Don't miss the November 2022 issue of ISMR - you can read it on https://joom.ag/jq5d

In this issue of ISMR, we review the sheet-metal industry in 2022 by interviewing various global manufacturers on their overviews of the year as well as their plans, projects and market forecasts for 2023. You can read their responses throughout this issue of ISMR as they chronicle their paths through challenges, headwinds and accomplishments to keep meeting customer expectations.

On the way, they highlight new innovations; areas of growth; time-saving processes/technologies; the latest market developments and various strategic roadmaps to success. This issue of ISMR also places a special focus on waterjet cutting, digitalisation and coil processing. Global HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) markets for manufacturers are analysed on page 34.

Economic forecasts; shifts; trends and opportunities across Italy for manufacturers are presented in our regional report on page 44. Don’t forget to read our new research news section on page 18. Tooling; bending; robotics; laser/plasma cutting and CAD/CAM also come under the spotlight in this issue.

A wealth of new product, technology and software launches characterised the EuroBLECH exhibition in Hanover, Germany, from 25-28 October 2022. The event covered the entire sheet-metalworking technology chain, presenting 15 technology sectors across nine halls. Visitors witnessed an explosion of new systems and technology launches at the show, as well as a variety of machine, technology and digital process demonstrations.

As well as interviewing manufacturers at the show, ISMR took a booth in Hall 14 and distributed its October issue at the entrances. A total of 38,076 trade visitors from around the world, as well as 1,300 exhibitors from 39 countries, attended the EuroBLECH exhibition. Read our full show review on page 20 of this issue.
