The 26th edition of the International Sheet Metal Working Technology Exhibition, EuroBLECH 2020, will take place from 27th – 30th October 2020 at the Hanover Exhibition Grounds in Germany. The show organisers, Mack Brooks Exhibitions, have now announced the expansion of exhibition space for EuroBLECH 2020 with the addition of a ninth hall for the first time in its history. This reflects a further increase in exhibition space compared to the previous event in 2018, which covered a total of 89,800m2.
“Around nine months ahead of the show the demand for stand space continues to be very strong. With the directly neighbouring hall 26, we are now able to offer additional stand space for the exhibition to meet the demand of exhibitors to display their latest machines in the various technology sectors. The additional hall will host exhibitors of joining technology, as well as surface and tool technology, which have previously been located in hall 13. The ninth hall is giving us the possibility to assign stand space to additional exhibiting companies within the entire sheet metal working technology chain represented at EuroBLECH. The growth to a ninth exhibition hall reflects the increasing demand for stand space at the leading industry event and offers even more capacity for businesses to present their innovations to an international audience,” explains Evelyn Warwick, exhibition director of EuroBLECH, on behalf of the organiser Mack Brooks Exhibitions.
Currently, more than 95,000m2 of net exhibition space have been booked or reserved at the world’s leading sheet metal working technology exhibition. This represents an increase of almost 6% in stand space compared to the previous show in 2018. The biggest exhibitor countries include Germany, Italy, Turkey, China, Switzerland, the Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, Great Britain and the USA.
