Although this year’s Moulding Expo, which will take place on 21st-24thMay in Stuttgart, will enable the presentation of around 700 exhibitors, its purpose is also to connect companies and toolmaking in Europe. In a message published by the organisers of the fair after the presentation of the exhibition in Slovenia, they highlight the connection within the profession; the fair combines and connects people and businesses, enables the exchange of experiences, dialogue, the search for common challenges, and integration in the development of new products, ideas or projects. TECOS Director Dr. Aleš Hančič, who during the presentation of the fair in Ljubljana, said: "The fair is the most important industrial event for Slovenian tool manufacturers. With the support of the Public Agency SPIRIT, seven Slovene companies will also be exhibiting, and those who do not exhibit at the fair will attend as visitors.”TECOS's participation in the presentation of the Moulding Expo also shows the importance of the Slovenian tooling industry on a European scale.
Dr. Peter Wostner, Head of the Department for Coordination of Smart Specialisation at the Government Office for Development and European Cohesion Policy, stressed during the presentation of the Slovenian strategy of smart specialisation that Slovenia is aware of the exceptional importance of digitising its own industry. We also commit ourselves to this at TECOS. Therefore, when visiting foreign journalists, representatives of associations and companies, special attention was given to opportunities for business networking of Slovenian toolmakers with foreign guests and presentation of the sector in the field. Successful B2B meetings were followed by three tours of Slovenian tool shops, where Emo Toolkit, Gorenje Orodjarna, Bizjan Toolkit, Kolektor Orodjarna, Sibo Group, LTH Castings and TECOS were presented to the groups. Both the organisers of Moulding Expo and participants were impressed by the visits and by the flawless organisation which was also earned us a special trophy.
A successful presentation at the Moulding Expo will also be followed by his visit.
