Biggest Ever Austech to Drive Innovation

14 Apr 08

With around 80 exhibitors taking more than 4200 m2 of exhibition space, Austech 2008 - to run alongside National Manufacturing Week at the end of May - is shaping up to be the largest Sydney-based Austech exhibition ever held.

According to the organisers, Austech 2008, which focuses on high-tech machine tools and associated technology, is a must-attend event for manufacturers looking for value added, innovative, and high-tech solutions.

“This significant growth in the event highlights the high regard in which it is held by both exhibitors and visitors, and we expect this credibility to continue into the future,” AMTIL CEO Shane Infanti said.

“Austech 2008 provides a forum for visitors to not only to view the latest machine tool technology, but also talk with exhibitors about applications that help them provide value added, innovative and high-tech solutions.

“The biggest challenge for manufacturers in this country is to maintain or develop international competitiveness. I believe it is becoming more and more vital for Australian manufacturers to continue learning how to do things better and smarter.”

According to Infanti, visitors to Austech will see the latest in machine tools and all the necessary allied equipment, controls, tools and software and related products that can help them develop their business to the next level.

• CNC machining centres: horizontal and vertical machining centres
