FMB 2020
Subcontracting fair canceled
The mechanical engineering subcontracting trade fair FMB will not take place this year. The organizers announced that the next edition is planned for November 2021.
Right into October, the organizers of the FMB - Zuliefermesse Maschinenbau were optimistic that they would be able to stage a successful, informative and safe trade fair. More than 300 exhibitors were looking forward to a new start to trade fair activities, and visitor registrations were encouraging.
The picture changed dramatically with the sharp rise in infection figures. The organizers acted in good time and offered exhibitors the opportunity to transfer their bookings to the FMB 2021. Almost all exhibitors accepted this offer, so there is already a very strong exhibitor base for the FMB 2021. This approach was confirmed by the lockdown that has now been imposed on the trade fair industry.
The next FMB will take place from November 10-12, 2021 at the Bad Salzuflen Exhibition Center in the familiar form, supplemented by new hybrid formats. Exhibitors and interested parties can still use the international cooperation exchange of B2B matchmaking. It is organized by NRW.Bank and Zenit GmbH in the NRW.Europa network in cooperation with Kreiswirtschaftsförderung Lippe. Access remains open on the FMB website and the matchmaking process for initiating contacts takes place entirely digitally.
