MAKTEK Eurasia: machine tools and manufacturing technologies
MAKTEK Eurasia 2028 is the 10th international fair for machine tools, metal and sheet-metal processing machines, tool holders and cutting tools, quality-control and measurement systems, CAD/CAM, PLM software and manufacturing technologies. The organiser lists the Tüyap Fair and Congress Center in Istanbul for 25–30 September 2028. Tüyap Fairs and Exhibitions Organization Inc. organises the fair in cooperation with the Machine Tools Industrialists and Business People Association (TİAD), with support from the Turkish Machine Manufacturers Association (MIB).
Why Istanbul MAKTEK Eurasia matters
Compare production technologies
The official product scope ranges from CNC machining and metal-forming equipment to cutting tools, welding systems, metrology, software and automation. This breadth can help professionals compare technologies that affect different stages of manufacturing rather than assess a single machine category in isolation.
Focus supplier conversations
Buyers and technical teams can use the fair to examine equipment, discuss specifications and identify suppliers for further evaluation. Exhibitors can present machinery, software and industrial systems to professionals active in manufacturing.
The organiser has not published verified attendance or exhibitor totals in the material reviewed for this update, so no scale figures are stated here.
Who should visit Istanbul MAKTEK Eurasia?
Manufacturing buyers and procurement teams
Prioritise machine categories that match current purchasing plans. Compare operating requirements, configuration options, service arrangements and compatibility with existing processes directly with suppliers.
Production engineers and technical managers
Use the product categories to investigate machining, sheet-metal processing, welding, measurement and automation solutions. Prepare technical questions about capacity, tolerances, integration and support before discussing a machine or system.
Distributors and manufacturing technology suppliers
Review the range of machinery, tools, software and auxiliary systems to identify portfolio gaps or potential commercial relationships. Treat initial discussions as a starting point for due diligence, not as a substitute for technical and commercial checks.

After Istanbul MAKTEK Eurasia
Sort conversations by priority and follow up with specific requests: technical specifications, configuration details, integration requirements, quotations, delivery terms or service coverage. Compare proposals against the requirements defined before the fair, and document unresolved questions before making purchasing decisions.
Is Istanbul MAKTEK Eurasia worth visiting?
The fair is most relevant to professionals working with machine tools, metalworking and manufacturing technologies who have a defined sourcing, technology-review or supplier-development objective.
