The only Automation show to offer a zone where exhibitors are able to highlight their equipment and products in action. Visitors get to see the products and technical capabilities in a live environment, they get to engage with the exhibitors & have technical discussions about the innovations on display.

AAF 2019 will illustrate ways to overcome manufacturing stagnation and fast track growth, by showcasing the latest technologies, solutions and models for next generation manufacturing. Nowhere else in Africa can you experience all the key players on one floor, comparing products, latest technologies, new developments and solutions.
