FEATURE EMO Hannover 2025 preview
NOW IS THE TIME TO INNOVATE
EMO Hannover 2025, the world’s leading trade fair for production technology, takes place on innovations, discussions and networking for British industrial production experts
U
nder the motto Innovate Manufacturing, EMO Hanover 2025 stands for innovation, internationality, inspiration,
and the future of metalworking. The trade fair presents the entire value-added chain for metalworking: from machine tools, production systems, additive processes, precision tools and automation through to measuring technology, quality assurance, software, and accessories. In 2024, the UK produced machine tools worth over EUR 660 million, the majority of which were exported.
In addition to the automotive and mechanical engineering industries, the most important customer groups for British manufacturers include the aerospace and medical technology sectors. As the largest customers in the metalworking sector, they are also particularly well represented as visitor groups at EMO. With 13 companies registered (correct at time of going to press), the UK will once again be prominently represented at EMO 2025. Companies including Renishaw, Matrix, Castrol, Vision Engineering, Filtermist and CloudNC will participate.
The EMO event will focus on global
megatrends. Similar challenges can be seen everywhere: competition is intensifying. Investors are taking a wait-and-see approach. Costs are rising. The demand for sustainable products is increasing. The shortage of skilled workers is also making advances more intelligence and additive manufacturing necessitates continuous advanced training. During EMO 2025 almost 1,400 exhibitors
from 35 countries will present solutions to these challenges. Experts will discuss intelligence, and sustainability, and examine their progress in metalworking. and quality in the production process. They are one of the main investment drivers

numerous EMO exhibitors. Automation extends from simple solutions such as pallet changers and handling systems through to the use of robots and autonomous factories with self-driving systems. Visitors to EMO 2025 can look forward to a wide range of automation solutions, including the joint stand Cobot Area. Collaborative robots, their potential uses, and applications will be presented there. They include grippers, machine vision, measuring systems, software, industrial electronics, feed systems, and much more besides. A large number of countries are focusing on measures for greater climate protection and investments in the green transformation of their industry. In the UK, billions are being spent on support measures to decarbonise the country. These include hydrogen projects, CO2 capture and green steel. The focal points of sustainability in
production are lower energy and material consumption, and the introduction of a recycling economy. “Numerous individual measures are achieving the desired objective in this respect. Investments in new machines lead, for example, to energy savings of around 25 percent,” said Markus Heering, Executive Director of the German Machine Tools Builders’ Association (VDW), the organiser of EMO. The CO2 footprint is thereby reduced. Modern electric motors and innovative drive technology save a considerable amount of electricity compared with the predecessor generation. Within the Sustainability Area, exhibitors will provide information on trends in energy
recycling, and lifecycle concepts.
Digitalisation and networking have long been has now been added in order to speed up data analysis, achieve higher productivity, and develop new business models. The semiconductor industry is playing a key role in the development and use of digital technologies. Semiconductors make it possible for users to design their production processes more intelligently by harnessing the Internet of Things (IoT) and AI. They create processes, facilitate real-time monitoring and control of machines and processes, and also enable predictive maintenance. The AI + Digitalisation Area during EMO 2025 will show the latest networking methods coupled with for manufacturers from the UK to highlight their Advances in all three areas are stimulating investments and boosting demand for production technology. Organisers VDW will also cover important topics relating to metalworking. These Additive Manufacturing joint stand. At the Special Youth Stand, the Mechanical Engineering Youth Foundation will also show how training can best be oriented towards the current demands in technology and digitalisation in companies.
Established in 1975, EMO will celebrate its 50th anniversary this year.
