AMB 2026 - International Exhibition for Metal Working

Since its inception in 1982, AMB has been a biennial cornerstone for the international metalworking industry. Nestled in the heart of Europe, the exhibition serves as a meeting point for showcasing the latest products, technologies, innovations, services, and manufacturing concepts. Organized by Landesmesse Stuttgart GmbH, AMB has evolved into much more than a trade fair, combining the roles of marketplace, knowledge-sharing platform, and networking hub. Its strategic location in one of Europe's strongest industrial regions has made it one of the key events in the global metalworking calendar, with the next edition scheduled to take place from September 15 to 19, 2026, at Messe Stuttgart.

Past edition: AMB 2024

The 2024 edition of AMB took place from September 10 to 14 at Messe Stuttgart, bringing together leading manufacturers, suppliers, and technology providers from across the international metalworking sector. Occupying more than 120,000 square metres of exhibition space, the event confirmed its position among the world's leading exhibitions for metalworking technologies. Visitors explored the latest developments in machine tools, precision tools, automation, digital manufacturing, metrology, software, and production systems while taking advantage of an extensive supporting programme featuring special shows, technical presentations, and networking opportunities.

Looking ahead to AMB 2026

The next edition of AMB will be held from September 15 to 19, 2026, once again at Messe Stuttgart, Germany. The exhibition will bring together more than 1,200 exhibiting companies across ten exhibition halls, offering a comprehensive overview of the latest developments in metal cutting, machine tools, tooling systems, precision engineering, automation, digital manufacturing, industrial software, quality assurance, and related production technologies. Building on more than four decades of success, AMB 2026 will continue to serve as a key meeting place for manufacturers, technology suppliers, decision-makers, and production specialists looking to discover innovations, exchange expertise, and establish new business relationships.

AMB thematic excellence and programs

Visitors to AMB benefit from a carefully structured thematic hall concept that makes it easy to navigate the exhibition and identify relevant technologies and suppliers. In addition to the exhibition itself, AMB offers an extensive accompanying programme featuring expert forums, special exhibitions, live demonstrations, and networking events. This combination of product innovation, technical knowledge, and business opportunities continues to distinguish AMB as one of the most influential events for the international metalworking community.
