About EMO Hannover 2007

Smiling faces all around: the six-day EMO Hannover 2007 exhibition ended on Saturday to a shower of accolades. More exhibitors, more visitors, more international flair. "And this, despite our having shortened the exhibition by two days," enthused Dr. Detlev Elsinghorst, General Commissioner of EMO Hannover 2007.

166 500 visitors came to Hannover, Germany between the dates of 17 and 22 September to buy machines, place orders and find out about the latest developments in the world of metal-working. This represented an increase of 4 percent over the previous event two years ago, when EMO still ran for a total of eight days. Even the number of exhibitors - 2,120 exhibitors from 42 different nations - was up five percent, and the amount of occupied floor space was also up by 12 percent, reaching a total volume of 180,158 net square meters.
