, which, as a cooperation partner of FMB-Süd, recommends that its more than two hundred members take part in the trade fair and helps shape the supporting program. This year's congress is entitled "Future of Production: Digital, Networked, Global".

Almost at the same time, from September 24th to 26th, 2019, the Experience Additive Manufacturing which was developed as a multi-location event by Messe Augsburg. At both events, the FMB-Süd will present itself as a platform for the exchange of mechanical engineering with qualified suppliers and as a "place to be" for production experts from the entire southern half of Germany.

A few weeks later there is already the next event, which will increase the number of bookings. From November 6th to 8th, 2019, the FMB - the supplier fair for mechanical engineering and thus the "mother" of the FMB-Süd will take place in Bad Salzuflen. Many exhibitors are at both fairs represent and book their stand for Augsburg in Bad Salzuflen.

Expanded focus on predictive maintenance

fmb2011907.02.2019 | On February 20, 2019, the third FMB-Süd (organizer: Clarion Events) starts in Augsburg. At the beginning of the trade fair year, decision-makers in mechanical engineering and industry have the opportunity to find out about current trends. This year, the trade fair organizers are focusing on this topic Predictive Maintenance.

At the fair, the exhibiting companies present the entire spectrum of supply industry for mechanical engineering and industry. Find out about the latest products and trends - from metal and plastic processing to assembly, handling and automation technology, as well as drive technology and control technology. The production-related services range from product development and logistics to maintenance and repairs.

The FMB-Süd will gain additional attractiveness this year through the accompanying program of lectures on the second day of the fair, which clearly focuses on trend topics in the industry - for example in preventive maintenance. It is considered an important measure to reduce maintenance costs and at the same time keep the productivity of the machine park at a high level. And in many companies it is the first field of action for the digitization of production in the sense of Industry 4.0. For example, drive components and sensors collect data that provide information about the remaining service life of wearing parts.

For example lectures MSc Jonas Dumler from the Chair of Environmentally Friendly Production Engineering at the University of Bayreuth on "Decentralized Data Analysis for Predictive Maintenance Scenarios", and a panel discussion with six experts provides an overview of the use of artificial intelligence in preventive maintenance.

Apart from the extended main topics, the concept of the FMB-Süd will be retained in the third year: The Entry is free, visitors can park for free directly in front of the hall, and the trade fair is completely geared towards exhibitors and visitors getting into conversation and making new contacts with little effort.

Trend topics of the FMB-Süd 2019

fmb011908.01.2019/XNUMX/XNUMX | the third FMB-South (Organizer: Clarion Events) takes place from the 20. and 21. February 2019 held in Augsburg. It offers a dense program of practice-oriented lectures on key trend topics in production: predictive maintenance, networking of the factory, additive manufacturing and ways out of a shortage of skilled workers.

The program is organized together with the experts of the Cluster mechatronics + automation, to which more than 200 companies on the southern technology axis have joined forces. Christian Enssle, portfolio manager of the trade fair organizer: “At the FMB in Bad Salzuflen, we have had very good experiences in setting topics and actively acquiring presentations. We are now transferring this concept to the FMB-Süd for the first time and at the same time increasing the area for the lecture arena.”

In coordination with the exhibitors, the organizers have defined three main topics, each of which will have a block with several lectures. Predictive Maintenance is interesting for the entire industrial production and not only for mechanical engineering, because predictive maintenance reduces downtimes and increases productivity. In addition, predictive maintenance is considered a pioneer application for Industry 4.0 concepts.

The networking of the factory the second focus of the lecture program is nothing other than digitization at the "shop floor" level: a topic that almost every industrial company is currently dealing with. Concrete, practice-oriented examples of such networking are presented.

And thirdly: More and more companies are using it Additive Manufacturing for (small) series products made of plastic and metal. There is strong research and production expertise in materials engineering and innovative processing technologies in the Augsburg region. In addition, the key sectors for the application of additive manufacturing processes, in particular the aviation and automotive industries, are concentrated on the southern technology axis.

Fourth, the mechatronics + automation cluster is responsible for the contents of the European third-party funded project Inno Peer AVM introduce. dr Thomas helper, responsible for qualification and securing skilled workers at the cluster: “In this project, eleven organizations from five countries have come together to put together a comprehensive, cross-country qualification program. We focused on three knowledge dimensions - AVM technologies, human resources and organizational management as well as the development of business models - with a mix of proven and innovative training formats and methods".

After the FMB is before the FMB-Süd - interview

29.11.2017/2017/XNUMX | "We had a sold-out house for the first time at the FMB XNUMX in Bad Salzuflen," says Christian Enßle, Portfolio Manager FMB, Clarion Events Deutschland GmbH, Bielefeld, in an interview at the SPS in Nuremberg. 

We asked the Portfolio Manager the following questions:

  • The FMB took place in Bad Salzuflen three weeks ago: How was it?
  • Which experiences take with you in the preparation for the FMB 2018?
  • The fair has grown again from 538 exhibitors in 2016 to 553 exhibitors in 2017. Which Potential Buyers / Aggregators does the FMB have?
  • This year you launched a second FMB in Augsburg. Why does that need the South?
  • What can visitors to FMB Süd expect in the February 2018?
  • What can your two supplier fairs do? other trade fairs not bid?



FMB-Süd 2018 expects a 20% increase in exhibitors

fmb041729.11.2017/XNUMX/XNUMX | The organizers of the subcontracting fair FMB-Süd (organizer: Clarion Events) are expecting around 180 exhibitors. That would be an increase of 20% compared to the trade fair premiere in February 2017. The FMB-Süd transfers the successful concept of the FMB - Supplier Fair for Mechanical Engineering, which was first realized thirteen years ago, to the southern half of Germany with a trade fair of short distances that covers the entire spectrum of mechanical engineering -Supplier covers. One of the goals of the organizer is that both exhibitors and visitors can take part in the trade fair with as little effort as possible.

Apparently this concept works. At the trade fair premiere in February 2017 144 exhibitors their products and services. So far 130 companies have registered for the second FMB-Süd. Christian Enßle, portfolio manager at Clarion Events Deutschland GmbH: "Several exhibitors at FMB-Nord were so satisfied with the trade fair that they directly booked or reserved a stand for FMB-Süd." The 2nd FMB-Süd will take place on February 7th and 8th, 2018 at the Augsburg Exhibition Center.
