July 22, 2014 2:17 pm

The stage is gearing up for Amtex 2014, the most hyped event as the largest show of machine tools, machineries and manufacturing technologies in the Asian continent. The exhibition could be the gateway to the world of opportunities
 The 9th Amtex 2014 is the glittering event of the year where the convergence of exciting business opportunities, world-class technologies and enthusiastic participants from across the globe are transpiring on a single platform. It will be held from 25th to 28th July at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi.
The exhibition is an attempt to create a rostrum for all the relevant sectors and technologies to interact with industry like aerospace, automobiles, defence, electrical and electronics, material handling etc. The opportunity for the exhibitors is enormous to present brand new technologies to enhance productivity.
Today India stands 13th in production and 6th in the consumption of machine tools in the world as per the latest survey. The country is all set and about to become a key player in the global machine tools industry and is likely to see substantial high-end machine tool manufacturing.
Currently Indian machine tool industry has around 1,000 units in the production of machine tools, accessories/attachments, subsystems and parts. Of these, around 20 in the large scale sector account for 70 per cent of the turnover and the rest are in the SME sector of the industry. Approximately, 75 per cent of the Indian machine tool producers are ISO certified. However, given the current gap between demand and supply, there is a clear need for adding capacities in this sector. The industry is moving towards increasingly sophisticated CNC machines, driven by demand from key user segments.
Indian industry is now ready and all set to expand its reach to the global market and Amtex-2014 is going to provide the space for the purpose. Amtex 2012 had witnessed the representation of 14 countries such as exclusive pavilion from China, Taiwan and Korea, and participation from USA, Spain, Turkey, Japan, Slovenia, Italy, Israel, Singapore, etc.
Starting from the year 2001, AMTEX has constantly gained its position as one of the largest show of machine tools industry which has observed a growth of 300 per cent in this period. AMTEX with well over 1200 stalls is supposed to do a justice to a grand spectacle of the latest advances in industry. It is also expected to provide a superlative stage for interaction between manufacturers, suppliers and users of the growing Indian market and thus broaden up the horizon of machine tool industry. Thus AMTEX exhibition holds tremendous significance for all levels in manufacturing organisations.
Spreading over 149 acres of prime land in the heart of New Delhi with an attachment of 71,290 sq.mtrs of covered exhibition space in 18 air-conditioned halls is waiting for the footfalls from the far off countries to pursuing is expected to touch up to lakhs as said sources. Now its 10,000 sq.m showcased area is the most craved zone for the exhibitors, visitors for the month of July. The awaiting event is undulating with a grasp of hope to make substantial gain and the Asian giants are eagerly waiting to showcase the product into the recent trade development on the machine tool industry.
