The Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers’ Association (IMTMA) is set to organise Pune Machine Tool Expo (PMTX) 2026 from 7 to 10 September 2026 at the Pune International Exhibition & Convention Centre (PIECC), Moshi, Pune. The exhibition will be held alongside Factory Equipment Expo (FACTEQ) 2026, bringing together manufacturers, technology providers, industrial buyers and engineering professionals under one platform.
Pune Machine Tool Expo 2026 to Bring Manufacturing Technologies Together
Pune Machine Tool Expo 2026 will serve as a B2B platform for the machine tool and manufacturing industry, with a focus on advanced production technologies, factory automation and precision engineering. The exhibition will allow industry professionals to explore new machinery, interact with technology providers and understand solutions designed to improve productivity, quality and operational efficiency.
Around 175 Exhibitors to Participate
Around 175 exhibitors are expected to participate in Pune Machine Tool Expo 2026 and showcase technologies across several areas of industrial manufacturing. The exhibition will feature machine tools, metal-cutting and metal-forming technologies, tooling, automation, robotics, metrology and digital manufacturing solutions.
The event will also provide visitors with access to factory equipment, material handling systems, industrial infrastructure, energy-efficient technologies and smart factory solutions. This wide range of products is expected to attract companies looking to modernise their manufacturing facilities.
FACTEQ 2026 to Focus on Factory Equipment
Factory Equipment Expo (FACTEQ) 2026 will take place alongside PMTX 2026 and will focus specifically on equipment and solutions required for new factories as well as the upgrading of existing manufacturing facilities. The exhibition will cover factory infrastructure, material handling, energy-efficient systems and smart manufacturing solutions.
The co-location of the two exhibitions will create an integrated platform where visitors can explore both production machinery and supporting factory infrastructure. This combination is expected to benefit manufacturers planning new facilities or upgrading their existing production operations.
Live Machine Demonstrations to Be a Key Attraction
Live demonstrations will be an important feature of Pune Machine Tool Expo 2026. Visitors will have the opportunity to see machines and manufacturing systems operating LIVE, allowing them to better understand their capabilities, applications and performance.
Direct interaction with technology providers will also allow buyers to discuss specific manufacturing requirements and evaluate potential solutions. The live format is expected to support more informed technology and investment decisions among industrial buyers.
Industry Leaders Expected to Visit PMTX 2026
Pune Machine Tool Expo 2026 is expected to attract business visitors from major industrial sectors, including automotive, aerospace, general engineering, heavy engineering and capital goods. OEMs, component manufacturers, MSMEs and factory managers are also expected to participate.
Visitors will be able to evaluate technologies related to automation, quality improvement, productivity enhancement and cost optimisation. The exhibition will provide an opportunity for companies to compare solutions and identify technologies suitable for their manufacturing requirements.
IMTMA Highlights Demand for End-to-End Solutions
According to Jibak Dasgupta, Director General & CEO of IMTMA, manufacturers are increasingly looking for complete technology solutions rather than simply purchasing individual machines. Live machine demonstrations, service offerings and direct engagement with technology providers can help companies assess solutions more effectively.
The focus on end-to-end solutions reflects the changing requirements of modern manufacturing, where companies are increasingly integrating machinery, automation, digital technologies and supporting factory systems to improve overall performance.
Pune’s Manufacturing Ecosystem Supports the Expo
Pune is one of India’s important manufacturing and engineering centres and has a strong industrial ecosystem. The city’s established presence across automotive, engineering and other manufacturing sectors makes it a strategic location for PMTX 2026.
Western India is also expected to make a strong contribution to the exhibition. Gujarat and other industrial regions in the western part of the country have established manufacturing ecosystems that continue to contribute significantly to India’s engineering and industrial output.
Business Networking and Technology Partnerships
Pune Machine Tool Expo 2026 will not only focus on product demonstrations but will also create opportunities for business networking and industrial collaboration. Exhibitors can connect with potential customers, suppliers and business partners, while visitors can discover new technology providers.
The event is expected to support supplier discovery, technology partnerships and discussions around industrial collaboration. Manufacturers can use the platform to identify solutions that can help improve production efficiency and optimise operational costs.
Focus on Automation and Smart Manufacturing
Automation, robotics, digital manufacturing and smart factory technologies are becoming increasingly important for modern production facilities. Manufacturers are looking for solutions that can improve productivity, enhance quality and reduce operational costs.
Pune Machine Tool Expo 2026 will provide an opportunity to explore these technologies directly from equipment manufacturers and technology providers. The exhibition is expected to help businesses understand how advanced manufacturing systems can be integrated into existing and new production environments.
Free Entry for Registered Industry Professionals
Trade visitors can register online to attend Pune Machine Tool Expo 2026 and FACTEQ 2026. Entry to the exhibition will be free for registered industry professionals, making the event accessible to manufacturers, engineers, procurement teams, factory managers and other qualified business visitors.
The free-entry facility is expected to encourage participation from professionals involved in manufacturing operations, technology evaluation and industrial purchasing decisions.
