Expo Silesia Expects Toolex 2011 to Be
Another Successful Metal-Processing Fair
In Sosnowiec, Poland, preparations
are in full swing for Toolex
2011, the International Machine
Tools, Tools and Processing Technology
Fair, which is scheduled
to take place October 5–7 at
the Expo Silesia Exhibition Centre.
This prestigious event for
the metal-processing industry
attracts more and more industry
experts every year. In 2010,
more than 6,000 professional
and expert show visitors were
very satisfied by what they found
at the 167 exhibition stands
showcasing over 350 companies
from more than two dozen countries
around the world.
Toolex always offers a comprehensive
presentation of machine
tools, specialized tools, technological
equipment, software and
measuring and control instruments,
including world premieres of many
machines and tools. Last year, in an
exhibition area extending over more
than 4,000 m 2 , 181 metal-processing
machine tools on display were in full
operation. The venue is equipped to
allow exhibitors to display large and
complex operating machines, including
entire assembly lines.
The exhibition facility in Sosno wiec
is situated in the heart of Poland’s
most industrial region, which is also
an important scientific centre. The
area of Silesia and Zaglebie is home
to a range of fast-growing industrial
sectors, such as the automotive,
aviation and mechanical engineering
industries, among others. Also,
the Czech Republic and Slovakia are
nearby. Transportation access to the
venue is well developed.

Swisstech Fair Henceforward in Hands of
MCH Messe Basel Subsidiary Exhibit & More
MCH Swiss Exhibition (Basel) Ltd.
has handed over the organization
and operation of Swisstech, Europe’s
Central Fair for the Subcontracting
Industries, to its wholly owned subsidiary
Exhibit & More AG. The latter
company now is in charge of Swisstech
2012, scheduled for November
20–23, 2012, in Basel. Exhibit & More,
headquartered near Zürich, has been
organizing specialist industrial fairs
for more than 30 years.
Swisstech is a key meeting point
every two years for the subcontracting
industry companies operating
in the fields of procurement, manufacturing
and production technology.
MCH—also known as MCH Messe
Basel—has used Swisstech to highlight
the synergies that exist between
the mechanical engineering industry
and the world of specialist suppliers.
It has also organized Prodex, the specialist
exhibition for machine tools,
tools and production measurement,
in parallel with Swisstech since 2004.
The MCH Group assumed full control
of Exhibit & More at the beginning
of 2010. The managers of both trade
fair organizing entities are convinced
that the merger of their forces will
make it possible to position Swisstech
and Prodex in the market more efficiently
and to steer a course toward a
successful future.
