Supplier and user markets are taking care of things all by themselves in the difficult year 2010: Despite all of the gloomy predictions, the MOTEK international trade fair for assembly, handling and automation technology is positioning itself at the forefront even without taking its complementary event into account, namely the BONDexpo trade fair for industrial bonding technology, and will once again live up to its reputation as a leading international trade fair for manufacturing and assembly automation. At the moment, 730 exhibitors from inside and outside of Germany have already made firm bookings for MOTEK alone, and together with 60 who have registered for BONDexpo the 800 figure has nearly been reached, and there’s still plenty of time for further canvassing until the event opens on the 13th of September, 2010!
Worldwide Number 1 with More than 800 Exhibitors
The situation is looking just as good where net exhibition floor space is concerned – with a current figure of 296,000 square feet, roughly 90% of the hall space available for MOTEK has already been allocated. BONDexpo will occupy an addition 16,000 square feet, so that a total of more than 645,000 square feet of gross exhibition floor space will be required. A look at MOTEK’s website at www.motek-messe.de is recommended in order to eliminate any remaining doubt about MOTEK’s standing as the international technology and user platform for production and assembly streamlining through automation. The exhibitor list and floor plans for halls 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 can be viewed there by all interested parties. With the help of this type of open communication, private trade fair promoters P. E. Schall GmbH & Co. KG are fostering more transparency for figures published by event organisers with regard to numbers of exhibitors and participating companies, as well as gross and net exhibition floor space.

Rainer Bachert, longstanding project manager for MOTEK and BONDexpo, says the following in this respect: “We want to set a trend here, because dubious numbers and rumours are far too commonplace. We don’t play this game – we simply let the numbers speak for themselves, which can be verified by anyone.” As already indicated above, alone the market decides on the importance of a trade fair, and we’ve accordingly been able to ascertain that with a final figure of significantly more than 800 exhibitors we’re well ahead of the game, but we’re not looking down at the others. Emphasis is placed upon global acceptance of MOTEK as the world’s leading trade fair for assembly, handling and automation technology, amongst other factors also by the BONDexpo trade fair for industrial bonding technologies: BONDexpo is opening up the users’ horizons in a meaningful, because practically oriented fashion, in all relevant areas to include bonding, joining and fastening of parts to assemblies, as well as assemblies to subsystems and complete devices.
