Asia’s Largest Exhibition on Metal Forming and Manufacturing Technologies IMTEX FORMING 2024 Began on Jan 19 in Bengaluru
#IMTEXForming2024 #IMTMA #MetalFormingExhibition“With India expected to become a $5 trillion economy by FY 2026, the manufacturing sector needs to contribute $1 trillion and this demands a significant contribution from the machine tool industry. For the manufacturing sector to double its contribution to reach $500 billion the Indian machine tool industry needs to produce high-precision machines and meet the current demand of producing sophisticated parts in various metals like titanium and others. Also, with many foreign companies establishing their units in India, the country could become a Factory of World 2.0”- C.K. Venkataraman, Managing Director, Titan Company Limited
Jan 2024 : IMTEX FORMING 2024 along with concurrent Tooltech, Digital Manufacturing and Weldexpo, organized by the Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers’ Association (IMTMA) began on January 19, 2024 at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC), Bengaluru.
The five-day exhibition covers the latest technologies and trends in metal forming such as presses, bending, welding, and joining, high-speed laser machines, robotics and automation in sheet metal working, additive manufacturing, metrology, CAD/CAM, etc. Developments in forming machinery, near-net manufacturing, additive manufacturing, digital manufacturing, shop floor automation, and Industry 4.0 are also being showcased.
