INTEC Leipzig

| International trade fair for machine tools, manufacturing and automation technology

INTEC is an international trade fair for machine tools, manufacturing, and automation technology, held every two years at the Leipzig Exhibition Center. The abbreviation "INTEC" stands for "International Trade Fair for Manufacturing Technology, Machine Tools, and Automation", highlighting its central importance for the metalworking industry in Europe. As one of the leading industry gatherings, the fair provides professionals and decision-makers with a platform for innovation, technological advancements, and business networking.

Organized by Leipziger Messe GmbH, INTEC focuses on the entire spectrum of modern metalworking. Exhibitors include companies from the fields of machine tool manufacturing, mechanical components, automation technology, robotics, and metrology, showcasing their latest developments. Grinding technology, in particular, has been further strengthened with the integration of GrindTec. Alongside traditional manufacturing processes such as cutting, forming, and welding, additive manufacturing—especially 3D metal printing—is gaining increasing significance. Research institutions, universities, and innovative start-ups further enrich the exhibitor lineup, fostering a dynamic exchange of ideas.

A key highlight of the fair is its interactive supporting program. In collaboration with the VDI, themed guided tours offer direct engagement with industry experts and innovative companies. The program covers a broad range of topics, from automation technology and robotics to process optimization in additive manufacturing. Additionally, the FORUM.interaktiv provides inspiration through formats such as "Espresso Talks" and "Fishbowl Discussions", addressing current trends in innovation, automation, and talent development.

Running parallel to INTEC is the Z Subcontracting Fair, which focuses on innovative and flexible supply solutions for the industry. Together, both fairs cover the entire metalworking value chain, offering an ideal platform for networking and business opportunities.

Leipzig, as a host city, stands out for its industrial heritage and excellent infrastructure. The modern Leipzig Exhibition Center is conveniently located and easily accessible by car and public transport. With its combination of top-tier exhibitors, a forward-thinking supporting program, and close integration with the Z Subcontracting Fair, INTEC is an unmissable event for professionals in metalworking and manufacturing technology.

The INTEC takes place biennially, and therefore for the 16th time previsibly in March 2027 in Leipzig.
