Amb preview: amb 2026's key events unveiled

New formats enrich the program. AMB provides new impetus to the entire metal cutting industry. As part of the AMB Preview, Messe Stuttgart presented a preview of AMB 2026, outlining the key events of the international metalworking trade fair. AMB will be held from September 15 to 19, 2026, at Messe Stuttgart's exhibition center. Industry interest remains high: approximately 1,150 exhibitors have already confirmed their participation, and the event spans all 10 halls. Approximately 31% of exhibiting companies come from abroad, and a total of 34 countries will be represented. The extensive supporting program includes over 107 events, with approximately 50 speakers. AMB: an unmissable event in the industry calendar for 2026 "The decision to participate in a trade fair as an exhibitor is no small feat. It requires investment, significant commitment, and represents a deliberate strategic choice. The fact that so many companies have chosen to participate is a clear demonstration of the trust placed in AMB. For over 40 years, AMB has been one of the leading international meeting points for the metal cutting industry, and for good reason: it's the place where the industry wants to meet," says Roland Bleinroth, Managing Director of Messe Stuttgart. With 120,000 m² of exhibition space, AMB represents the entire metal cutting process chain. New appointments in the 2026 program: the Defense sector and cooperation with BW_i for the development of international trade relations For the first time, AMB is offering the "Defence & Security Opportunities" format, a platform dedicated to a growing topic. In collaboration with VDMA, Messe Stuttgart is creating a targeted framework to address a crucial question: how can the metal cutting industry contribute to the rapid and reliable expansion of defense production capacities, from individual component production to series production? The format connects defense OEMs and their suppliers directly with AMB exhibitors. Participating companies will present scalable production solutions through introductory talks, followed by two guided tours of selected exhibition halls. The "Defence & Security Opportunities" format will take place on Wednesday, September 16th and Friday, September 18th in a private setting. Participation is subject to prior registration, and spaces are limited. Another new initiative is the collaboration with BW_i – Baden-Württemberg International for the "International Gallery powered by BW_i" initiative. Ten international trade associations will be present at the East Entrance in front of Hall 1. These include organizations from India (VDMA India), Italy (Italcam), Taiwan (TMBA and TAMI), and Spain (AFM). At country-specific Happy Hours, national and international guests will have the opportunity to network and network in an informal atmosphere, exploring the opportunities offered by their respective markets. BW_i will also contribute its own event, underscoring the international character of AMB. The BW_i Happy Hour will be held on Thursday, September 17, from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM, and will include a presentation on Baden-Württemberg as a business and industrial location. Roadshow and AMB Night strengthen dialogue within the sector With the AMB Roadshow, AMB 2026 is bringing its slogan "Where metal comes alive" directly to companies even before the event begins. Over the summer, the project team visited more than ten locations in the region, meeting turners, millers, and machining operators face-to-face and engaging with industry professionals. During AMB, the Roadshow van will be present at the exhibition grounds, offering visitors an additional meeting and exchange point. Another new feature of the 2026 program is the AMB Night, scheduled for Friday afternoon. This initiative is aimed specifically at specialized operators who, after finishing their workday, want to experience the latest innovations and trends in metal-cutting machining firsthand. A special discounted ticket will grant access to both the trade fair and the subsequent AMB Night, during which industry content creators will also be present for a Meet & Greet session with the public. AMB 2026: a program designed for the entire metal cutting industry AMB 2026 offers a rich supporting program, designed to meet the needs and diverse perspectives of the entire industry. "Where metal comes alive" is precisely the concept embodied at AMB, where the entire metal cutting value chain comes together, representing the full diversity and richness of the sector. The VDMA Technology Forum, in Hall 1, will offer practical technical presentations on topics such as the circular economy and cost-effective production. The AMB Stage will feature a different central theme each day: Tuesday will be dedicated to the aerospace sector, while Friday will focus on maintenance. On Wednesday, September 16, the main topic will be artificial intelligence in production. The program will begin at 12:00 with presentations organized by VDMA Software and Digitalization. At 2:00 PM, the panel discussion "Artificial Intelligence in Manufacturing: From Hype to Value Creation," organized by WIN-Verlag, will take place on the AMB Stage. Leading experts will discuss topics such as the use of AI in process optimization, predictive maintenance, AI-supported quality assurance, and the profitability of AI-based projects. Following the panel discussion, visitors will have the opportunity to engage directly with the speakers as part of the "Meet the Expert" initiative, which will take place in the VIP Lounge. Other events on the agenda: from innovation to young talents The Start-up Area, located at the East Entrance, will offer an overview of the latest ideas, technologies, and innovative solutions, while the AMB Award will recognize the most significant innovations and technological developments presented at the fair. The special training show, organized by the Nachwuchsstiftung Maschinenbau and set up in the East Entrance atrium, will make technology a tangible experience: visitors will be able to experience CNC, automation, and digital manufacturing applications firsthand. The Business Breakfast, held in the Region Stuttgart Lounge, will focus on robotics on Wednesday, while on Thursday it will focus on quantum technologies and sensors. The "India Opportunities" seminar is specifically designed for companies interested in developing opportunities in the Indian market. The "Art Meets Technology" competition will also return in 2026, adopting the new slogan "Where Metal Comes Alive" for this edition. The three key themes of AMB – automation, artificial intelligence, and the circular economy – form the common thread running through the entire program and are reflected in the solutions presented by exhibiting companies. About AMB Since 1982, the AMB has presented highlights of the international metalworking industry. "Where Metal Comes Alive" will also be a regular event on the industry agenda in 2026, this year from September 15 to 19. It is the international marketplace and meeting place for metalworking, where the latest products, technologies, innovations, services, and concepts are presented in all their facets. The AMB is supported by the sponsors VDMA Precision Tools, VDMA Software and Digitalization, and VDW Verein Deutscher Werkzeugmaschinenfabriken eV.

Ucimu: orders index for the second quarter of 2026 still down (-25.8%); foreign orders (-15.3%); dom

Riccardo Rosa, president of UCIMU: "We'll have to wait until the next few months to see the full effects of the hyper-depreciation, but we're very confident this measure will last until September 2028." In the second quarter of 2026, the machine tool orders index compiled by the UCIMU-SISTEMI PER PRODURRE Study & Business Culture Centre recorded a decline of -25.8% compared to the April-June 2025 period . In absolute value, the index stood at 47.8 (base 100 in 2021). The result expresses the difficulties that Italian machine tool manufacturers have encountered both on the domestic and foreign markets. In particular, orders collected from abroad decreased by -15.3% compared to the second quarter of 2025, for an absolute value of 63.2. Order intake in Italy also declined , falling 38.7% compared to the same period of the previous year. The absolute value of the index stood at 33.1. Riccardo Rosa, president of UCIMU-SISTEMI PER PRODURRE, stated: “The uncertainty of the geopolitical context—shaken by wars, the Hormuz crisis, and the decidedly worrying attitude of the President of the United States toward international politics—has profoundly undermined the already precarious balance in which the industry found itself operating.” "The decline in international deliveries, given the current situation, is understandable, and we expected it. Business has slowed, but, as is our custom, we've tried to focus our offerings on those areas less directly affected by conflicts and critical issues, diversifying our product offerings wherever possible." "It is certain ," continued President Riccardo Rosa , " that the investment figures and values once ensured by the automotive industry cannot be replaced by the demand expressed by other sectors, however dynamic, such as defense, aerospace, and energy. For this reason, once again, we ask our representatives in Europe to reconsider their decision and adopt the principle of technological neutrality when defining automotive development plans. This approach would allow the industry, and its entire supply chain, to properly manage the ongoing transition, not only respecting the environment but also safeguarding, where possible, employment." Domestically, businesses awaited clarifications on the hyper-depreciation program to confirm their purchasing intentions. Since June 12th, the day all the operational steps were completed, the hyper-depreciation program has been bearing fruit. We immediately noticed a change in attitude among Italian users: orders are starting to arrive. "We'll have to wait a few more months, however, for the effect to be fully reflected in our data, but we're definitely confident. This is also because, in the meantime, we have data from the Ministry of Business and Made in Italy, which, as of July 9th, reported the submission of 7,000 communications on the GSE platform, worth €2.5 billion." MIMIT deserves great credit for having established a multi-year term for this incentive. Its effectiveness until September 2028 should ensure thoughtful planning of investments in new machine tools and production technologies by Italian customers, also allowing us manufacturers to plan our production activities over the medium term. "The hope ," concluded Riccardo Rosa , " is to soon see the Italian market return to the levels it experienced in 2021-2022, when it was worth over €6 billion. This is also because our manufacturing industry needs to innovate to remain competitive in an international context where digital and AI are completely reshaping the rules of the game."
