Frequently asked questions

Which European trade fair is relevant to UK metalworking and machine tool suppliers?

EMO is an international exhibition for metalworking production technology, with editions in Hannover and Milan. It is relevant to UK suppliers of machine tools, precision tools, metrology, automation and manufacturing software. Confirm the venue and edition when researching participation: this page retains information about EMO Hannover 2025, which has already taken place.

Which buyers can UK exhibitors reach at EMO Hannover?

EMO Hannover brings together manufacturing professionals evaluating metalworking equipment and production technology. UK exhibitors can use it for technical sales discussions and international relationship building. Prepare application examples and ensure your stand team can answer questions about process capability, integration and support as well as product specifications.

Can we still exhibit at EMO Hannover 2025?

No. EMO Hannover 2025 has already taken place, and the information for that edition is historical. UK companies interested in a future Hannover presence should ask for the relevant edition’s participation details. Do not use a past stand price, hall plan or application deadline as the basis for a new booking.

Is EMO Hannover the same event location as EMO Milano?

EMO editions take place in Hannover and Milan at different times. The organiser identifies Milan as the next EMO venue in 2027, with a return to Hannover in 2029. UK exhibitors should confirm the city and edition when requesting a stand, planning freight or comparing participation information.

What should UK exhibitors plan before demonstrating a machine tool at EMO?

Plan the machine footprint, transport and lifting, installation, electrical supply, tooling, materials and demonstration staffing together. Buyers need a clear explanation of the operation being shown and its production relevance. Confirm technical requirements and build-up arrangements for your chosen edition before finalising the stand layout or booking equipment transport.

Where can UK precision tooling and metrology companies exhibit to manufacturing buyers?

EMO’s production technology scope includes precision tools and measuring technology alongside machine tools and automation. UK suppliers can assess it for reaching manufacturers who need to improve machining capability, accuracy or inspection. Prepare application evidence for the production processes you serve and check the relevant edition’s product categories and participation options.

What should a UK manufacturer prepare before visiting EMO?

Bring a production brief covering materials, component dimensions, tolerances, volumes and existing equipment. Use the exhibitor directory for the edition you plan to attend to arrange supplier meetings and demonstrations. A consistent brief helps you compare machines, tools and automation on their suitability for your work rather than headline specifications.
