Intec Leipzig: Trade fair for machine tools, manufacturing, and automation

Intec Leipzig is one of Europe's leading trade fairs for metalworking, machine tools, manufacturing, and automation technology. Every two years, it brings together manufacturers, service providers, suppliers, and trade visitors from industry and the skilled trades to present the latest technologies, manufacturing solutions, and automation concepts. As a combined industrial trade fair with the Z supplier fair, Intec covers the entire value chain – from machines and components to manufacturing automation – and thus serves as an important industry meeting place and networking platform.

Wide range of machines, manufacturing technologies, and automation

The range of products and technologies on display at Intec is vast. The trade fair offers both classic machine and tool manufacturing as well as modern manufacturing solutions with automation, robotics, and quality assurance. The areas presented include:

  • Machine tools for turning, milling, grinding, and machining metal workpieces
  • Precision tools, clamping devices, tools, and accessories
  • Automation solutions for manufacturing and production — automation, robotics, assembly and manufacturing systems
  • Measurement and testing technology, quality assurance and metrology
  • Plants and manufacturing systems for parts production, series production and special machine construction
  • Components, modular construction, supplier parts, and services related to mechanical engineering and manufacturing
Intec at the Leipzig Trade Fair thus covers both classic metalworking requirements and modern industrial manufacturing requirements — from single-part production to automated series processes.

Trade visitors and target groups

Intec is aimed exclusively at trade visitors. The trade fair appeals to a wide range of decision-makers, engineers, plant and production managers, planners, suppliers, and service providers in the metalworking industry:

  • Machine and plant manufacturers, machine tool manufacturers, and suppliers
  • Industrial companies involved in manufacturing, metalworking, or production engineering
  • Engineering firms, production planners, and technical service providers
  • Production engineers, production managers, and quality managers
  • Suppliers, component and module manufacturers
  • Companies that implement automation, robotics, or manufacturing solutions
For these target groups, Intec is a central platform for procurement, investment decisions, technical exchange, and networking.

Technical program, knowledge transfer, and innovation

In addition to the traditional exhibition, Intec offers an extensive technical program with lectures, workshops, and discussion panels. Topics range from manufacturing technology and automation to quality assurance and trends and innovations in metalworking. The trade fair thus serves not only as a marketplace, but also as a knowledge and innovation forum for the industry.

  • Lectures and specialist forums on new manufacturing technologies and automation
  • Workshops on process optimization, precision, and quality assurance
  • Discussions on industry trends, digitalization, and the future of manufacturing
  • Presentations of best practices and practical manufacturing solutions
Intec thus offers a combination of practical technical expertise and strategic exchange — ideal for trade visitors who want to drive innovation and efficiency in production.

Combination with supplier fair and comprehensive industry coverage

Intec is held regularly in conjunction with the Z supplier fair. This combination covers mechanical engineering and manufacturing as well as supply, component and module production. This makes the entire production and supply chain visible — from machines to parts manufacturing to production lines, opening up considerable synergy and networking opportunities for exhibitors and visitors.

Leipzig location: Proven environment for industrial trade fairs

The trade fair takes place at the Leipziger Messe GmbH exhibition center in Leipzig—an established, modern exhibition center with optimal infrastructure, good transport connections, and experience in the field of large trade fairs. Intec thus offers a professional platform that meets the requirements of medium-sized and large industrial companies. Further information can be found on the organizer's website: www.messe-intec.de
