FaMeta celebrates convincing comeback

The metalworking exhibition FaMeta 2021 made a convincing comeback after the Corona break. At the CNC Outlet Center in Olching, over 500 qualified trade visitors from 300 companies in the metalworking industry met more than 50 exhibitors from September 22 to 24. The interest was focused on new and used machine tools, accessories, peripherals and software, but also on personal contact, technical discussions and presentations.
On the initiative of G+S Werkzeugmaschinen and the CNC Outlet Center Olching, FaMeta, which used to be held in Nuremberg, was able to successfully establish itself in southern Germany. "We opened our in-house exhibition to new suppliers in order to create a regional metalworking trade fair for everyone," says Holger Kösler, Managing Director of the CNC Outlet Center. "The concept has worked out as a win-win situation for exhibitors and trade visitors." About 50 machine tools were explained and demonstrated. Well-attended workshops and lectures, interesting technical discussions and, last but not least, considerable investment demand resulted in enthusiastic visitors and very satisfied exhibitors. "FaMeta has established itself as a regional addition to the trade fair landscape," says Ludwig Linner of Linner Werkzeugfabrik in Wolnzach. "We will continue to support the concept." Exhibitors included Axa, Chiron, EMAG, EMCO, EWS Weigele, Hurco, Index Traub, Kunzmann, Tornos and Weiler.

With bright weather and the motto "O'zapft is", the small "Oktoberfest" in front of the CNC Outlet Center with alpine lodge, draft beer and snacks was very popular. "With a very consistently implemented hygiene concept, exhibitors and visitors were offered a good mix of security and contact opportunities," says Herbert Schmidt, Managing Director of G+S Werkzeugmaschinen. This included registration of all visitors, 3-G principle, wearing of masks in the halls and permission to take them off in the beer garden. ...
