Stand allocation is in full swing for EuroBLECH 2024, this year’s global flagship event on sheet metalworking. Pre-bookings have substantially increased, and the show is now open to new exhibitor enquiries. The previous EuroBLECH edition in 2022 marked a significant milestone in the recovery of the sheet metal industry, featuring 1,300 exhibitors from 39 countries over a net exhibition space of 86,136 square metres.
