EMO Hannover 2025: Digitalization, AI and Sustainability Take Center Stage
Created on 09.17
The world's premier metalworking trade fair marked a milestone while setting the agenda for the next decade of production technology.
The Event
EMO Hannover 2025 ran 22–26 September 2025 in Hannover, Germany, trimmed from six to five days for efficiency. The 50th edition carried the motto "Innovate Manufacturing" and drew the global metalworking community—EMO 2023 attracted over 90,000 experts, about half from abroad.
The Themes
Digitalization, automation and sustainability returned as focal points, this time compounded by new AI applications. Highlights reported across the show:
- Siemens and DMG MORI showcased an end-to-end digital twin.
- Sandvik Coromant launched smart tool holders with real-time monitoring.
- Supfina presented a new surface-finishing machine concept; VibroCut introduced ultrasonic support for machining.
- MAPAL reminded visitors that classic tool solutions still earn their place.
Why It Matters for Threading
Smart tool holders with real-time monitoring signal where tapping is heading: connected tools that report wear, torque and temperature feed predictive maintenance and cut unplanned downtime. For tap buyers, "connected" is becoming a selection criterion alongside geometry and coating.
Takeaway for Buyers
If you are planning capex, prioritize machines and tooling that expose data to your MES—EMO 2025 made clear that the integration dividend is now the differentiator.
