AMB Stuttgart 2026 will take place from September 15 to 19, 2026, at Messe Stuttgart in Stuttgart, Germany. The 22nd edition of the International Exhibition for Metal Working brings together manufacturers, technology providers and industrial professionals across the complete machining value chain. Held every two years since 1982, AMB occupies more than 120,000 square metres across ten exhibition halls and focuses on technologies used in modern metalworking and production. Its main exhibition areas include machine tools and manufacturing systems, precision tools, measuring and quality-assurance technologies, software and digitalisation, automation and handling systems, components and industrial services.
The exhibition is designed for manufacturing companies, production managers, engineers, machinists, procurement specialists and decision-makers involved in metal processing and industrial production. Visitors can explore milling and turning machines, machining centres, grinding and cutting technologies, additive manufacturing systems, precision tooling, metrology equipment and automated production solutions. Software, digital manufacturing and quality-control technologies complement the machinery-focused sections, allowing companies to examine both physical production equipment and the digital systems increasingly used to optimise manufacturing processes.
AMB 2026 combines its exhibition with a supporting programme focused on current industrial challenges and emerging technologies. Topics include artificial intelligence in manufacturing and machining applications for the aerospace sector, while the AMB Award recognises developments in processes, efficiency and sustainable production. The Start-up Area & Young Innovators introduces emerging industrial technologies, and the Special Show Education connects manufacturing with skills development and training. These activities position AMB as both a sourcing marketplace and a technical knowledge platform for the international metalworking industry.
