Opening its doors from 2 to 6 March, the SIMODEC 2026 precision machining and bar turning trade fair is fast approaching. It is time for companies in the sector, and for all professionals concerned, to mark these dates in their diaries. To publicise this event, ROCHEXPO is gradually stepping up its regional, national and international communications.

To this end, Rochexpo Director Xavier Cuttaz and metalworking specialist Michel Pech met with the trade press in Paris at the end of November. Organised by the Comcordance press agency and its founder Véronique Albet, the aim of this press conference was to convince journalists of the economic, technological and human relevance of the 2026 edition.

Faced with unprecedented rapid changes in their markets and professions, professionals in the bar turning and precision machining industries will have unique opportunities to exchange ideas and find ways to respond positively to these upheavals at SIMODEC 2026.

The manageable size of the exhibition, dynamic and skilled partners in technology, training and recruitment; the organisation of meetings and events for trade visitors; innovation awards opening up new perspectives for meeting these challenges: everything is done to enable companies, their technicians, engineers and managers to find or devise the right answers to their investment questions.

For professionals in the bar turning and precision machining industries, the collective human intelligence shared at SIMODEC 2026 will thus multiply everyone's creativity.
