The large exposition includes the following exhibitions: "Metalworking/Mechanical engineering – 2025", "Welding and cutting – 2025", "Powder metallurgy", "Corrosion protection. Coatings" and "Litmetexpo".

The following people were invited to the ribbon cutting ceremony:

  • Deputy Minister of Industry of the Republic of Belarus Denis Bakei;
  • Chairman of the Standing Committee on Industry, Energy, Transport, Communications and Digital Development of the House of Representatives of the National Assembly of the Republic of Belarus Yuri Panfilov;
  • Chairman of the Union of Non-Commercial Organizations of the Republic of Belarus Anatoly Kharlap;
  • First Deputy Chairman of the Presidium of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus Sergey Chizhik;

  • Chairman of the Union of Builders of the Republic of Belarus Anatoly Nichkasov;
  • Academician of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus Pyotr Vityaz;
  • Director of the State Fund for Industrial Development of the Ryazan Region Maxim Zhdanov.

After the grand opening,  the BNTU rector commented on the work of the exhibition and the Polytechnic's contribution to the mechanical engineering industry.

– The exhibition demonstrates Belarus’s capabilities in mechanical engineering and other industries, attracting scientists and manufacturers to discuss topical issues. There is a tendency to saturate and intellectualize the exhibition with an emphasis on advanced equipment, including elements of artificial intelligence. BNTU plays a key role in training personnel for mechanical engineering and machine tool building, being the basic university for Belarusian enterprises. Cooperation with the Russian Federation in the field of training personnel for machine tool building allows us to successfully compete with world leaders, - noted Sergey Kharytonchyk.

At the exhibition, about 200 participants from Belarus, Russia, India, China, Turkey, Kazakhstan and other countries present new equipment and materials. In addition, participants demonstrate samples of specially developed technical solutions and projects.

Visitors can explore the stands of domestic machine tool manufacturing enterprises, as well as a wide range of equipment and technologies for welding from different countries. The exhibitors also included models of pressing and thermal equipment, powder materials and the latest products for various industries, developments of Belarusian scientists, comprehensive solutions in the field of corrosion protection and new technologies in foundry production and metallurgy.

It should also be noted that the 39th international scientific and technical conference "Promising directions for the development of mechanical engineering and metalworking technology. Technology - Equipment - Tool - Quality" will be held as part of the exhibition events on Thursday, April 3. Representatives of BNTU will be one of the organizers of the conference.

The exhibition will run until April 4. During this time, the participants will be able to share valuable experience, engineering developments, and demonstrate the scientific power of domestic industrial enterprises. 

Exhibition opening hours:

  • April 1-3 – from 10:00 to 18:00;
  • April 4 – from 10:00 to 14:00.
