May issue, NZ Manufacturer includes our second Preview of EMEX 2024. Click on the link below to read.

Because it is the premier trade fair in the country for the manufacturing sector. Where visitors can see the best of the best all in one place.

An example of an exhibitor is Datum Machines Ltd of Wellington, a manufacturer, who has been designing and engineering over 18 months the Series One Gantry Mill CNC machine from the ground up.

This machine is for companies wanting to add CNC automation to their production workflow and increase productivity. At an extremely competitive price.

A labour of love, devotion and lots of money, the machine, an example of great Kiwi ingenuity, is on display at EMEX 2024, on Stand 4115.

As much as it is an event to discuss business – buying or selling, export opportunities etc – it also benefits visitors who want to discuss industry trends and share stories of success.

New Zealand has a rich history of inventions and product development, something that became clear to me a little while back when I produced for this show’s organisers a History of Manufacturing in New Zealand document which went back as far as the early 1900’s.

Today’s innovators, using different technologies and equipment, manufacturing for the needs of the times, have a rich history to fall back on, on the path to success.

So, let’s keep manufacturing strong. We certainly do have our challenges in today’s environment. But they are only challenges. We adapt, we change, we keep moving forward.

We keep making the next ‘big thing.’
