25-year milestone for ISMR
2024 is a very special year for ISMR as it celebrates its 25th anniversary . It is such a pleasure and privilege to be part of such a vibrant and innovative industry , supporting and promoting its remarkable developments over the years . Acknowledged as the world ’ s number one international sheet metal forming and fabrication journal , International Sheet Metal Review offers truly global and independent coverage .
International Sheet Metal Review magazine ( ISMR ) was launched in February 1999 by the Mack-Brooks Group , owner and organiser of the leading sheet metal technology show in the world , EuroBLECH . The aim for the magazine was clear : to produce the bestwritten , best-designed and most in-depth sheet metal magazine in the market , that was truly international . Just like the sheet metal business as well as fabrication and forming
technologies , it would not be bound by national borders .
Published today by In2 Publishing Ltd , on behalf of Mack-Brooks Exhibitions ( now RX ), ISMR now reaches over 60,000 qualified registered readers worldwide through its print and digital issues . Over the years , it has generated various supporting titles such as the UK Sheet Metal Forming and Fabrication magazine and ISMR ’ s Asian Supplement ( published in Chinese ). It has also released yearly ‘ Global Reports ’, chronicling its individual industry sector reports and updates over the year .
