It has already been over a week. TechniShow 2026. The exhibition was a success and HTM Nederland thanks everyone who visited our stand!

First day of TechniShow a real success! Today, we had the pleasure of explaining who HTM Nederland is and what we do to many people. Great conversations that hold much promise for the coming days. Come to our stand in hall 10 and over a cup of coffee, we'll have great conversations with you too!

The first edition of the 𝗕𝗮𝗮𝗻𝗯𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗷 is over and what a successful evening it was! Job seekers, interested parties, and Twente manufacturing companies came together in De Twentse Bierbrouwerij for accessible conversations and new opportunities. During the event, various companies from the Twente manufacturing industry were ready to connect with new and existing talent.

What you see here is already running. During Vakbeurs TechniShow 2026, 22 technology partners at the Factory of the Future theme square will show how production can function autonomously, smarter, more efficiently and more sustainably: in one fully integrated shop floor. Machines, software and professionals work together in a production environment. Everything is connected: from order and planning to production, measurement and insight on the shop floor. This creates predictable production in a world that is constantly changing.

Visit Baanbrouwerij if you want a fun and engaging introduction to the many possibilities in the world of technology. See you there!

Sustainable is the first word that comes to mind when you see these refurbished machines. Both have been in use for decades and will now last for decades more. The engineers were already doing an excellent job back then, which is why the mechanical foundation is still super stable. Now, back to the client: an aircraft manufacturer from Germany

Today marked the first meeting of the FPT Factory of the Future. We experienced an inspiring start with Ires Veerman and the 22 participating companies. These participants are preparing for the FPT "Factory of the Future" square at TechniShow, where they will demonstrate how production can be autonomous, smarter, more efficient, and more sustainable. From connected machines and robotics to AI applications. In less than two months, we will meet live at TechniShow 2026! A great opportunity to experience the 3 autonomous production lines in action together.
