AMT—The Association For Manufacturing Technology and the China Machine Tool and Tool Builders’ Association (CMTBA) have announced the launch of the China Chongqing International Machine Tool Show (CCIMT) scheduled for November 2017 in Chongqing, China. The location is said to have an expanding manufacturing base of domestic companies in addition to more than 250 Fortune 500 multinationals.

The organizers expect to fill 46,000 square meters of exhibition space with an international attendance target of 50,000.

AMT President Douglas Woods says, “We are thrilled to partner with China’s leading manufacturing technology association, CMTBA, to create a world-class manufacturing technology event in the robust industrial city of Chongqing. Our combined research recognizes that Chongqing is a major production hub, and in the past 10 years we have seen more than 2,000 companies emerge, creating a huge expansion in the number of potential buyers for manufacturing technology products. AMT and CMTBA have been friends and colleagues since the first CIMT show in 1989, and this collaboration represents a new level of commitment between our two organizations.”
