From a business viewpoint, AMB is supported by the Precision Tools and Software sectors of the German Engineering Federation (VDMA), as well as the German Machine Tool Builders' Association (VDW).

The AMB exhibition itself will be primarily focusing on metalcutting technology and will encompass machine tools, physico-chemical machine tools and precision tools. Exhibitors will also be showcasing innovative products and developments in metrology, robotics, software, tooling and workholding, automation as well as component parts, components and accessories.

Logical hall layout will make navigation simple: halls 1 and 2 will house precision tools; hall 4 will showcase software and engineering, control systems and additional equipment; hall 6 will showcase sawing, drilling and gear cutting machines; hall 8 will be displaying grinding and deburring machines; while Halls 3, 5, 7 and 9 will be presenting lathes, milling machines and machining centres.

In addition to the wealth of technological innovation on display, AMB will also be offering an accompanying programme of events in collaboration with renowned associations, research institutes and universities. For the visitor, this programme will provide solutions to many everyday production issues and will focus on productivity and more efficient manufacturing methods. The programme will also provide advice and guidance for individuals looking to embark on a career in manufacturing and engineering.
