A total of 81 exhibitors and 269 buyers on Wednesday (August 8) attended a matchmaking meeting of the High-end Intelligent Equipment Exhibition Area of the upcoming China International Import Expo (CIIE).

The expo will see its largest computer numerical control (CNC) machine tool arrive in Shanghai. The machine tool will be brought by Waldrich Coburg, a German company specializing in industrial machining and large machine tools. Measuring 20 x 10 meters, the machine tool weighs 200 tons. It has been packaged in 29 containers and will arrive in Shanghai after 45 days of shipping, according to a company spokesperson.

At the first CIIE, the High-end Intelligent Equipment Exhibition Area will center on four themes: aerospace, integrated circuits, industrial automation, and robotics, all of which aim to provide top technical equipment and intelligent manufacturing companies with an ideal platform to showcase their advanced equipment technology and promote cooperation and mutual development between one another.

“This year’s CIIE will gather a large number of top-class intelligent equipment manufacturing companies,” said Liang Feng, president of China National Machine Tool Sales and Technical Service Corporation (CNMTC). He added that the world’s leading metal cutting machine tools will be displayed at the expo this November, including DMG, Mazak, EMAG, GF, Makino and Okuma.

Other industry leaders like Starrag, Zeiss and Mitutoyo will also participate in the import expo.
