About METAVAK 2026

METAVAK 2026 is the leading annual trade exhibition for the Dutch metalworking and manufacturing industry, providing a dedicated platform for professionals involved in metal processing, machining, industrial automation, precision engineering, and production technologies. Scheduled to take place from 6–8 October 2026 at Evenementenhal Gorinchem, Netherlands, the exhibition brings together manufacturers, importers, wholesalers, machine builders, technology providers, and production specialists to explore the latest innovations transforming modern metal manufacturing.

Recognised as the largest annual trade event for metalworking professionals in the Netherlands, METAVAK serves as a central meeting point where the complete manufacturing ecosystem comes together to discover new technologies, strengthen business relationships, and exchange technical knowledge. The exhibition focuses on practical manufacturing solutions that improve productivity, efficiency, precision, automation, and sustainability while addressing the evolving needs of today's metal production industry.

The exhibition showcases a comprehensive range of products and services, including CNC machinery, machining centres, sheet metal processing equipment, cutting tools, industrial automation, robotics, CAD/CAM software, measurement and inspection systems, welding technologies, surface finishing solutions, industrial fluids, additive manufacturing, quality control equipment, and smart factory technologies. Live machinery demonstrations and hands-on technical presentations allow visitors to experience new manufacturing solutions in real-world production environments.

As manufacturers continue investing in Industry 4.0, digitalisation, automation, AI-driven production, and sustainable manufacturing processes, METAVAK provides exhibitors with an outstanding opportunity to present innovative products, launch new technologies, and engage directly with business owners, production managers, engineers, procurement specialists, and manufacturing decision-makers actively seeking solutions that improve operational performance. The exhibition's strong regional focus combined with its growing international participation makes it an important business platform for companies looking to expand their presence in the Benelux manufacturing market.

A unique aspect of METAVAK is its emphasis on practical knowledge sharing and direct interaction between exhibitors and visitors. Throughout the exhibition, attendees can participate in expert presentations, technical sessions, networking activities, and live product demonstrations while discussing manufacturing challenges with industry specialists. Co-located with Welding Week, the event provides visitors with an even broader overview of manufacturing technologies covering welding, joining, fabrication, machining, automation, and industrial production solutions.

Whether your company manufactures machine tools, industrial automation systems, CNC equipment, precision measuring instruments, production software, robotics, metalworking consumables, or engineering solutions, METAVAK 2026 offers direct access to qualified buyers, manufacturers, OEMs, production engineers, distributors, and industrial decision-makers looking to invest in next-generation manufacturing technologies.
