TMTS 2026 Returns to Taichung: Showcasing the “Showroom-to-Factory” Advantage and Connecting Core Industry Strengths

Organized by the Taiwan Machine Tool & Accessory Builders’ Association (TMBA), the Taiwan International Machine Tool Show (TMTS 2026) will grandly return next year. One of the major highlights of this edition is the show’s return to Taichung—the heartland of Taiwan’s machine tool industry. The Taichung International Convention and Exhibition Center (TICEC), located at the core of the precision machinery cluster, will serve as the TMTS venue for the first time. This not only showcases the industry’s unique “Showroom-to-Factory” advantage but also provides international buyers with a seamless exhibition and procurement experience.

As a crucial hub in the global machine tool supply chain, Taichung hosts numerous leading brands and key component manufacturers. By choosing Taichung as its home, TMTS 2026 offers exhibitors and buyers a highly professional and comprehensive environment while significantly enhancing the efficiency of procurement. After viewing the latest technologies and scheduling meetings at the exhibition hall, international buyers can immediately visit nearby factories to gain deeper insights into equipment performance, tour production lines, and even operate the machines themselves. This integrated “Exhibition-to-Factory” model accelerates decision-making, increases order conversion rates, and sets TMTS apart from other global trade shows.

The newly built Taichung International Convention and Exhibition Center (TICEC), serving as the TMTS 2026 venue, is equipped with world-class facilities and infrastructure. Certified as a “Diamond-Level Green Building,” the center incorporates sustainable concepts into its energy efficiency, natural lighting, and spatial design. Strategically located in the Shuinan Smart City, TICEC offers excellent accessibility—close to major highways, the port, the airport, and the Taichung High-Speed Rail Station—while connecting seamlessly with key industrial zones in Taichung, Changhua, and Nantou. This provides strong support for the expanding global business opportunities of Taiwan’s machine tool industry.

Surrounded by major developments such as the Shuinan Transit Hub, Central Park, and the soon-to-open Taichung Green Museumbrary, TICEC benefits from comprehensive transportation and urban infrastructure. This makes Taichung a prime destination for business meetings, international networking, and incentive travel, combining industrial strength with cultural and environmental quality.

With TMTS 2026 returning to Taichung, the exhibition will not only showcase the latest global machine tool trends but also leverage its “manufacturing-base” advantage to deliver a procurement experience that truly connects buyers with the production front line. Taichung’s role as the powerhouse of Taiwan’s machine tool industry will once again be highlighted on the world stage through TMTS.
