Machining and Forming Back in Brno Again
after Two Years
In September, Brno will be the venue for
the 6th International Machine Tools Fair,
held concurrently with the International
Engineering Fair every even year since
1998. It is the largest event of its kind in
Central and East Europe and is
organised with the support of the
European Committee for Co-operation
of the Machine Tool Industries
(CECIMO). This year’s IMT will be held in
the framework of the 50th International
Engineering Fair.
IMT After Two Years
The previous IMT exhibition in 2006
was attended by 493 firms from
21 countries. The great interest of
companies in presenting themselves
in Brno was attested by the massive
participation of machine tools, and
forming machine manufacturers at
the International Engineering Fair in
2007.
This year’s IMT will take place at a time
of growing world demand for
metalworking and forming machines, so
that its organisers are expecting
a record-breaking participation of
exhibitors. At IMT 2008, exhibitors will
display the full range of machining
and forming technologies, from
conventional to automatic machines
and accessories.

Both traditional and new firms have
announced their participation at IMT
2008, most of them foreign companies.
All the important machine tool and
forming machine manufacturers from
the Czech Republic will naturally be
there, too.
The Association of Engineering
Technology at IMT Again
As in previous years, the main partner
and expert guarantor of the 2008 IMT
International Machine Tools Fair is the
Association of Engineering Technology
(SST), whose member companies are its
regular participants. This association
consists of leading Czech manufacturers
of machine tools and forming machines.
SST has 44 members, who account for
more than 80% of the Czech national
machine tool and forming machine
production.
In co-operation with the Faculty of
Engineering of the Czech Technical
University in Prague and the Institute of
Management and Economics, SST is
preparing the 9th International Conference
archives
on Integrated Engineering focused on
control in company management. Another Brno
event will be a poster exhibition of the
research work of students and doctorands
of technical universities concerned with Veletrhy
engineering, in particular machine tools
and forming machines. Photo:
