EMEX
2020
In May 2020 EMEX will celebrate 40 years of engineering excellence. This will be the biggest show on
record in decades, receiving strong media coverage & showcasing technology transformation since
1980. From Number 8 wire to space freight, EMEX has showcased it all. Proving just how far technology
and prowess have come in New Zealand’s manufacturing and engineering sectors.
This milestone event
for EMEX marks the
incredible achievements
companies have made
and will continue to make over
the next 40 years. In this next
generation of manufacturing
technology, we can look forward
to 4D printers, more advanced
lights-out factories, quality
assurance using blockchain
tech and even the fifth industrial
revolution - Industry 5.0. The future
is exciting and we are proud of the
role we have played in supporting
the engineering and manufacturing
industry in New Zealand and abroad,
with the best in breed exhibition in
Australasia.
EMEX 2020 will be packed with
leading keynote speakers, top
innovators, new-age thinkers and
upwards of 5000 buyers all looking
to find the next products, services
and technology to enhance
their business. "We have a great
SOME 40 YEARS OF NZ
MANUFACTURING AND
ENGINEERING INNOVATION
number of initiatives planned to
appropriately celebrate 40 years
of technology innovation in New
Zealand."
If we think back to 1980 things such
as the Walkman, the fax machine
and the first cell phones that came
on the market (we all remember
the ‘bricks’) are today very rarely
seen and in some cases almost
extinct. At EMEX 2020 we will look
back with some nostalgia at what
the last 40 years have brought us
in new ground breaking technology
in engineering, manufacturing
and electronics over these years.
However, we’ll also look at what
the future will bring and the mindblowing
rate of change in our
current digital age. What’s new
today is almost obsolete tomorrow
and there’s an increasing pressure
to do things faster, better and more
efficient to stay competitive.
