Sebastian Schmid, vice president at cooperation partner Messe Stuttgart, said: “Grinding is one of the most important machining processes. We are delighted that we have been able to offer the grinding technology community a platform here in Stuttgart for the second time. This confirms that we are meeting an important need in the industry with this trade fair.”
In the visitor survey 42% of respondents stated that they had traveled from abroad, from 75 different countries. The majority came from Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Turkey and France. One in ten trade fair visitors traveled to Stuttgart from Asia in order to experience the innovations in grinding technology.
Compared with the premier of GrindingHub in 2022, the quality of the visitors improved once again: around 90% said that they were involved in purchasing and procurement decisions in their company. Over 80% of decision-makers came to the trade fair with firm investment intentions. 42% of them were already planning to make investments in the next six months. “This should encourage manufacturers for the rest of the year, especially in light of the current economic situation”, said Heering.
The next GrindingHub will be held in Stuttgart from May 5 to 8, 2026.
