Melbourne, 12 December 2011 – From 8 to 11 May 2011, national and international manufacturers of production technology will be presenting machine tools, precision tools, sheetmetal technology, automation equipment and much more at AUSTECH 2012 in Sydney.

The entire spectrum of modern metalworking technology will be covered at the Sydney Showground and since many of the products are being showcased for the first time, the event, co-hosted with National Manufacturing Week (NMW), attracts a combined total of over 10,000 visitors every year.

“Being present at AUSTECH is an absolute must for all manufacturers of production technology aiming to serve customers on the Australian market and to demonstrate their competence, efficiency and capacity to them,” says AMTIL Event Manager and Austech organiser Kim Warren. “The same applies to users. They require efficient manufacturing technology, comprehensive engineering skills and good service in order to be competitive.”
