Dear Readers,

Would you like to experience production technology "made in Hannover"? Then let us invite you to Hannover Messe 2016. From 25 to 29 April, we will present new technologies: You can keep track of your self-designed product from design to manufacturing (Robotation Academy, Pavilion 36), learn about new materials and lightweight structures (Hall 6, Stand D52) and experience driverless forklift trucks and laser innovations (Hall 2, stand A08).

We hope you enjoy reading this issue.
