GrindingHub 2022 Gains Traction

GrindingHub, a new trade show for grinding technology in Stuttgart, is gaining traction. The event will take place May 17-20, 2022 and the current exhibitor list already includes over 100 companies. “Barely two months after the registration documents were sent out, numerous market leaders have already signed up for GrindingHub,” said a delighted Dr. Wilfried Schäfer, executive director of the VDW (German Machine Tool Builders’ Association, which hosts the event), Frankfurt am Main.

“In addition to the machine manufacturers who committed to participate during the first information round at the beginning of March, many renowned companies along the entire process chain have now joined,” Schäfer said. This strengthens the appeal of the new fair and also encourages other suppliers to get on board, according to Schäfer.

In the past few weeks, the GrindingHub organizers have also presented the trade fair’s concept at national and international round table events. “Attracting almost 118 companies and nearly 180 participants, there was great interest, and we were able to get more to sign up spontaneously," reported Martin Göbel, director fairs with VDW. ‘Corona comprehensive insurance’ is also being offered. VDW and Messe Stuttgart offer free cancellation until September 30 of this year. The organizers aim to showcase the entire grinding technology value chain in Stuttgart — including everything from software, machines and tools through to abrasives, process peripherals as well as measuring and testing systems. “The registration list as it stands already covers all grinding and superfinishing processes on the machine and tool side,” said Schäfer.
