MF-TOKYO was first held in 2009 as an international exhibition of forming machinery (presses, sheet
metal, forming, automation, and peripheral equipment). The purpose of this exhibition is to introduce
cutting-edge machinery and technology from Japan, which along with Germany leads the world's
manufacturing industry, and to promote the development of Japan's forging machinery industry.
Looking at the success of the cherry blossom viewing parties in various regions this spring, it is
deeply moving to see that "daily life" has finally returned after the long-lasting Corona disaster.
Although the last exhibition in 2023 was held in fear of infectious diseases, we are confident that the
8th exhibition will be a lively success.
The subtitle of MF-TOKYO 2025 is "Technology friendly to humans and the earth, building a sustainable
future". We infer that each company is working towards the realization of carbon neutral (CN). However,
it is extremely difficult to realize CN by a single machine or by a single company, and it is essential
to aim to realize CN throughout the so-called life cycle, from material procurement, processing,
manufacturing, distribution, and consumption to final recycling and disposal. We are sure that each of
you who are considering participating in the exhibition are not only pursuing productivity improvement
and machining accuracy, but are also working on how your forming machines can meet the CN requirements.
We hope that one part of this will be appealed at this exhibition.
Two years ago, the world was in the midst of a shift to EVs, but the trend of renewed interest in HVs
and PHVs as an option suggests that the direction of this trend is in flux. We believe that the forming
machinery has the "underlying strength" to fully respond to such changes. This exhibition, where forming
machines, automation devices, related equipment, processing technologies, and service technologies
gather under one roof, attracts many visitors with deep knowledge of press, sheet metal, and forming
processing technologies that only a specialized exhibition can offer. We hope that you will exhibit your
excellent products and technologies and make use of this exhibition as a venue for information
dissemination and business negotiations. We sincerely look forward to your participation.
