Results of the 26th International exhibition for equipment, instruments and tools for the metalworking industry Metalloobrabotka-2026
The 26th International exhibition for equipment, instruments and tools for the metalworking industry Metalloobrabotka-2026 was held May 12 through 15 at Crocus Expo.
All aspects of machine tool building and metalworking: intelligent new generation machine tool systems, automated lines, test machinery, state-of-the-art metal machining and cutting equipment, tooling and accessories, innovative design developments, the latest software, etc were on display.
This year's edition was special not only because the venue was changed, as the show moved to Crocus Expo, but also because of a large-scale conceptual expansion. Metalloobrabotka became the main showcase of achievements in the field of technological sovereignty and industrial cooperation. It once again confirmed the status of this country's key industrial platform.
Thanks to the integration of Rusweld and Technoforum as thematic clusters, Metalloobrabotka 2026 covered the entire production cycle from material design and welding to the release of final products.
For the first time in a long time, Metalloobrabotka offered its own daily printed newspaper, which covered the main events of the show and was distributed among exhibitors and visitors during the exhibition days.
Main facts of the exhibition: Exhibition space of82,000 sq. m; attendance of 39,000+ professional visitors; exhibitors 1,210 companies; foreign exhibitors 522 companies; Russian exhibitors 688 companies; countries 8 (Russia, Belarus, China, India, Italy, Kazakhstan, South Korea, Turkiye); national pavilions Belarus, Russia (supported by the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade), Turkiye; Russian regional pavilions 11 (Republics of Crimea, Tatarstan, and Udmurtia, Perm Krai, Leningrad, Lipetsk, Nizhniy Novgorod, Penza, Samara, Tver, and Yaroslavl Oblasts).
The equipment–from heavy metal cutting machines to robotic complexes, CNC systems, AI solutions, and digital twins–was demonstrated in operation. Automation and integration of various production processes were especially popular.
As usual, Metalloobrabotka featured the stands of leading Russian universities such as Stankin Moscow State University of Technology, Bauman Moscow State Technical University, MISIS National University of Science and Technology, St. Petersburg State Marine Technical University, MIREA – Russian Technological University, Moscow Power Engineering Institute, etc.
The conference programme of Metalloobrabotka 2026 included 49 events and brought together about 280 speakers and moderators. The focus was on practical tasks of industry, issues of technological leadership, automation, HR, and cooperation development.
The change of venue allowed the show to be more clearly structured thematically. The expansion of the display and the inclusion of Rusweld and Technoforum thematic clusters made Metalloobrabotka even more ambitious and meaningful. The show brought together a full range of solutions from machine tools and instruments to robotics, additive manufacturing, and engineering software.
Metalloobrabotka 2026 clearly demonstrated the fact that the Russian industry is confidently moving towards digitalization, automation, and localization of technologies.
The show once again confirmed that it remains the main meeting place for manufacturers, customers, engineers, and experts, and a platform for creating new cooperation ties and determining the vectors of industry development.
The 27th International exhibition for equipment, instruments and tools for the metalworking industry Metalloobrabotka will be held May 11 through 14, 2027.
See you at Crocus Expo!
