MACTECH Egypt 2026 — Dec 17-20 Cairo | Metalworking Exhibition Stand

MACTECH Egypt 2026 runs 17-20 December at the Egypt International Exhibition Center in Cairo, co-located with Handling Expo. Organized by International Fairs Group, it is Egypt's principal metalworking, machine tool and industrial handling exhibition.

Four days, not one

Some support listings compress this fair to a single date. The organizer publishes 17 to 20 December — four days. That difference matters for crew scheduling, hospitality and the cost of keeping a technical team on site. Confirm against the organizer before building a budget.

Co-location doubles the audience

MACTECH and Handling Expo share dates and venue under the same organizer, which means metalworking buyers and material-handling buyers walk the same halls. For exhibitors whose products bridge both — conveyors, positioners, lifting equipment for machine shops — the co-location is a genuine advantage worth designing for: a stand positioned near the boundary between the two audiences catches traffic from both.

Heavy machines in an Egyptian December

Machine tools mean point loads and power planning, and the venue's technical requirements need clearing before build-up rather than during it. December in Cairo is the mildest build season of the year, which helps: adhesives cure predictably and crews work full days without heat loss. Freight from Türkiye also runs on a calmer schedule than the autumn peak.

Selling into Egyptian industry

Egypt's metalworking sector buys on total cost of ownership and on service proximity: how quickly a technician can reach a breakdown, whether spare parts are held regionally, what training comes with the machine. Put that on the stand — service arrangements, parts availability, response times — because it is the first question a serious buyer asks and the one most competitors answer vaguely.

Timing

MACTECH opens 17 December 2026. For a Türkiye-produced stand with road freight, confirm by late October. Send your stand size and machine list — including weights and whether units are driven or craned in — for a 3D concept and delivered price band within 24 hours.
