JIMTOF 2026 Stand in Tokyo: your turnkey stand builder
Industrie
International
A benchmark for machine tools in Japan, JIMTOF takes over Tokyo Big Sight from October 26 to 31, 2026. This biennial trade show gathers the finest in machining in a country where precision is a culture. A JIMTOF stand speaks to visitors who notice every detail.
JIMTOF: the Japanese standard of machining
JIMTOF covers machine tools, cutting tools, clamping systems, metrology, CAM software, and workshop automation. Production engineers, workshop managers, and buyers from Asia and Japan make up the audience. The 2024 edition welcomed 1,262 exhibitors and 162,670 visitors. Exhibiting there allows a European brand to measure itself against the best and initiate discussions with distributors and decision-makers in the region.
Tokyo Big Sight
With its iconic inverted pyramids, Tokyo Big Sight is located on the Ariake waterfront, connected to central Tokyo by the Yurikamome and Rinkai lines, and accessible from Haneda and Narita. Exhibiting in Japan requires rigorous preparation: strict fire safety rules, assembly times respected to the minute, and complete technical files. In return, the organization is seamless and the audience highly qualified.
A stand for industrial experts
When facing Japanese visitors, the stand must demonstrate rather than assert: sober stagings, high-quality materials, precise lighting on machined parts, and relaxed discussion areas. Consult our industrial and construction stand page and our custom-made stands, designed in France and coordinated in Asia from our Hong Kong office.
Our industrial references
We built the Ducerf stand at CIB 2026 for Ducerf, with the care of showing the quality of execution to an audience attentive to detail. For Fundermax, the Fundermax stand at CIB 2026 required a finish readable at first glance.
