Formnext 2016 on Track for Further Success

The stage is set for formnext powered by tct to continue its impressive development. Some nine months (as of 1 March 2016) prior to the 2016 opening of this international exhibition and conference on 15 November in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, exhibitors have already snapped up more than 70 per cent of the previous year’s exhibition space. An array of international market leaders have already committed to attending formnext 2016, including 3D Systems, Additive Industries, Alphacam, Arburg, Autodesk, Bikar, EOS, Heraeus, Hermle, Knarr, Listemann, Materialise, Realizer, SLM Solutions, Werth Messtechnik, and many more. “This enthusiastic response from our exhibitors is a continuation of formnext’s outstanding development, which we laid the foundation for at our debut exhibition in 2015,” declares Sascha F. Wenzler, Vice President formnext at Mesago Messe Frankfurt. 

formnext is also proving very popular with newcomers looking to use its innovative exhibition platform to help their businesses succeed. Meanwhile, numerous returning exhibitors have taken their excellent results from formnext 2015 as a reason to expand their stand space this year.

The exhibitors set to attend for the first time in 2016 represent a wide range of topics and countries of origin. Those hailing from China, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and the United States are primarily involved in services, hardware and software, systems and components, machines and related installations, and prototypes. Newcomers from the fields of materials, engineering services, and form making have also decided to exhibit at formnext 2016. The event is thus already proving once again how attractive it is to virtually every area along the entire process chain in intelligent industrial production. To view a selection of this year’s exhibitors, those interested are invited to visit formnext.com.

Along with its innovative exhibition concept, one of the cornerstones of formnext’s success is the large number of decision-makers and developers it draws from all over the globe. The 2015 exhibition attracted expert representatives from many world market leaders, renowned OEMs, and key suppliers – including automotive luminaries such as BMW, Daimler, Ferrari, Honda, Opel, Porsche, Tesla, and Volkswagen, as well as Bosch, Continental, Mahle, and Schaeffler. The aviation industry was also on hand in Frankfurt. This includes its joint presence with Airbus, GE, Lufthansa, and Snecma. Formnext 2015 was an informative event for well-known international companies from a variety of user industries, as well, such as ABB, Adidas, Aesculap, BASF, Boehringer Ingelheim, Ferrero, Fresenius, Hilti, Johnson, Nike, Procter & Gamble, Siemens, Swarovski, Vaillant, and WMF.
