MTO Days 2026 to Debut Alongside CastForge and Battery Show Europe in Stuttgart

Stuttgart, Germany – With the Make-To-Order Days, or MTO Days for short, a brand-new event format will be launching in Stuttgart. Scheduled for June 9-10, 2026, this new trade fair for buyers interested in precision tools, make-to-order production, and metal cutting will be targeting decision-makers and buyers from innovative industries such as mechanical engineering, automotive engineering, and renewable energies. The main focus, of course, will be on order-related precision manufacturing—an area currently under enormous pressure to innovate and adapt.

Addressing Manufacturing Industry Challenges

“Technological upheavals, geopolitical challenges and the rapid transformation of entire branches of industry are not making life easy for many manufacturing companies,” explains Sebastian Schmid, Vice President, Messe Stuttgart. “With the Make-to-Order Days, we are creating a platform that will focus specifically on these changes and provide industries with an appropriate response to requirements.”

MTO Days will bring together suppliers of precision manufacturing technology with industrial users from high-growth sectors such as defence or robotics. The new trade fair has positioned itself as a specialized procurement platform for strategic networking, innovation, and corporate matchmaking.

Alongside CastForge and Battery Show Europe

One particular advantage to MTO Days is that it will be taking place alongside CastForge and the Battery Show Europe, creating valuable synergies for exhibitors and visitors alike. Particularly those from related fields of technology for whom precision manufacturing plays a key role. This concentration of information and expertise not only provides additional value, but promotes interdisciplinary exchange on the trade fair grounds.

Networking-Focused Accompanying Program

In addition to the classic product showcase, this format includes a varied program of accompanying events. An expert forum will explore current topics and demonstrate the latest trends from the worlds of digitalization, precision, and production, while a central ‘Networking Area’, as well as separate meeting rooms, will create the ideal conditions for personal exchange and confidential discussions.
