TIMTOS, TMTS

A double-first for Taiwan

For the first time, two major machine tool exhibitions in Taiwan, the Taipei International Machine Tool Show (TIMTOS) and Taiwan International Machine Tool Show (TMTS), will be held at the same time as TIMTOS x TMTS 2022. The integrated show will be held from 21-26 February 2022 in Taipei, creating a “1+1 is greater than 2” synergy for the industry and boosting the international status of Taiwan's machine tool industry.

“Total exports of Taiwanese machine tools from January to August this year reached US $1.755 billion, a phenomenal increase of 22.2% over the same period last year. TIMTOS and TMTS, two key exhibitions in Taiwan, recently reached the consensus that they will work together to host both shows at the same time, in the same venue, with the same goal to help Taiwanese companies explore global markets,” explained the show organisers.

Over the years, the two trade shows have been held separately in Taipei and Taichung and kept growing in scale. However, due to the pandemic and venue issues in Taichung, both TIMTOS 2021 and TMTS 2020 were presented online instead of as physical exhibitions. As the global machine tool industry is recovering from the pandemic and demand is increasing, industry players are eager for physical events. Mr. Jong-chin Shen, Vice Premier of Executive Yuan, therefore urged the organisers of TIMTOS and TMTS to work together and maximize trade opportunities for all exhibitors and visitors. This cooperation marks a milestone of unity for Taiwan's machine tool industry.

Aside from metal cutting machine tools, machining centres and metal forming machine tools, the joint TIMTOS x TMTS 2022 will also showcase a line-up of smart machines. Smart machinery is part of the Taiwanese government’s “five plus two” innovative industries plan. The alliance between TIMTOS and TMTS in 2022 will fully represent the development and R&D capacity of Taiwan's smart machinery industry. For further details, see www.timtos-tmts.com.tw
