From Poland's ITM Exhibition: Taiwan Machine Tools Aim at the CEE Market
ITM Industry Europe in Poland: The Most Representative Industrial Technology Exhibition in Central and Eastern Europe
ITM Industry Europe (Innovations, Technologies, Machines) is one of the largest and most representative industrial technology exhibitions in Poland. Organized by the Poznań International Fair, the 2026 edition was held from May 26 to 29 in Poznań, Poland. Recognized as a vital networking platform for the manufacturing sector in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), the exhibition focuses on Industry 4.0, smart manufacturing, automation, robotics, and advanced metalworking technologies. Centered around the theme of "Innovations, Technologies and Machines," the event gathers manufacturing technology providers, equipment manufacturers, and end-users from Europe and around the globe to showcase the latest industrial trends and solutions.
The 2026 exhibition spanned an impressive area of 9,800 square meters, bringing together 320 top exhibitors from 24 countries, including Germany, Japan, Switzerland, and Italy, to compete on the same stage. The event successfully attracted 12,518 professional buyers, with visitors hailing from 28 countries—such as the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and Ukraine—demonstrating its significant impact on the CEE industrial market.

Driving Smart Manufacturing & Supply Chain Integration: Seizing Opportunities in the CEE Market
ITM Industry Europe features diverse exhibition zones, including MACH-TOOL (machine tools) and AUTOMA (automation and robotics). The highlights of the 2026 expo will closely align with cutting-edge solutions such as AI automation, Digital Twins, and green, sustainable transformation. Concurrently held with the Modernlog logistics exhibition and the Subcontracting exhibition, the event creates a comprehensive, one-stop industrial platform spanning from equipment and manufacturing to supply chain integration.
Capitalizing on the massive opportunities brought by supply chain restructuring and digital transformation in the CEE region, the Taiwan Machine Tool & Accessory Builders' Association (TMBA) organized its first-ever delegation this year. Leading prominent Taiwanese manufacturers to Poland, the Taiwan Pavilion showcases strong capabilities in high-end 5-axis machining, ultra-precision fixtures, and intelligent machine vision, flexing its muscles alongside global giants like Beckhoff and Balluff from Germany. By offering highly practical and adaptable smart production line solutions, the Taiwan Pavilion has successfully drawn the attention of international buyers, serving as an exceptional gateway for Taiwanese machine tool and component manufacturers to explore industrial investment in Europe and tap into the blue ocean of digital transformation.

Introduction of Taiwan Pavilion Members at ITM 2026
Amid the sweeping wave of labor shortages, MEGA Machinery presents its "fully automatic circular sawing machine" as the first line of defense in metal processing. Equipped with servo CNC systems and premium tungsten carbide-tipped (TCT) saw blades, it delivers cutting speeds up to five times faster than traditional band saws. By enabling 24-hour unmanned, high-precision material cutting, it directly addresses the most urgent needs of automated production lines: reducing costs and increasing efficiency. In the heavy industry sector, ANNN YANG demonstrates absolute hardware prowess. Aiming at Poland's massive opportunities in defense and energy transition, its "giant heavy-duty lathes and oil country lathes" boast ultra-high rigidity and high horsepower. Focused on overcoming the turning challenges of oversized and heavy workpieces, they have become the top choice for heavy equipment replacement in Europe.
In the face of high inflation and shrinking capital expenditure on equipment, IK Enterprise proposes a highly attractive "painless upgrade" solution. Through its various types of high-end "milling heads and angular heads," European contract manufacturers do not need to spend a fortune on brand-new 5-axis machines. By simply retrofitting existing equipment with these new accessories, they can unlock complex multi-surface machining capabilities, gaining maximum combat capability with minimal investment.
The final mile of an automated production line lies in "stability," which is precisely the strength of major Taiwanese component manufacturers. The high-end "precision vises" exhibited by AUTO SUPER feature an exclusive anti-lifting design, ensuring workpieces remain rock-solid during unmanned machining—a vital cornerstone for maintaining a 100% yield rate. Meanwhile, CHUMPOWER specializes in the ultimate precision required for aerospace and electric vehicles. Its world-class "drill chucks and spindle accessories" provide a powerful upgrade to the heart of the machine, ensuring that cutting tools do not loosen even under extreme high-speed rotation.
From fully automatic cutting and giant turning to the ultimate clamping and spindle upgrades, the five elite manufacturers in the Taiwan Pavilion are doing more than just displaying products. They are proving to buyers in Poland and across Europe that Taiwan is the most trusted partner to help them break through capacity bottlenecks and elevate their manufacturing capabilities (Elevate Your Business).
