IMTEX – the flagship event of IMTMA on metalworking sector, started in 1969 – is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year. The show has emerged as one of the biggest machine tool exhibitions in South-East Asia, along with the concurrent show Tooltech. Over the years, IMTEX has become a show window to witness `live’ new trends, technological refinements and innovative approaches in manufacturing solutions and systems. With the theme line of “Powering Manufacturing Growth & Competitiveness”, this year the show is all set to reinforce the business optimism, just at the right time. It will provide the much-needed boost to the growth in the Indian machine tool industry as well as a further boom in the manufacturing sector. Hope the manufacturing community will make the most from this much-awaited show. Trade shows always offer a single, short-term platform to network, market, and keep tabs on competition, market trends and innovation cycles.
