Automatica and Laser World of Photonics will be held in parallel in future. For this purpose, Automatica will change its rhythm and start again next year. After that, the combination of the two trade fairs will remain in a two-year cycle. According to Dr. Reinhard Pfeiffer, Managing Director of Messe München, Lasers and Automatica, as manufacturing generalists, offer solutions for all industries and have overlaps that can be expanded.

The combination of the dates also means an improved cost-benefit effect for exhibitors and visitors as well as more attention and attractiveness for the thematic areas of both trade fairs.
