Registration phase ended
AMB 2020 is fully booked
The application phase for AMB 2020 ended on June 30, 2019, and the project team is now starting to review the applications received and draw up the first placement proposals for the stands.
The 20th AMB, which will take place at Messe Stuttgart from September 15 to 19, 2020, will once again be fully booked and the entire exhibition grounds will be occupied. "AMB is a firm fixture in the industry's diaries. This is also shown by the high demand for exhibition space at AMB 2020," explains Gunnar Mey, Head of the Industry Department at Messe Stuttgart. But what has made AMB so attractive for exhibitors and visitors over the years? Four companies that were already present in 1982 report on their connection to AMB.
Lothar Horn, Managing Director of Paul Horn, sees a special connection to AMB: "We have close ties with AMB and have grown steadily together. In 1982, we were still a small Swabian company exhibiting at AMB, today we present ourselves as the world market leader for precision tools." According to Holger Hehl, Area Sales Manager of Chiron-Werke, AMB is the centerpiece of the machine tool industry and the ideal meeting place for the sector in southern Germany, adding: "This is where all the world market leaders present their innovations and where we have the platform to show customers and interested parties machining in detail".
Werner Gerstner, Head of Sales at Carl Zeiss, attended the very first AMB in 1982 and is still convinced by the trade fair concept today. "AMB has always set the tone and has contributed to many technological changes." Antonio Bottazzo, Sales Manager at Fritz Studer, can only confirm the development from a national trade fair to an international exhibition for metalworking: "AMB has developed consistently over the years and now attracts trade visitors from all over the world to Stuttgart".
Companies that submitted their application by the deadline of June 30, 2019 will receive initial placement proposals from fall 2019. Interested companies that did not register by the deadline can only be placed on the waiting list for the time being due to the high demand. as
