In less than 12 weeks 4,500+ visitors seeking the latest in innovative products will descend on the ASB Showgrounds to attend EMEX, New Zealand’s largest engineering, manufacturing, machinery, electronics and technology trade show.

With more than 150 exhibitors, 3 full days of industry lead seminars, special features, visitor prizes, including the chance to win a brand new Ford and exclusive VIP networking events it’s the industry’s  must attend event in 2016.

EMEX is a highly significant event for the vibrant engineering, manufacturing community. It’s where the whole industry comes together, and its importance is highlighted with the high profile people who make a point of visiting, spending time on exhibitor stands, attending the seminar program and networking with fellow industry professionals.

This year’s event is perfectly timed to help those in engineering and manufacturing find solutions that will grow their businesses and contribute to the economy. It’s encouraging to see from recent reports including Statistics NZ Economic Survey of Manufacturing that manufacturing is growing as total sales increased in the December quarter after what was already a strong increase in the previous period. EMEX 2016 will focus on helping to sustain this growth as we promote the theme of ‘Bringing Manufacturing Home’ and celebrating local NZ Manufacturers.

With just a few stands remaining the event is on track to be a sell out with this year’s suppliers going all-out, ensuring that visiting industry professionals will feast their eyes on the latest and greatest from around the globe.

One example is from Total CNC Products Ltd as they introduce the impressive new Kitamura Mytrunnion 4G. The 4G is a full simultaneous 5-axis machining centre with a maximum work piece size of 550mm diameter and 400mm high. The spindle is a high speed 15,000rpm and rapid speeds in X and Y are a blazing 50m/min. This will be the first time NZ visitors to EMEX will get to see this exciting new 5-axis technology.

In addition, Powerbox Pacific Ltd are excited about showcasing a range of new products including the new Blue Power IP65 range of battery chargers. With a 5 year warranty the Blue Power IP65 chargers offer up to 95% efficiency and up to four times less heat when compared to the other industry standard models. And once the battery is fully charged, power consumption reduces to 0.5 Watt, some five to ten times better than the industry standard.
