Hannover Messe USA - 70 years in the making

For the first time in its 70 year history, the world’s leading industrial trade show, HANNOVER MESSE, was produced outside of Germany. In fall 2018, HANNOVER MESSE USA was produced in Chicago alongside IMTS.

From its start in 1947, HANNOVER MESSE was created to help the German economy and manufacturing recover, and its success reflects the economic miracle for post war Germany and Western Europe.

Today, the introduction of HANNOVER MESSE USA will highlight the continuing importance of manufacturing in the North American economy, and provide a platform for US companies to reach a global audience and see the latest solutions tailored to the needs of the North American market.

HANNOVER MESSE and HANNOVER MESSE USA, are at the forefront of showcasing innovations in the factory of the future: cobots, industrial energy systems, Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) or Industry 4.0 and related applications such as predictive maintenance, more efficient use of raw materials, faster time to market, and other trends in industrial manufacturing.
