The trade fair dates at which vhf will exhibit in 2004 have been fixed: In addition to four "classics" which were attended for several times in the past years, vhf will also attend two new fairs in this year. vhf plans to show numerous innovations around engraving/milling systems and carbide tools at these trade fairs.

The first event in 2004 which will be attended by vhf is World of Trophies in Kassel (March 20/21), a trade fair for the trophy and engraving branch. The world-wide leading trade fair Factory Automation at Hannover Fair (April 19 - 24) will follow shortly thereon. It offers a unique overview of what's happening in the industrial automation sector, especially mechanical engineering, electronics, software, image processing, microsystems technology and mechatronics. In the second half of the year, vhf will exhibit at Pro Sign in Frankfurt (October 21 - 23). Its main focus lies on sign making and digital printing. The last event of the year is Euromold in Frankfurt (December 1 - 4), an international trade fair for tool and mould making, design and product development.

One of the new fairs is Automatica in Munich (June 15 - 18), an international trade fair for robotics and automation which takes place for the first time in this year. The trade fair K (October 20 - 27) which takes place every three years in Düsseldorf already since 1952 will be attended by vhf for the first time due to its great importance on the plastics industry.

This fair programme which is addressed to very different branches of business clearly shows the universal applicability of the CAM systems. Which systems are to be exhibited finally will be announced shortly before each trade fair. The complete fair calendar for 2004 with stand numbers and more information can be checked on the vhf web site: Trade Fair Calendar.
