After a wait of more than six years, the famous Homag in-house exhibition took place at the same time at two southern German Homag locations – in Schopfloch and Holzbronn.

The program was rounded off by factory tours, which provided a look behind the scenes at Homag.
Automation and digitization were once again the focus.
