The second edition of the CMES Vietnam International Machine Tool Exhibition will be held from August 26 to 28, 2026, at the Vietnam Exhibition and Convention Center (VEC), Hanoi, bringing together leading manufacturers, technology providers, distributors and industrial buyers from across the region. With its exhibition space doubling in size to 30,000 square metres, the event is set to become one of Vietnam’s largest platforms for the machine tool and advanced manufacturing industries.
The exhibition forms a key part of the 2026 Vietnam Super Industrial Linkage Expo, offering businesses an opportunity to connect with Vietnam’s rapidly expanding manufacturing sector while supporting sourcing and procurement activities ahead of the industry’s peak buying season in the second half of the year. Professional visitor pre-registration for the exhibition is now open.
This year’s edition will feature four specialised exhibitions under one roof, creating a comprehensive industrial platform. Alongside the CMES Vietnam International Machine Tool Exhibition, the event will host the CMES Vietnam International Automation and Robotics Exhibition, the CMES Vietnam International Plastics and Rubber Exhibition, and the CMES Vietnam International Electronic Components, Materials and Production Equipment Exhibition.
The machine tool exhibition will present a broad range of manufacturing technologies across five major segments, including metal cutting, metal forming, grinding and measuring equipment, industrial automation, and machine tool accessories. The exhibition will showcase complete manufacturing solutions covering precision machining, automated production systems and integrated factory applications designed to improve productivity and operational efficiency.
A major focus of the event will be solutions for industries driving Vietnam’s manufacturing growth. Exhibitors will present technologies tailored for 3C electronics manufacturing, automotive and motorcycle components, mould and die production, and general precision machining. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore equipment designed for high-precision production, improved machining accuracy and efficient large-volume manufacturing.
More than 300 company decision-makers are expected to participate, creating opportunities for business discussions, technology exchange and commercial partnerships. Exhibitors will also engage directly with buyers through factory-to-business meetings, enabling customers to explore competitive sourcing options and establish long-term supplier relationships.
Adding further value to the exhibition, the Vietnam Machine Tool Agents Cooperation Conference will be organised in collaboration with Vietnam’s mechanical, electronics and automation industry associations. The conference is expected to attract more than 100 local agents and distributors, providing an important networking platform for international manufacturers seeking to strengthen their presence in the Vietnamese market.
Commenting on the upcoming event, Tang Nan, General Manager of CMES, said the exhibition reflects the organisation’s commitment to developing a leading machine tool exhibition in Vietnam while creating an efficient business platform that connects global manufacturers with local industry stakeholders. Scheduled for August 26–28, 2026, at VEC Hanoi, the exhibition is expected to strengthen international cooperation, promote advanced manufacturing technologies and support the continued growth of Vietnam’s industrial sector.
