AMT - The Association For Manufacturing Technology and Deutsche Messe AG Enter into Strategic Partnership
McLean, Va. . . . AMT - The Association For Manufacturing Technology and Deutsche Messe AG are forming a strategic partnership that will bring a world-class industrial automation event to North America for the first time. Industrial Automation North America will be co-located with IMTS — The International Manufacturing Technology Show at McCormick Place in Chicago, Ill., in 2012.
Industrial Automation North America
will showcase products and solutions for production automation,
complementing IMTS’s focus on machine tools, metalworking and
precision manufacturing. “We are thrilled to reinforce the
international nature of IMTS by having one of manufacturing’s
premier trade show organizers join with us for our important North
American event,” said Douglas K. Woods, President of AMT.
“We are taking a major step forward by bringing Industrial
Automation North America to the IMTS campus so that we can expand
and strengthen the range of solutions available to IMTS
visitors.”
Dr. Andreas Gruchow, Member of the
Board at Deutsche Messe, said, “IMTS is a well-established
and highly successful event. As the organizer of HANNOVER
MESSE, the world’s largest industrial technology trade fair,
we bring to this partnership a strong background in automation.
We are confident that this expanded
‘two-in-one-format’ will attract more exhibiting
companies and visitors and bolster recognition of IMTS and
Industrial Automation North America as the continent’s
leading destination for manufacturing technology.”
