Under the motto Innovate Manufacturing, EMO Hanover – taking place from September 22 - 26, 2025 in Germany – stands for innovation, internationality, inspiration, and the future of metalworking.

The world's leading trade fair for production technology, EMO is the only event to present the entire value-added chain for metalworking: from machine tools, production systems, additive processes, precision tools and automation through to measuring technology, quality assurance, software, and accessories.

Its target groups are the 'global industrial trendsetters': mechanical engineering firms, the automotive industry, aerospace engineering, metalworking and metal processing, medical technology companies, energy suppliers and more.

"As the platform for business and discussions between all the international players in the industry – manufacturers and users – EMO is unique in the world," Dr. Markus Heering, Executive Director of the German Machine Tools Builders' Association (VDW), the organiser of EMO, said at the EMO presentation in London on May 13, 2025. 

With 13 companies already registered, the UK will once again be prominently represented at EMO 2025. Companies including Renishaw, Matrix, Castrol, Vision Engineering, Filtermist and CloudNC announced their participation at an early stage, highlighting their commitment to the event. 

In addition to offering contacts with the customary markets, EMO will offer a large number of starting points for establishing new business relationships. 

"Trade visitors at EMO come from all over the world. Every one of them is a potential customer," Heering added. "However, they come to EMO to obtain information on the latest range of machine tools, solutions and services worldwide, become acquainted with new suppliers and prospects, and initiate potentially new supplier relationships."

During EMO 2025 almost 1,400 exhibitors from 35 countries will present solutions to key industry challenges, including rising costs, the need for more skilled workers, and the integration of new technologies. Experts will discuss the megatrends of automation, digitalisation, AI and sustainability, to ultimately examine their progress in metalworking.
