After the last edition of the Intec and Z industrial trade fairs could only be held as a virtual event due to the coronavirus pandemic, preparations for the face-to-face trade fairs from March 7 to 10, 2023 at Leipziger Messe are now in full swing. In addition, the trade fair network will be further strengthened - GrindTec, the international trade fair for tool machining and tool grinding, will be held in parallel with Intec and Z from next year. The Intec, Z and GrindTec trade fair alliance is an important industry meeting place in 2023 for production technology in the metalworking, supplier and tool industries in Europe.
"Intec and Z are back and can finally return to their firmly established, ideal trade fair dates at the beginning of odd-numbered years with a full presence and full strength. This means that suppliers and users from the metalworking industry and the supplier sector will be able to exchange ideas in face-to-face dialog at our trade fairs in March 2023 - this is where investment decisions are made and projects are driven forward," explains Markus Geisenberger, Managing Director of Leipziger Messe. "Another plus point for our exhibitors and visitors is that the leading international trade fair GrindTec is starting with us as a new organizer and will in future enrich our trade fair network Intec and Z, which has been very successful for many years. With the world of tool machining and tool grinding, GrindTec further enhances the excellent range of products and services offered by the trade fair network."
The strong GrindTec trade fair brand will be launched in Leipzig under the motto "By users for users". Prof. Dr. Wilfried Saxler, Managing Director of the Trade Association of Precision Tool Mechanics (FDPW): "The 'new' GrindTec concentrates and focuses on everything that makes up the precision tool mechanics trade: from tool development, machining and manufacturing to grinding, sharpening, repairing, measuring, coating and digital support. With this GrindTec concept and the merger with Intec and Z, we have created real added value. On the one hand for the visitors, who can now visit a total of three trade fairs with the associated exhibitors with one admission ticket, and on the other hand for our exhibitors, who can expect additional, valuable trade fair contacts from the Intec and Z visitors." The FDPW is the conceptual and technical sponsor of GrindTec.
