Under clear skies, the doors opened and visitors arrived early to the first day of EMEX 2012.

Drawn to the latest in manufacturing and engineering equipment, technology and services, visitors found plenty to see from race cars to the latest in machine tools and highly sophisticated computer software.

It is well worth your while to visit and catch up with what is new in the marketplace, to visit the OEM’s like Axiam and ACS and sit in on the business talks which take you all the way from better business practices, the role of HERA in the New Zealand manufacturing environment, enhancing staff productivity, to managing your assets.

Your very next equipment purchase may well come from this major industry trade fair which has been at the forefront of showcasing the needs of manufacturers for a number of years now.

EMEX 2012 is being held from May 1 – 3 and is being held at ASB Showgrounds, Greenlane with visitor hours 9.00am – 6.00pm.
