AMB 2026: High exhibitor participation and demand

Under the motto "Where metal comes alive", AMB will remain a strong driving force for the industry in 2026: Demand from exhibiting companies is high and, as in 2024, all ten available exhibition halls at the Stuttgart Trade Fair Center are occupied. "Despite economic challenges, also on the part of the exhibiting companies, it is clearly noticeable that AMB remains an important anchor trade fair for metal cutting and that Stuttgart is an attractive location for business and personal networking," emphasizes Romy Arnold, Project Manager AMB. AMB has been presenting the highlights of the international metalworking industry since 1982. It is the marketplace and meeting place for metalworking, where the latest products, technologies, innovations, services and concepts are presented in all their facets. AMB is supported by the conceptual sponsoring associations VDMA Precision Tools, VDMA Software and Digitalization and VDW German Machine Tool Builders' Association.

All exhibiting companies at AMB 2026 can now be accessed via the online exhibitor directory on the AMB website. The filter function by application area has been expanded. The filter helps visitors to search for topics and applications. With just a few clicks, exhibiting companies can be found that are presenting exhibits on the following topics and have corresponding experts on site: Automotive and vehicle construction, processing of materials, digitalization and artificial intelligence, electronics manufacturing, maintenance and service, circular economy and sustainability, aerospace, medical technology, defence and defence technology as well as tool and mould making. The trade fair grounds at Messe Stuttgart will once again be clearly thematically structured for AMB 2026, making it particularly efficient.
