The NORTEC trade fair, a key event for production technology, has undergone a strategic shift in its organization. As of July 12, 2023, Messe Stuttgart and the VDW (Association of German Machine Tool Builders) have jointly taken over the management of the fair, which was previously organized by Hamburg Messe und Congress GmbH. This change represents a significant repositioning in the production technology trade fair market.

Key points about this transition:

• New Leadership: Messe Stuttgart and VDW now share the responsibility of managing NORTEC, bringing their extensive expertise in organizing trade fairs and industry events.
• Enhanced Focus on Production Technology: With VDW's deep connection to the machine tool industry and Messe Stuttgart’s experience, the event is expected to grow further in prominence as a platform for production technology.
• Location and Importance: NORTEC, held in Hamburg, has been a well-established event and a hub for industry professionals, focusing on innovations and solutions in production and manufacturing technologies.

This new direction aims to strengthen NORTEC's position as a leading event for production technology in northern Germany. Would you like to know more about what this change means for future editions of NORTEC or how the event may evolve?
