WELCOME MMTS.CA

THE FORMULA THAT WORKS – FACE-TO-FACE EXPERIENCE As the most important manufacturing technology event in Quebec, MMTS is more than a tradeshow.

MMTS is an EVENT dedicated to manufacturing! We provide a venue for the manufacturing community to come together to connect and grow. This is a unique opportunity to showcase products, communicate with industry leaders and gain practical knowledge to thrive, evolve and stay competitive.

With keynotes, panel discussions and interactive technology exchanges on the event floor, participants can be sure to connect with other stakeholders on timely topics including sourcing the future workforce, the factory of the future, and government programs driving productivity and innovation along with insights into Quebec’s local manufacturing success stories.

Add this together with social and interactive experiences throughout the event and you leave MMTS with the feeling of a productive and valuable investment of your time.

WHY MMTS? “It is important to have shows like this one in order to stay up to date on technological developments” Yvon Campeau Assembly Line Tooling Specialist Bombardier Aéronautique

“MMTS gives us a strong platform to display our machines.

This is our 21st year at MMTS and showing our new technology and innovative products is a great platform and a big deal for us.”

Tejal Mehta Vice President Operations EMEC Machine Tools Inc.

“The range of the technologies showcased allows us to find one or more solutions for various real problems.”

Robert Bédard President and Founder Cogiton Technologies Inc.

“We’ve been an exhibitor at this show for over 25 years. We’ve done every show and it’s a very important show. It’s a local show. We’re very focused on our Quebec customers and I think our presence here at the show allows us to communicate with our customers in a different way. Instead of showing up at their location, they show up at our booth and they watch all of our technologies and they enjoy a more relaxed environment. And it’s more fun.”

Marc Hasrouny CFO and General Manager Megatel

“MMTS 2016 will be my 16th time visiting the show – I’ve never missed an event! MMTS is a great place to interact and reconnect with those whom I’ve had the opportunity to know and work with. It’s wonderful to see new products and machines performing live within the exhibitors’ booths. This is an event I will continue to attend as long as I’m in my current field.”

Benoît Gauthier Machinist Unigear Industries

“It’s amazing how sometimes you find exactly what you need at the show, even though you weren’t even looking for it.”

Michel Wander Systems Engineer Canadian Space Agency

“I would recommend MMTS because there are very few shows in Montreal that can bring together so many people from different fields and this really generates a lot of buzz in Montreal. Everyone comes to this show, and it is indeed a unique opportunity to network with people in all kinds of areas.”

Sam Gerges Directeur Régional, Québec Advanced Motion & Controls Ltd

“Quebec is led by a local Chapter Executive committed to providing manufacturing information and networking opportunites for those with a common interest in advancing manufacturing technology. SME is the conduit.”
