CMES Indonesia International Machine Tool Exhibition 2026 Debuts on 2-4 July in Jakarta
Jakarta, Indonesia, (ANTARA/PRNewswire) - After its great success at the debut in Vietnam in 2025, CMES is expanding to Indonesia by holding the inaugural edition of the CMES Indonesia International Machine Tool Exhibition from 2–4 July 2026 at the Nusantara International Convention Exhibition (NICE), Jakarta (Hall 5 & 6).
Southeast Asia Manufacturing Centre
As Southeast Asia’s largest economy, Indonesia continues to develop rapidly through the “Making Indonesia 4.0” programme. The metal processing industry is now shifting from conventional casting techniques to high-precision component manufacturing. This transition is driven by demand from the automotive, electronics, infrastructure, and new energy sectors. However, the development of the domestic machine tool industry is still in its early stages. Around 75% of premium equipment still comes from imports, thus opening strategic opportunities for international suppliers.
In this context, the exhibition, covering an area of more than 15,000 square metres, will present various leading global machine brands, showcasing metal-cutting machine tools, metal-forming machines, machine tool accessories, grinding tools, as well as industrial automation and robotics solutions. Serving downstream industries such as automotive and motorcycle parts manufacturing, 3C electronics, household and office equipment, and general machinery, the exhibition addresses the continuously increasing needs for industrial equipment and smart manufacturing solutions in Southeast Asia.
China’s Largest Private Exhibition Organiser
As China’s largest private exhibition organiser based on exhibition area, CMES has over 24 years of experience, with an exhibition area of more than 600,000 square metres and visits from more than 600,000 buyers annually. For example, the 2025 Vietnam edition recorded more than 600 million online exposures, 11,602 visitors, and over 30,000 business interactions.
O2O Exhibition & Media Model
With an annual marketing investment exceeding US$7 million, CMES Indonesia will leverage a strong O2O media integration strategy:
Digital Media: Collaboration with leading global and Indonesian media such as Google, Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, Kompas, Bisnis Indonesia, Jawa Pos, Media Indonesia, and others, combined with content marketing, live streaming, and videos to significantly enhance brand visibility.
Offline Visibility: Launching billboards on toll roads and banners in Jakarta’s main transportation hubs, as well as industrial areas ahead of the exhibition to attract broad market attention.
Smart Data Matching: Utilising smart data analysis to support precise business cooperation matchmaking between exhibitors, quality buyers, and decision-makers.
