After four days at the fair, this year's Motek - International Trade Fair for Production and Assembly Automation and the Bondexpo - International Trade Fair for Adhesive Technology, held in parallel, came to an end. 1,049 exhibitors from 29 nations presented themselves on around 68,000 m² gross exhibition area and attracted 35,434 trade visitors with their specific product and service portfolio. These came from 90 different countries, which, according to the exhibition company PE Schall GmbH & Co. KG, allows conclusions to be drawn about the high status of Motek and Bondexpo as a globally recognized business platform. "Motek is rightly considered the automation highlight in southern Germany," confirmed Hubert Wicker, Ministerial Director at the Ministry of Economy, Labor and Housing in Baden-Württemberg.

According to statements by numerous well-known and loyal and first-time exhibitors at Motek, the level of trade visitors was at a very high level in terms of decision-making authority and above all willingness to invest. The late fair maker Paul E. Schall's credo was thus repeated: "We make trade fairs for markets and quality is more important than quantity".

Leap into the digital age

As you would expect, the trend topics of Industry 4.0 and Big Data and the associated digitalization of the industrial world ran like a red thread through the product and service offers of Motek and Bondexpo. There was hardly a component, an assembly, a partial or even a complete solution that was not provided with the appropriate hardware and software interfaces for higher-level control and communication. Wicker: “Increasing digitalization is fundamentally changing the way we produce and work. With Industry 4.0 and the advent of the Internet of Things in factories, new impulses for smart value chains and new business models are emerging. Motek and Bondexpo have the right focus here.”
