"This EMO was a winner in every respect and has earned top marks from visitors and exhibitors alike. EMO Hannover has further expanded its reputation as the flagship fair for the international metalworking industry," remarked EMO Hannover General Commissioner Dr. Detlev Elsinghorst at the end of the fair.
"The machine tool industry continues in full swing. In the course of the past six days, the order volume reached a minimum of €4.5 billion," added Dr. Wilfried Schäfer, Executive Director of the German Machine Tool Builders' Association (VDW), the organizer of the event. "Against the backdrop of an upswing in orders over the past few months, EMO's positive outcome means an even stronger market footing for exhibitors," concluded Schäfer.
