The MOTEK international trade fair for handling, assembly and automation technology is the world’s leading event in the fields of production and assembly automation, feed technology and material flow, streamlining and handling technology, as well as industrial handling. And thus MOTEK is the only trade fair to focus clearly on all aspects of mechanical engineering and automation in order to provide users of all sizes from the relevant industry sectors with decisive competitive advantages.

Facts and Figures

With a thousand exhibitors and well over 645,000 square feet of exhibition floor space, MOTEK was able to assert itself more than just adequately in the economically difficult year of 2009 with its multidisciplinary core topics – especially in light of the fact that exhibitors from 20 countries around the world participated and just under 32,000 expert visitors, i.e. potential users, from 60 nations attended the event. This illustrates the well established, enormous importance of MOTEK as an international, ground-breaking information, communication and business platform for investment in automation for production, assembly and peripheral logistics.

The Entire World of Handling, Assembly and Automation Technology

Beyond this, the MOTEK international trade fair for handling, assembly and automation technology is the only technical event which presents the entire world of automation – from components and subsystems to complete solutions. As opposed to events which cover components only, or just present custom systems based on special customer requirements, this provides expert visitors including engineers and users with the advantage of finding interdisciplinary approaches ranging from detail solutions right on up to ready-to-install systems.


Target Groups

This type of highly consistent target-group orientation is one of MOTEK’s secrets of success, which is held at the heart of Germany’s economically strong southern industrial region – in the middle of Europe – and plays a leading technology and business role within the sector. Focal target groups for MOTEK topics include automobile, machinery and equipment manufacturing, the electrical and electronics industries, medical engineering and solar production, as well as the metal and plastic processing industries in general, and their suppliers.
