Extrusion International 5/2016
From 25 to 27 April 2017 the world of used machinery and systems
will meet in Augsburg. Numerous associations, exhibitors and visitors
have meanwhile registered for the ReTEC 2017 and the technical
focuses have also already been established.
Most of the demand for used machinery is in newly industrializing and
developing countries since this type of machinery is available at a lower
cost and often has the advantage of being more robust. In the countries
concerned, the availability of reliable machinery is often more important
than operating high-end technology equipment. But also the European
industry often utilizes used machinery, including lease returns, on many
occasions, e. g. to supplement the existing production systems, or as sup-
port during peak times. Also in industrialized countries new machinery is
only profitable when used in multi-shift operations and the delivery times
for new equipment are often long. Used machines have the advantage
of being available immediately.
The ReTEC, as the international platform for used machines and systems
of all industries, is presently repositioning itself and starts in April 2017
in Augsburg. The FDM (Trade Association for Machine Tools + Tooling –
Fachverband des Maschinen- und Werkzeug-Großhandels e. V.) and
EAMTM (European Association of Machine Tool Merchants) are coope-
rating as far as the technology is concerned and their members are also
actively participating which leads to a wide range of offered products. In
addition, the focus is on construction site equipment, industrial trucks
and agricultural machinery, as well as metal working machines and ma-
chine tools. Joint participations from Great Britain, Italy and China are
also planned and will ensure the exceptional internationality of the event.
Apart from used machinery, the ReTEC presents different service providers
specialised in retrofitting, disassembly and assembly, as well as special
ways of transport for various types of machinery. This way the ReTEC is
able to offer a comprehensive product range of used machinery and
systems.
Starting 2017, the ReTEC will either take place in Augsburg or Essen.
The venue will alternate every year. The fair will always be held in April,
at the same time as the Hanover Trade Fair.
