After the pandemic, the global machine tool industry and professionals from around the world are showing significant interest in TIMTOS 2023. According to the organizer TAITRA, the show’s total number of international visitor registration has exceeded 3,000 from over 80 countries/regions, which is an encouraging indicator of the recovery of both Taiwan’s machine tool industry and MICE industry in early 2023.

TAMI Chairman Larry Wei gave a warm welcome to the international visitors reunited at TIMTOS 2023. Wei expressed confidence that both foreign and domestic visitors would be impressed by the vitality and resilience of Taiwan machine tool manufacturers at TIMTOS this year. Machine tools manufacturers nowadays are devoted to reducing carbon emissions instead of reducing costs alone. The optimization of equipment and services to achieve net-zero goals will be the key driving force for the growth of orders, added Wei.

Three brand-new themed areas are also added at TWTC Hall 1 to feature “Advanced Metalworking Technology,” “Additive Manufacturing,” and “Future Manufacturing.”
