preXcon St. Gallen – Focus on Precision Industry

preXcon in St. Gallen is a specialised platform for precision industry and high-precision manufacturing technologies. The event is aimed at companies involved in the development and production of complex components – particularly in sectors such as medical technology, micromechanics, mechanical engineering and electronics. As an industrial centre in eastern Switzerland, St. Gallen, as an industrial location in eastern Switzerland, offers a suitable setting for a format that focuses on technological depth and professional exchange. Precision Industry stands for manufacturing processes with extremely tight tolerances and high repeatability. In many applications, dimensional deviations are in the micrometre range. preXcon picks up on this specialisation and brings together suppliers of machines, materials, software solutions and measurement technology.

Precision Industry as an economic factor

Swiss industry is strongly by medium-sized companies that focus on niche markets. Precision Industry is a key segment in this context. Products from Eastern Switzerland can be found in medical implants, optical systems and electronic assemblies. The following areas, among others, will be covered at preXcon:

• CNC machining and turning technology
• Precision engineering
• Tool and mould making
• Surface treatment
• Quality testing and measurement technology

Technological innovation and digitalisation

Digital processes have long been an integral part of the precision industry. Networked machines, data-based quality control and simulation-supported development characterise modern manufacturing. preXcon in St. Gallen is dedicated to these topics with a clear focus on practical applicability. Among other things, the following topics will be discussed:

• Industry 4.0 concepts in precision manufacturing
• Digital twins and process simulation
• Automated testing procedures
• Data security in networked production environments

St. Gallen as an industrial location

St. Gallen is located in the economically strong triangle between Zurich, Vorarlberg and southern Germany. Numerous industrial companies are based in the region. preXcon benefits from this proximity to manufacturing companies and research institutions. The event is deliberately designed to be compact. Trade visitors will find short distances and a clearly structured exhibitor field. The aim is to promote concrete business relationships and deepen professional exchange.

Networking research and production

Precision industry is closely linked to research and development. New materials, innovative manufacturing methods and improved testing procedures are often developed in cooperation with universities. preXcon creates a platform where industry and science meet. In addition to the exhibition, specialist presentations offer insights into current trends. Topics such as miniaturisation, additive manufacturing and sustainable production methods are examined from different perspectives.

Market environment and international perspective

The demand for high-precision components is growing. Medical technology, electronics and mobility are driving innovation. At the same time, competitive pressure is increasing. Precision industry must combine efficiency, quality and flexibility. preXcon in St. Gallen positions itself as a meeting place for companies operating in this demanding environment. The event focuses on specialised solutions and avoids thematic dispersion. This focus creates an environment in which technical details and strategic decisions take centre stage.

Role in the trade fair calendar

preXcon plays a clearly defined role in the Swiss trade fair calendar in the field of precision industry. While larger industrial trade fairs cover a broad spectrum, this format focuses on specialisation and technical depth. preXcon in St. Gallen combines precision industry with regional industrial expertise and international networking. The trade fair offers a structured overview of technologies and processes that are indispensable in highly sensitive production environments. This creates a forum in St. Gallen that brings together precision, innovation and industrial specialisation.
