THE TENTH TIME IN LEIPZIG: Trade Fair Alliance Intec and Z
Two weeks before the start of the Intec and Subcontracting Fair Z, the exhibitors are in their starting blocks
As genuine industrial fairs, Intec and Z will once again offer a platform for machine tools, manufacturing and automation technology and the supplier industry with more than 700 exhibitors across three exhibition halls, from 11 to 14 March. The latest developments will be presented and solutions sought and found live on site. “Because supply chains and international cooperation are increasingly being put to the test in times of global uncertainty, the double trade fair of Intec and Z, as a European trade fair focusing on Central and Eastern Europe, can facilitate contacts in order to keep businesses internationally successful or open up new markets for them. Topics such as coping with cost increases and greater resilience in a changing economy are also the focus of the trade fair and offer valuable insights,” explains Markus Geisenberger, Managing Director of Leipziger Messe.
