About Metav

This is where the earliest investment decisions are made

The METAV offers right at the beginning of the year a platform for the personal interaction between suppliers and investors. Exhibitors showcase their latest developments and solutions for the production. Visitors early on find comprehensive information to realize their investment plans on a sure and well-informed footing.

A Fair by VDW

The METAV is an international showcase for manufacturing technology and automation. It displays the entire scope of state-of-the-art manufacturing technologies for the metalworking industry – from machine tools, precision tools, automation technology to complete systems made to customers’ specification.

Initiated in 1980, the METAV with its focus on the European markets takes place bi-annually in the even years. The organizers VDW (German Machine Tool Builders’ Assocation), looking back at 85 years of experience in the organisation of trade fairs, are your guarantee for an optimal organisation in the run-up to as well as during the event.
