Organised by TAITRA and the Taiwan Association of Machinery Industry (TAMI), and established in 1975, it is Taiwan's largest machine tool exhibition and runs every other year. The 2027 theme is "Manufacturing the Next", with metal cutting and metal forming machines, cutting tools, laser, welding and sheet, tube and wire processing alongside three new areas: additive manufacturing, industrial AI and the digital ecosystem, and robotics and automation. The 2025 edition counted 1,038 exhibitors on 6,102 booths and 30,058 visitors over six days, about 4,100 of them from overseas.
