The leading trade show as a real pioneering work
From March 15 to 18, GrindTec 2022 will present groundbreaking innovations and new theme worlds under nationally established and secure 2Gplus conditions.

Augsburg
– If not now, then when: After four years, the leading specialist trade fair for grinding technology is finally getting underway again. In just under two months, more than 300 exhibitors will use the GrindTec 2022 to present their innovations to the world market. And this under established as well as safe 2Gplus conditions for all participants. AFAG is well aware of their responsibility as organizer of the GrindTec. While three federal states, also in the south, have flatly prohibited the holding of trade fairs, Bavaria, together with 12 other federal states, relies on the now proven safe conditions of trade fairs - and successfuly so! The most recently held trade fairs such as trendset Munich have impressively proven this.

In any case, anticipation for the long-missed live event is great - because one thing has been learned in the meantime and can also be seen in the active participant numbers: No matter how professionally digital formats are made, they can never replace the personal encounter between two people. But, and we are also aware of this, trade shows are increasingly being supplemented (and better) by digital offerings and can thus also help to open up new markets.

Grinding Match – the digital Way to GrindTec 2022

With its "Grinding Match" platform, GrindTec offers grinding technology experts from all over the world who would otherwise not have any access, the opportunity of visiting GrindTec 2022. Via this platform there is also the possibility of actually getting in touch with participating companies. This should please all exhibitors who would currently have to do without customers from certain countries. For this purpose, they will be provided with codes by the organizer, with the help of which their customers will be granted access to the trade show.

GrindTec 2022 – technical and technological Highlights

The focus at GrindTec 2022 is clearly on details. It will map all clusters of grinding and tool grinding technology in a targeted, precise and comprehensive manner, without forgetting the upstream and downstream peripheral areas. Against the background of newly developed grinding machines, measuring devices, automation solutions, innovations for the preparation of cooling lubricants as well as high-precision clamping devices and techniques, GrindTec offers unlimited potential for unprecedented impulses and ideas. This is an important aspect, because the call for fresh business models and processes is becoming louder and louder in the industry. Here, support can come from a wide range of innovations from the software sector, which make the upcoming transformation processes possible in the first place. At GrindTec, the latest versions of various user software solutions will be presented, which are indispensable for the operation and programming of machines, measuring devices and systems.

Visitors can also look forward to innovations in the field of coating technology, trend-setting technologies for cutting edge preparation or innovative laser processing or tool soldering systems.

As before, "smart" technologies form the big bracket of GrindTec. They link the most important processes in grinding and tool grinding technology with each other. Monitoring and controlling production technology via smartphone or tablet is no longer a dream of the future, but it is only possible with a modern network economy. The manufacturers of machines and peripheral systems, of process and tool technology have developed answers to this, which they will present on site.

This can be experienced live at the special show "GrindTec Factory": the entire process chain of a tool grinding operation including the necessary technical interfaces will be installed close to reality.

Trade fair participation for those who decide at short notice

For all companies who would like to use GrindTec to present innovations, meet customers and generate new customers, the organizing AFAG offers the perfect opportunity of participating in the leading platform of the industry, even at short notice. For these short-notice participants, a customized stand is the ideal solution. (Information at: www.grindtec.de). Those who choose this form of participation only need to move into the finished stand. Of course, it is also clear that the later this decision is made, the smaller the choice among the remaining spaces.
