ITM INDUSTRY EUROPE, from 26-29 May 2026 in Poland, will feature exhibitions, conferences, debates and training sessions for manufacturers worldwide.
Thematic areas and special zones
The trade show is divided into thematic areas( AUTOMA, MACH-TOOL, SURFEX and WELDING), allowing companies to better identify with a specific industry, and making it easier for visitors to access the technologies which interest them while visiting the exhibition.
“ The thematic zones concept also attracts the support of key partners who, as in the last show, will curate these unique spaces. These include Schmalz( Collaborative Robot Zone); Troax( Safety Zone); Balluff( Demobus Zone) and Pneumat( Pneumat Game Zone). There will also be a DBR77 Zone with innovations for factories of the future,” said Grupa MTP.
“ MACH-TOOL is the machine tool exhibition and one of the most dynamic exhibition spaces at the trade show. Industrial tradition meets visionary innovation here and powerful machines demonstrate their true potential in the production cycle,” it added.
AUTOMA is the‘ Automation, Robotics and Pneumatics’ exhibition covering the automation of production processes and the presentation of industrial robots, cobots and modern control systems as well as pneumatics. Interactive zones will include a Collaborative Robots Zone, a Pneumat Game Zone and a DBR 77 Zone( for factories of the future).
“ The SURFEX exhibition showcases the essence of modern finishing engineering. This is where raw materials are transformed into finished, protected products, ready to operate in the harshest conditions. There will be live
