ITM Polska – industry, business and science on a global level
Nearly 50% of the ITM Polska exhibitors are foreign companies. Austria, Belgium, China, the Czech
Republic, Denmark, France, the Netherlands, India, Germany, Switzerland, Sweden, Taiwan,
Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom, Italy – those are just some of the countries represented at the
Fair in Poznań. It is therefore not surprising that the largest industrial fair in our country is more
and more often listed among the most important industry events in Europe.
The purpose of the ITM Polska Fair (June 9-12, 2015) is the presentation and promotion of industrial
achievements on a global scale. Thus the Fair enables entrepreneurs to make a business step into the
future to an extent unmatched by any other event in Poland. The ITM Polska Fair is an example of a
perfect marriage of industry, business and science. It is attended by almost 1,000 exhibitors who
present innovative machines and solutions for such industry branches as transportation,
motorization, surface treatment, railway, welding, iron and steel, metallurgy, plastic metal
processing, varnishing or health and safety. Moreover, the achievements of engineers, project teams
and research centres are also presented – innovations and cutting-edge solutions that are adopted
by industry, enabling to increase the efficiency of equipment, optimize the work in manufacturing
plants and increase the market attractiveness and competitiveness of companies. The ITM Polska Fair
is an important landmark on the way to become a company of the future.
The industry range of ITM Polska includes 7 thematic exhibitions: Mach-Tool (machines and tools),
Surfex (surface treatment), Hape (hydraulics, pneumatics, drives), Metalforum (steel and iron,
metallurgy, metal industry), Weldnig (welding industry), Nauka dla gospodarki (Science for the

Learn the power of innovation – new products at the Exhibition
On the surface area of 9 exhibition halls, new products on the market and the products the quality
and innovation of which has been recognized by a group of specialists are presented. On the stands
the visitors will have an opportunity to see the latest models of laser, plasma and water cutters,
press brakes, machining, turning and electrical discharge, industrial robots, optical measurement
systems, stationary and pneumatic riveters, deburring machines, welding heads or chain blocks.
Visitors to the Fair will also become familiar with the most modern software for production and
machine operation management.
Among the most modern machinery, equipment, technologies and services presented at the Fair,
special attention should be paid to the products whose quality has been appreciated by the group of
experts of the MTP Gold Medal Competition Jury. This year, they have selected 25 products, the list
of which can be found on the Fair website (www.machtool.mtp.pl).
When visiting the exhibition, it is worth paying attention as well to the dark blue triangular signs with the
inscription NOWOŚĆ (NEW PRODUCT), which will surely facilitate navigation for those who come to Poznań to
see the market premieres and innovations. This year's innovations included, among other things, the MX520
MATSUURA brand 5-axis vertical machining centre and the TS4000YS horizontal turning centre by the
TAKISAWA company, which are presented by APX Technologies at their company's stand. The Seron company
has in its offer such new products as the FIBER 20W laser engraver and CNC Seron plasma plotter, while the
BOSCHERT company presents CombiLaser – a tool and laser cutter and Stierli 420CNC/WP – a horizontal
bending press. Innovation can be also admired at the stand of GF Machining Solutions: Agie Charmilles deepseated electrical discharge centre: FORM 200 with the iGAP technology, surface texturing technology, iQ
module and fast Accura-C rotation axis. The IPG PHOTONICS company presents a laser oscillating head and
fibre lasers of the YLS series, and at the stand of the ITA company the visitors will find the 3D HandySCAN
manual scanner. There are many other new products presented at the Fair, so it is worth looking around for
signs that point to them.
The power of innovation in practice – listen to what the experts say
The exhibitors' offer is supplemented with conferences, lectures and live shows. In Poznań, the event
dedicated to domestic aluminium industry will have its premiere – a conference organized by the
publisher of the Nowa Stal magazine: "Aluminium 2015. Business Trends Technologies" (June 11).
The conference aims to identify current trends and potential directions of development of one of the
most innovative sectors of the Polish economy.
A new element of this edition of the Fair is a platform for cooperation and transfer of innovation,
the aim of which is to allow Polish and foreign companies and scientific and research centres to
establish cooperation allowing for mutual use and application of the achievements in the area of
innovation (June 10). The initiative called "Polish innovation for the world, world innovation for
Poland" has been created by the organizer of the Stanisław Staszic Competition for the best
innovative products - the Laurel of Innovation - the partner of which is Międzynarodowe Targi
Poznańskie.
A prestigious event that will take place in Poznań for the thirteenth time already, is the Engineering
Forum (June 9) with its theme oscillating around innovative technology in medicine. The Mechanic's
Day (June 10) will be held for the fourth time already.
It is also worth paying attention to the seminar on stainless steel in steel structures (June 10).
From the perspective of the surface treatment industry, the representatives of which gathered around
the Surfex Exhibition will certainly find the seminar entitled "Traditional and Innovative Surface
Treatments and Constituted Properties of Surface Layers of Machine Parts" interesting (June 10).
As part of the Surfex Exhibition, also the Skills Training Camp is held, which is a contact platform
for technologists and suppliers of the latest applications and their customers, i.e. companies
offering varnishing or other types of surface treatment. It is also a forum for sharing knowledge
and information on the latest developments in the field of surface treatment.
Special attention should be also paid to the seminars dedicated to treatment: "Treatment in
Poland. Market, Business, Innovation!" and the Metal Forming Seminar entitled "Science for
Technological and Material Innovation" (June 10)

means and equipment. This year's exhibition novelty are the solutions for safe warehouse work
The Work Safety in Industry Exhibition is held in odd-numbered years, alternating with the SAWO
International Fair of Work Protection, Fire-Fighting and Rescue Equipment. An advantage of the
Exhibition held under the honorary patronage of the Chief Labour Inspector is the extensive

National Labour Inspectorate and the Central Institute for Labour Protection - National Research
Institute. The 2nd Warehouse Safety Forum, organized by the Warehouse Technology Polish
Association, also promises to be interesting. The participation in all conferences of the HS Exhibition
