Australian Manufacturing Week Melbourne

The Australian Manufacturing Week (AMW) is one of the most significant trade fairs for the manufacturing industry in the Australasian region. Held annually, it alternates between the two major economic hubs of Melbourne and Sydney. As a dedicated trade-only event, AMW is aimed exclusively at professionals and experts from the production and technology sectors. It offers a focused platform for high-level presentations, exchange, and networking. The exhibition is organized by the Australian Manufacturing Technology Institute Limited (AMTIL), one of the country’s leading industry organizations, committed for years to promoting innovative manufacturing technologies and advancing industrial infrastructure.

The event takes place at two of Australia’s most state-of-the-art venues: the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC) and the International Convention Centre Sydney (ICC Sydney). Both locations provide excellent transport links, extensive infrastructure, and high-quality exhibition spaces, creating ideal conditions for both exhibitors and visitors.

AMW places a strong emphasis on forward-looking manufacturing technologies and stands out through its thematic specialization. It covers nearly all key areas of modern production, including additive manufacturing, digitalization, robotics, automation, CAD/CAM, manufacturing software, materials engineering, process control, air technology, welding, as well as solutions for sustainable production and workplace safety. This range is complemented by offerings in plastic processing, heat treatment, quality control, materials handling, and joining technology – all designed to showcase current trends and market-ready innovations.

A distinctive feature of AMW is its clear structure, with six thematically defined product zones that provide targeted orientation. These include Austech – Australia's leading machine tool exhibition – the Additive Manufacturing Hub, the Australian Manufacturers Pavilion, which highlights local precision engineering, as well as dedicated zones for Manufacturing Solutions, Robotics & Automation, and Weld & Air Solutions.

One of the event’s highlights is the exhibitor competition, where a panel of experts evaluates innovative product developments and technological advancements. This competition not only gives exhibitors a prominent stage to showcase their innovations but also offers industry professionals direct insights into the sector’s cutting-edge capabilities.

The exhibition is further enriched by a comprehensive program of workshops, expert presentations, and networking events, designed to share knowledge and foster new partnerships and business opportunities.

Australian Manufacturing Week is an essential platform for anyone involved in modern manufacturing technology. With its clear thematic structure, in-depth focus, and annual rotation between two major cities, it provides a practical and comprehensive overview of key topics in industrial production – tailored for professionals who want to stay at the forefront of technological innovation.

The Australian Manufacturing Week will take place on 4 days from Tuesday, 06. May to Friday, 09. May 2025 in Melbourne.
