After four eventful days at the trade fair, METAV 2022 closed its doors. Dr. Wilfried Schäfer, Managing Director of the organizer VDW (German Machine Tool Builders' Association): "The March date was impossible to keep due to the pandemic, which is why we were forced to postpone to June. We have seen a METAV under more difficult conditions that cannot be measured by the usual standards. We are doing everything we can to bring METAV 2024 back to its usual level."
