EuroBLECH 2020 postponed: 26th International Sheet Metal
Working Technology Exhibition will take place from 9 – 12 March 2021 in
Hanover, Germany
EuroBLECH Digital Innovation
Summit to take place in October 2020
Mack Brooks Exhibitions has
today announced the postponement of EuroBLECH, which was scheduled to take
place at the Hanover Exhibition Grounds in Germany from 27 to 30 October 2020. The
new dates for the next EuroBLECH, 26th International Sheet Metal
Working Technology Exhibition, are 9 -12 March 2021. This decision was taken
after extensive conversations with all exhibitors and partners over recent
weeks and months who have expressed their preference not to hold the show in
October, in light of the ongoing Covid-19 crisis. Uncertainties around travel
restrictions in order to maintain the truly international character of the
EuroBLECH event were also a concern to many participants.
Speaking about the
announcement, Nicola Hamann, Managing Director of Mack Brooks Exhibitions said:
“The past months have been challenging, in particular for the sheet metal working
industry and its related industry sectors. We have seen a decrease in orders of
capital goods and many companies are telling us about their challenges in
dealing with the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. Although we have recently
received authority approval for our Safety and Security concept to hold EuroBLECH
in October this year, we have decided to postpone EuroBLECH to Spring 2021”.
As part of a recent series
of industry surveys, the participants of EuroBLECH indicated their requirement
to network and conduct business in order to pave the way for the recovery of
the industry following the Covid-19 pandemic. EuroBLECH will therefore offer a
virtual hub for the global sheet metal working industry in October: “Following
feedback from our exhibitors and visitors indicating the need to participate in
an event, even if not in a physical form, we will organise a Digital Innovation
Summit taking place from 27 to 30 October, our planned event slot. This Digital
Innovation Summit will provide our exhibitors with a platform to demonstrate
their latest machines and solutions and arrange virtual meetings with
international visitors. We believe it is our duty to assist the industry
through these extraordinary times by offering a market place this year as a
platform for innovations and a starting point for the recovery of the industry”,
continued Nicola Hamann.
The EuroBLECH Team will
communicate closely with customers and partners over the coming weeks and
months and thank their exhibitors, partners, suppliers and visitors for their
support during this challenging time. Further information on the Digital
