Hannover/Chicago. The United States is Germany’s number one trading
partner for first time in 40 years. Total trade volume reached 173 billion
euros
in
2015,
and
a
recent
Deloitte
study
indicates
that
German
manufacturers see the U.S. as the driver of the world economy. Deutsche
Messe’s five industrial trade fairs that are co-located with IMTS (12–17
September 2016; McCormick Place, Chicago) confirm the renewed interest
from Europe’s largest economy: 20 percent of the more than 400 exhibiting
companies are based in Germany. With 48 exhibitors, the German Pavilion
is more than two times bigger compared to 2014.

“Re-industrialization and a lower euro exchange rate have generated growing
demand for ‘Made in Germany’,” said Wolfgang Pech, senior vice president
at Deutsche Messe. “The latest statistics from the German Engineering
Federation
confirm
this:
in
the
first
three
quarters
of
2015,
German
machinery and plant manufacturers exported products worth almost 13 billion
euros to the U.S. Many of our German customers expect substantial sales
growth in America in the near future, so it is no wonder that German
participation in our events in Chicago has spiked. We provide a great
platform for meeting current and new customers.”
Collectively, the five events – Industrial Automation North America, MDA
North America, ComVac North America, Industrial Supply North America, and
Surface Technology North America – showcase exhibiting companies from 22
countries, including such well-known names as B&R Industrial Automation,
Balluff, Beckhoff Automation, Delta, Festo, Harting, Hawe Hydraulik, Hiwin,
Igus, Lapp, Mitsubishi Electric Automation, Phoenix Contact, Rollon, Rittal,
Rockwell
Automation,
THK,
Wittenstein,
and
Yaskawa.
In
addition
to
Germany, China, Holland, Italy, and South Korea contribute country pavilions
and the National Fluid Power Association presents its members in the IFPE
Fluid Power Zone.
Industrial Automation North America unites Germany’s Industrie 4.0 with
America’s Industrial Internet of Things: numerous exhibitors present solutions
that integrate data from the plant floor with enterprise planning systems to

maximize production efficiency. Collaborative robots also take center stage,
demonstrating that they can work safely with humans and perform an
expanded range of tasks such as assembly, grinding and deburring.
At MDA North America, the trend is single sourcing as exhibitors showcase
process improvements in power transmission and control and fluid technology
as well as performance-monitoring sensors that improve quality and increase
safety.

Combined, IMTS and Deutsche Messe’s events will feature more than 2,000
exhibiting companies on 1.3 million square feet of net display area. AMT,
organizer of IMTS, expects more than 120,000 registrants. “Orders for
manufacturing equipment and machinery in the U.S. are expected to bounce
back towards the end of 2016, so we expect to see many manufacturers in
Chicago looking to upgrade their factories and plants,” says Pech.
Another highlight is the first-time Hannover Lounge – a cooperative effort by
Deutsche Messe, Hannover Marketing & Tourismus, hannoverimpuls, and
Hannover Airport – that promotes Hannover, Germany, as a business and
