An initiative of IMTMA, IMTEX is a flagship event for the Indian metal cutting industry. It is South and South East Asia's apex exhibition showcasing the latest trends as well as technological refinements from India and other global players


The flagship event of IMTMA was started in 1969 and IMTEX was split into two, Metal Cutting and Metal Forming technologies, in 2009. IMTEX at present hosts only metal cutting machines and is held every alternate year during the odd years.



The metal cutting show was held in January 2024 at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre.



The show has emerged as the biggest machine tool exhibition in South and South East Asia. ToolTech is the exhibition held concurrently with IMTEX and showcase the machine cutting tools.

IMTEX 2024 was the last edition of the metal cutting exhibitions and has attracted exhibitors from as many as 23 countries including India and hosted 991 exhibitors. The event also saw group participation from five countries.
