Imtex 2007, Bangalore [24-OCT-08]
Robustness in the economic and industrial environment – particularly within Indian manufacturing, brought out the very best from the Indian contingent at the exhibition. IMTEX 2007 showcased the “world-class” capabilities of Indian manufacturers and further reinforced the ‘Made in India’ brand.
Over 95 per cent of the machine tool industry in India was represented at the exhibition. Participation from India also comprised about 95 SSI manufacturers from all across the country, over a net space of 561 square metres.
The international flavour of IMTEX 2007 was a large overseas presence from 24 countries, representing 47 per cent of the total participation –highest at any IMTEX fair. Given the current industrial boom and consequent surge in demand for machine tools, an array of international players including a host of global brands in the world machine tools were visible at the fair, along with their world-class technologies.
A key facet of the overseas appeal were six country-group participations from leading machine tool countries – China, Germany, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan and United Kingdom. Largest being Germany, which accounted for almost 14 per cent of the total participation at IMTEX and Tooltech 2007.
IMTEX 2007 was all about manifesting recent innovations in technology, design and product development – meant to achieve competitiveness and even excellence in manufacturing.
