TOLEXPO – 15-18 November 2011

A partnership with the Midest and Maintenance Expo to create:

· a communication synergy promoting the sector

· a technological showcase bringing together subcontractors' and equipment manufacturers' know-how

The 4^th edition of TOLEXPO, the international show for sheet metal, coil, tube and section

equipment, organized by DBR Event will be held at Paris-Nord Villepinte Exhibition Centre from 15 to

18 November this year. As the economic recovery begins, Tolexpo confirms its position as an

industrial event firmly dedicated to the sector and confirms the success it has achieved, with both

exhibitors and visitors, since its creation in 2005.

6 months before the show opens, Tolexpo already has more than 200 exhibitors, among them both French leaders in the sector and the majority of foreign manufacturers, between them there is also Tauringroup which is a world leader in tube and pipe bending machines.

Almost 11,000 targeted visitors looking for new equipment will discover the products and technical innovations offered by suppliers at the show.

At Tolexpo, visitors will find solutions to all their needs, whether they are looking to renew or modernize their equipment, begin using new technology, improve their productivity, bring their businesses into line with standards and regulations, etc.

For the first time this year, in partnership with the Tolexpo show, Tôlerie magazine is organizing a

competition for students in the various areas which involve sheet metal working.

A Challenge which will bring students together: the Tol&Design Challenge has been created to put the spotlight on the expertise of young people who have chosen the various subjects which involve sheet metal working, and aims to promote these subjects and the production chain itself, by bringing students together to work on an industrial project.

It is also an opportunity for the students to present their expertise to industry professionals by

creating finished products - in this case a chair - using precise specifications.

An initial analysis of the applications shows that students are particularly committed to this project

which is closely connected with the world of work. Teamwork, together with the students' fabulous

motivation, gives them the opportunity to bring their apprenticeships to fruition by carrying a

project through from A to Z.

The organizers of Tolexpo, Midest, the global sub-contracting show and Maintenance Expo, the

maintenance solutions show, are continuing to work together in order to create communication

synergies and boost their industry sectors.

The major objective is to create a technological showcase which will bring the expertise of subcontractors together with that of production equipment manufacturers.

EuroBLECH 2010: Sheet metal working industry prepares for the uptrend:

EuroBLECH 2010 shows latest trends and innovative technology From 26-30 October 2010, the 21st International Sheet Metal Working Technology Exhibition
will open its doors again in Hanover, Germany.
This year, the world’s largest trade exhibition for this industry sector will focus upon innovative technologies for the future of sheet metal working.
Enhanced fabrication processes for adapting to changing demand; intelligent
systems and machines for energy-saving and environmentally sustainable production; new materials as well as the latest trends in R&D will be on display.
“The current situation, a period of economic regeneration, demands a great deal of
innovative capacity from every company. After a difficult time, it is important to now set the course for the future by sourcing the right equipment,” explains Nicola Hamann, Exhibition Director EuroBLECH on behalf of the organisers, Mack Brooks Exhibitions. “For industry experts from all over the world, EuroBLECH 2010, with its theme ‘Time for Innovation’, is therefore the first choice when it comes to gaining a comprehensive overview of trends and innovative technology, and to finding suitable machinery and tailor-made solutions”, says Nicola Hamann.

With 1,410 exhibitors from 42 countries and a net exhibition space of 78,000 m2 this year’s EuroBLECH is bigger than the show in 2006, a very successful year for the sheet metal working industry.
“Although this year’s figures do not match the record exhibition in 2008, the
current booking status clearly shows that the sheet metal working industry is on the up again”, says Nicola Hamann.
International participation at this year’s EuroBLECH has risen again slightly, with 46% of exhibitors coming from outside Germany this time. Following Germany and Italy, Turkey now represents the third biggest group of exhibitors. The number of exhibitors from Asia, particularly from China, Taiwan and India, has also increased substantially for this year’s show.
Traditionally EuroBLECH is also a highly international event as regards the visitor numbers. At the last exhibition, 35% of the trade visitors came to Hanover from abroad. A total of 69,400 visitors from 98 countries attended the EuroBLECH 2008 show.
