An area of more than 180,000 sq.m. will hold the exhibition of the main advances in the field of advanced manufacturing, with 2,200 companies from 45 countries.

75 Spanish manufacturers of machine tools, components, tools, accessories, hardware and industrial supply will attend this new meeting of the sector with an impressive technological deployment, which will occupy almost 7,000 sq.m, becoming the 6th country in the ranking of presence in metres. Since 1975, when the first fair was held, AFM, Advanced Manufacturing Technologies, has been organising the group presence of Spanish advanced manufacturers that attend with their most advanced solutions in advanced manufacturing. Antxon López Usoz states: “The great effort made by our companies is reflected in the ground-breaking solutions, top-class equipment and innovative proposals for our customers. The group presence of AFM companies would occupy all the space of a medium-sized fair. The technology deployment that we are going to experience places us on a par with the best manufacturers”.
