VDWF, the Association of German Tool and Mould Makersis again represented this year with a joint stand on which 63 companies are presenting themselves – on an area 120 square meters larger than last year, as the VDWF was able to take over adjacent areas of neighboring stands.

The exhibitors include not only tool and mold making companies, but also suppliers, design offices, software providers and service providers for measurement technology, surface treatment and EDM technology, as well as research institutions and educational institutions – including the Schmalkalden University of Applied Sciences with its VDWF-supported degree programs for the toolmaking and plastics industry. “Everyone is looking forward to the trade fair and is excited to present their innovations and know-how to interested visitors,” emphasizes VDWF Managing Director Ralf Dürrwächter. The association’s organization team is also certain that getting together with colleagues will enable many enriching discussions – even after the official end of the trade fair, when the VDWF stand becomes an informal industry meeting place.
