The AMB (International Exhibition for Metal Working) was held from 9th – 13th October 2008. In total 1300 exhibitors from 27 countries displayed their products and services over an area of 105,200 m² in nine halls dedicated to various fields. The 2008 event set new standards in many respects: the AMB took place in a beautiful and modern exhibition center, with ideal travel and communication connections. This resulted in a record number of visitors – over the 5 days of the exhibition 80,000 trade visitors were counted, a 60% increase compared to the previous event in 2006. 

OneCNC also made use of the international industry platform to exhibit its products, as well as taking the opportunity to maintain contacts with existing clients and establish links to potential new customers.

OneCNC Germany had in attendance Uwe OneCNC Germany, Stephan OneCNC Germany, Sebastion OneCNC Poland, Michael OneCNC Germany and Bob from OneCNC Australia.

AMB was a very busy show so much so that group demonstrations were often required to cope with the volume of interested customers. As one demonstration was started many others also watches sometimes requiring an open discussion. One such time was like this Uwe OneCNC Germany (second from left) in group discussion.

Here Uwe is demonstration OneCNC features to just 2 guys allowing for more of a question and answer specialized discussion.

Stephan OneCNC Germany (second from right) in his element also with a large group in product discussion.

OneCNC Benelux exhibited at the Efficient Verspanen 7-8 th October 2008. The show was held at Koningshof in Veldhoven Netherlands.

The MACH2008 show was held in Birmingham UK 21-25 April 2008.

OneCNC UK exibited at this show and made it a huge success. Neil OneCNC UK, Peter OneCNC UK, Joe OneCNC UK, Renny OneCNC UK, Sarah OneCNC UK, Michael OneCNC USA and Bob from OneCNC Australia made up the OneCNC team together with a OneCNC long time user Ward WMS USA.

The MACH2008 attracted over 27,000 visitors keen to see what’s new in industry and indeed, to purchase such technology. Estimates suggest that well over £150million of sales were made as a direct result of the show.

Even in 2008, with an economic cloud on the horizon, MACH successfully bucked the trend with a 22% increase in visitor numbers over the immensely successful MACH2006.

Here we see Ward WMS (right) showing a customer the release of the OneCNCXR3 product range.

Many upgrades were purchased by current users at the show which also kept everyone quite busy with demonstrations. Neil was sure pleased to have the extra assistance from such a professional user.
