30th January 2024

2024 is a very special year for ISMR as it celebrates its 25th anniversary. It is such a pleasure and privilege to be part of such a vibrant and innovative industry, supporting and promoting its remarkable developments over the years. Acknowledged as the number one international sheet metal forming and fabrication journal, International Sheet Metal Review offers truly global and independent coverage.

International Sheet Metal Review magazine (ISMR) was launched in February 1999 by the Mack-Brooks Group, owner and organiser of the leading sheet metal technology show in the world, EuroBLECH. The aim for the magazine was clear: to produce the best written, best designed and most in-depth sheet metal magazine in the market, that was truly international. Just like the sheet metal business as well as fabrication and forming technologies, it would not be bound by national borders.

Published today by In2 Publishing Ltd, on behalf of Mack-Brooks Exhibitions (now RX), ISMR now reaches over 60,000 qualified registered readers worldwide through its print and digital issues. Over the years, it has generated various supporting titles such as the UK Sheet Metal Forming and Fabrication magazine and ISMR’s Asian Supplement (published in Chinese). It has also released yearly ‘Global Reports’, chronicling its individual industry sector reports and updates over the year. Registration for ISMR’s digital newsletter is free on https://ismr.net/newsletter

ISMR would like to celebrate this 25-year anniversary milestone with its readers, supporters and advertisers and thank them for their support over the years. Please email us any memories or particular highlights for you that illustrate sheet metal’s evolution over the years and your industry views on: [email protected] We look forward to hearing from you!
