About NORTEC - Trade Fair for Manufacturing Technology

NORTEC is the first German trade fair of the year for manufacturing technology and metalworking. The whole process chain for manufacturing technology will be represented here – from prototype manufacture to the tested fi nal product.

Learn about the innovative services provided by manufacturers, contract manufacturers, suppliers, dealers and service providers! Renowned companies use NORTEC as a central meeting point to work together with their customers and create individually optimised solutions.

This unique concept of the trade fair has successfully proven its worth for more than 20 years. NORTEC is a leading marketplace, an established expert forum and an important networking event for the manufacturing technology industry in northern Germany and neighbouring countries. It covers a broad range of topics, gives visitors important food for thought and provides well-founded knowledge. The participants’ wide-ranging information requirements are also covered by a comprehensive programme of events made up of NORTEC FORUM and NORTEC CAMPUS.

NORTEC is a practically oriented trade fair for trade visitors who are looking for optimal solutions. In addition to its importance for the industry in general, it is also of fundamental value to all educational institutions that specialise in manufacturing technology and engineering, as well as research institutions, authorities, economic initiatives, associations and specialist media.
