By many measures, the 2016 International Machine Tool Show in Chicago this September was the best IMTS yet. It certainly was for Meister Abrasives USA, Inc.
A record setting 2,400 companies exhibited their wares at the show, which was visited by 115,000 registered attendees. Traffic to the Meister exhibit was robust and many of our booth customers (20% more than 2014) registered with us for follow-up information or sales calls.
An advanced Studer CNC grinding system paired with an application-specific Meister Abrasives wheel and dressing disk was a big draw at the booth.
An even bigger draw was Meister’s innovative new 3D Abrasives Technology. We were gratified to be visited by several high-level executives including a CEO and two heads of R&D (from competitors) who wanted to know what 3D was all about.
There was also a considerable amount of interest in Meister’s large diameter wheels, micro-precision grinding capabilities, and advanced dressing technologies. We’ll be exhibiting again at IMTS in 2018. But you don’t have to wait. Our Sales Engineers would be delighted to talk with you about our abrasive technology solutions to your most pressing grinding problems.
