MDA - Motion, Drive & Automation: 16 – 20 April 2007

The hydraulics and pneumatics community meets every other year at HANNOVER MESSE.

In 2005, 1250 exhibitors from 35 nations appeared at Motion, Drive & Automation (MDA), to showcase the complete range of world market technologies in their sector - General Atmosphere. MDA once again registered an enhanced level of visitor interest, particularly from outside Germany.

One of the largest sectors of the mechanical and plant engineering industry, power transmission and control is experiencing strong growth. The demand for electric drive components is rising worldwide.

As the world's leading event for power transmission and fluid power, MDA actively drives the decisive topics of tomorrow and opens the door to new application sectors. Lifecycle management in particular stands to play a key role at the coming event.

For power transmission and fluid power specialists in particular, the MDA has a dual "driving" function, showcasing technologies that drive both industrial plant and equipment and capital goods investment. Visitors to HANNOVER MESSE can see firsthand just how much convergence, to the point of integration, is taking place between the various technology sectors.
