METAV 2022 - International Trade Fair for Metalworking Technologies, will be postponed from March to June 2022.
The new date has been set for June 21 to 24. Dr. Wilfried Schäfer, Managing Director of METAV organizer VDW (German Machine Tool Builders' Association), explains: "Unfortunately, the corona pandemic continues to progress very dynamically with significantly increasing numbers of cases due to the Omikron variant. The associated difficult and uncertain planning situation has prompted us to postpone METAV 2022 until June this year." The early decision should help to avoid further costs and create planning security for the exhibitors, Schäfer continued: "We are in constant communication with our exhibitors and know that the postponement is supported by a broad majority. The new date in June is very well received."
Martin Göbel, Head of Trade Fairs at the VDW, adds: "For us, exhibitors and guests always come first. We want to offer them the best possible stage to come into contact with each other and achieve their goals. We are convinced that the postponement is right and that we will experience a successful METAV in the summer - even if we now have to wait three months longer than we had hoped."
