On June 9 and 10, 2026, the Make-to-Order Days (MTO Days) will take place for the first time at the Stuttgart Trade Fair Center – a new buyer's fair for precision parts, contract manufacturing, and machining. EVO Information Systems GmbH is committed in a dual role as a technology and cooperation partner: as an exhibitor and as an active multiplier that strategically increases the visibility of this premiere event in the industry.
Contact exchange for medium-sized enterprises: Local sourcing rethought
The MTO Days were initiated by Messe Stuttgart as a targeted B2B platform to bring contract manufacturers and buyers from numerous industries – from mechanical engineering, metal processing, medical technology to defense and robotics – directly into contact with each other. The focus is not on anonymous requests for quotes in online portals, but on personal conversations: New business relationships arise where competence meets concrete demand.
A well-thought-out stand construction concept with all-in packages ensures that even companies without trade fair experience can present themselves professionally - 'ready for show', without planning effort. All exhibitors benefit from a uniform, modern design as well as comprehensive service and communication measures. A detailed service catalog allows potential visitors to identify suitable manufacturing partners in advance and optimally plan their trade fair visits.
EVO as a bridge builder: Strong network for maximum reach
EVO Information Systems GmbH has been a specialized manufacturer of industrial software for over 25 years with a wide range of industry expertise – with a customer base that largely consists of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in metal processing and contract manufacturing. This target group is the focus of the MTO Days. As a cooperation partner, EVO brings its close networking with industry associations and institutions to actively increase the visibility and visitor numbers of the event.
'The success of the MTO Days is particularly important to me - because platforms like this are exactly what medium-sized companies need to establish and develop new business relationships with personal contacts.' - Jürgen Widmann, Managing Director of EVO Informationssysteme GmbH
'Technological upheavals and the transformation of entire industries pose great challenges for many manufacturing companies. With the Make-to-Order Days, we create a platform that responds precisely to these changes - close to the needs of the industry and with a clear focus on the future,' says Cristina D'Elia, Manager of Trade Fair and Event Management, Messe Stuttgart.
Synergies through parallel events
An additional benefit of the MTO Days arises from the parallel event: At the same time, the CastForge – International Trade Fair for Casting and Forging Parts will take place at the Stuttgart Trade Fair Center. MTO Days visitors also have free access with their day ticket. This opens up cross-industry synergies and a significantly expanded network for exhibitors and visitors.
According to the organizers, exhibitor registrations are promising: Numerous companies have already confirmed their participation. There are only a few exhibitor spaces left.
For exhibitors:
Contract manufacturers and precision parts manufacturers who want to present their manufacturing expertise to a high-profile audience of buyers can still register via the official website of Messe Stuttgart. Due to the limited number of remaining spaces, early registration is recommended. Registration and information: www.messe-stuttgart.de/make-to-order-days
For visitors and buyers: Buyers, decision-makers, and technicians from mechanical engineering, vehicle technology, robotics, defense, and renewable energies can secure their free day ticket with the code MTODAYS2026EVO. Ticket registration: www.messe-stuttgart.de/make-to-order-days
