The tool industry appears confident again
after a mood of crisis lasting two years
On 19th September 2011, EMO Hannover,
the world’s leading trade fair for
the world of metalworking technology,
will be opening its gates. For six
days, the city of Hannover will be the
center of attraction and meeting place
for production specialists from across
the globe.
Around 2,000 companies from 38 countries
will be presenting their performance capabilities
and innovative strength to top-qualified
specialists at the show. This year‘s EMO
Hannover has the motto „More than Machine
Tools“. That applies both to the products and
to the event as a whole.
„EMO Hannover 2011 is the most important
date this year for the precision tool industry,“
confirms Dr. Wolfgang Sengebusch, Managing
Director of the specialist association Precision
Tools within the German Engineering Federation
VDMA at the EMO press forum in Varel. He
added: „Industry is currently in good health,
but the delight experienced over the economic
upturn is not completely untarnished.“
This is the case because manufacturers of precision
tools are once again being increasingly
confronted by exorbitant rises in raw material
costs on a broad front. A particularly steep rise
has occurred in the costs for APT, a raw material
for tungsten carbide: due to artificial shortage
and high demand, the costs for this material
have more than doubled within a year
according to Metal Bulletin. Alloyed steels and
electric current are also becoming more and
more expensive and are putting a burden on
companies at least in the short term.
Currently and in the medium term, the industry
is seeking one response to this situation
in the development of new, innovative solutions.
As a result, the industry‘s presentation
at EMO 2011 will be marked by new tool deve-

lopments for machining lightweight construction
materials and to improve energy and raw
material efficiency in production processes.
Sengebusch: „The orders received during the
first six months of this year show that the German
tool manufacturers have been able to
follow up seamlessly on the successful year
2010. For the current year, we expect a rise in
production of 17 percent and we anticipate a
very lively EMO in Hannover.“
