AMB – International Exhibition for Metalworking is one of Europe's most important industrial trade fairs. Every two years, the Stuttgart Exhibition Center is transformed into a hub for machine tools, precision tools, automation solutions, and digital manufacturing concepts. With over 1,500 exhibitors from around the world and around 90,000 trade visitors, AMB is one of the most important platforms for decision-makers and experts in the metalworking industry. The focus is on technologies that have become indispensable in modern production – from turning and milling to grinding, drilling, and eroding to highly automated manufacturing in smart factories. AMB offers practical insights, strategic orientation, and technological depth – a must for anyone concerned with the future of mechanical engineering.
At AMB, leading companies from the world of metalworking present their latest innovations, systems, and machines. Visitors can expect an impressive range of topics:
Many of the machines on display can be seen in operation at the trade fair – a special highlight for visitors interested in specific applications, process optimization, and investments. Anyone interested in other trade fairs in the region can find a comprehensive overview of the regional event portfolio at Stuttgart Trade Fair.
AMB impressively demonstrates how rapidly the industry is currently changing: digitization, networking, and intelligent systems are now at the heart of modern metalworking. Automated production cells, digitally controlled tool changes, integrated measurement technology, and autonomous robotics solutions—the trade fair offers concrete answers to the question of how production processes can be made more efficient, flexible, and resource-efficient. Data analysis and AI are also becoming increasingly important: many exhibitors are presenting software solutions that collect and evaluate production data and use it for optimized machine control – from predictive maintenance to dynamic process control.
In addition to the exhibition, AMB offers an extensive supporting program with lectures, expert panels, and live demonstrations. The special shows and expert forums focus on topics such as “digital manufacturing,” “energy efficiency in mechanical engineering,” “human-machine collaboration,” and “additive manufacturing in industrial practice.” Universities, research institutes, and industry partners jointly present innovative projects—often with direct relevance to implementation in small and medium-sized enterprises.
AMB is aimed at a broad, qualified specialist audience, including:
This diversity creates a unique industry network that extends beyond the trade fair itself—in the form of partnerships, collaborations, and knowledge exchange.
A key topic for the future at AMB is sustainable mechanical engineering. Many manufacturers are focusing specifically on energy-efficient drives, modular design, smart control systems, and durable components. In addition, the circular economy is becoming increasingly relevant—for example, in the recovery of materials, the retrofitting of existing plants, and the sustainable design of tools. AMB promotes the exchange of ideas on how sustainable processes can be implemented in a way that makes sense not only ecologically but also economically.
With its combination of technological excellence, practical orientation, and visionary outlook, AMB is a forward-looking meeting place for industrial production in German-speaking countries and beyond. It offers the ideal setting for learning about innovations, planning investments, and discussing industry trends.
