The German company will present innovations in laser cutting to attendees at the Monterrey event.

With the increase in investment flows derived from nearshoring, Mexico has positioned itself as a critical epicenter for developing and implementing advanced technologies in forming and manufacturing. For this reason, the synergy between international events and leading technology companies is essential to boosting the sector.

A clear example of this collaboration is the participation of TRUMPF, a leader in manufacturing technology, in the upcoming edition of FABTECH 2024 in Monterrey, Mexico.

The German machine builder, celebrating its centenary, is recognized for its commitment to state-of-the-art technology and constant innovation. Luis Colunga, Commercial Director of TRUMPF in Mexico, says, “FABTECH Mexico is a significant event… It allows us to showcase the latest technology for the Mexican market.”

This underlines the role of this industry event in facilitating direct contact between companies and their customers, allowing a fruitful exchange of knowledge and needs.

Cutting Innovation

The company plans to dazzle at FABTECH 2024 with its TruLaser 1030 model, which promises significant innovations such as bevel cutting without needing an additional shaft. This advancement is part of a broader strategy to introduce end-to-end solutions in manufacturing, including state-of-the-art benders and robotic welding cells equipped with optical vision technology. Not only do these innovations represent the peak of today’s technology, but they are also designed to be accessible to a wide range of budgets.

Colunga highlights the positive impact of participation in FABTECH, not only for TRUMPF but for the industry in general, mentioning that “last year, for us, was a record year in sales,” which he attributes to the growth of nearshoring and the arrival of new companies in Mexico.

In Situ

Approaching customers directly during events such as FABTECH enables TRUMPF to offer live demonstrations, individual consulting, and practical solutions to its customers’ current challenges. This face-to-face interaction is invaluable since, as Colunga mentions: “sometimes customers come in with their USB and say, Hey, here’s my drawing; what do you think? Can you cut it off to give me a demonstration?”

Forming and manufacturing technology is key for Mexican industry, driving economic growth, innovation, and sustainable development. The collaboration between TRUMPF and FABTECH in Monterrey will testify to both entities’ commitment to advancing manufacturing in Mexico and the region. Inviting the industry to look to the future. This shared vision highlights the importance of advanced technology in the manufacturing sector and Mexico’s crucial role as a hub for innovation and development in global industry. The next edition of FABTECH in Monterrey promises to be an essential meeting point for those interested in the latest trends and technologies in forming and manufacturing, which is already marking a new chapter in Mexico’s industrial history.
