How time flies when you’re having fun. Yes folks, welcome to the landmark 10th issue of Machinery & Manufacturing. And what an issue it is, with our EMO 2023 exhibition preview taking pride of place. Taking place on 18-23 September in Hanover, Germany, I’m very much looking forward to EMO. After all, it’s the world largest trade show for machine tools, providing the platform for an array of product launches and astonishing displays of metal-cutting and metal-forming excellence. I’ll be among the circa 130,000 visitors at the show, flying the flag for Machinery & Manufacturing and taking note of any exciting new products or technologies that you need to know about. There will certainly be a lot of ground to cover, with around 2,200 exhibitors expected to present their latest innovations. Note to self: pack comfortable shoes. The first EMO took place in 1951, but the 2023 edition will be the first for Machinery & Manufacturing, which produced its first issue in January 2022. Just like today’s machine tools would be unrecognisable to those attending the show in 1951, so the sector’s supporting publications have also evolved. As a hybrid publication, Machinery & Manufacturing offers an immersive reader experience for enjoyment on or alongside your smartphone or tablet. You can click or scan buttons for instant video content or brochure downloads. Similar to the new machine tools on display at EMO 2023, we’re taking trade publications to the next level. In terms of content, Machinery & Manufacturing provides a broad spread of news, technology features, visit reports and interviews, many of which are exclusive to our publication. You simply won’t find them anywhere else. What’s more, as you’ve already discovered, we visit the sector’s major events, keeping you up to date with all the latest tech. EMO here we come!
