Manufacturing World Tokyo Chiba

Manufacturing World Tokyo, established in 1990, is Japan’s leading trade show for the manufacturing industry. Organized annually by RX Japan Ltd., it serves as an internationally oriented platform showcasing advanced solutions across the entire industrial value chain—from product development and production to digital transformation.

The event takes place at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, a modern exhibition center located just 30 minutes from central Tokyo. Thanks to its excellent public transport connections and proximity to Narita International Airport, the venue is easily accessible by train or car.

Held once a year, the trade show gathers the innovative power of the industry in one place. It offers in-depth insights into the latest technologies and industrial application fields. Manufacturing World Tokyo is not only recognized as Japan’s premier trade fair, but also as a key international meeting point for the industry. It forms part of a well-established exhibition series with additional editions in Osaka, Nagoya, and Fukuoka.

The event focuses on practical, industry-ready solutions that deliver direct benefits to manufacturers. Core themes include key technologies such as CAD/CAE, PLM, ERP, XR, mechanical components, medical technology, additive manufacturing, metrology, Industry 4.0 applications, industrial cybersecurity, smart maintenance, and energy efficiency in production. Professional visitors benefit from compelling case studies presented by leading companies such as Honda, Subaru, and Denso, who showcase their approaches to digitalization, robotics, generative AI, and predictive maintenance.

The exhibition features a wide range of high-quality products and services—from 3D printing materials and precision sensors to complete solutions for automation and outsourcing. This offering is further enhanced by topic-specific sub-exhibitions, such as the Additive Manufacturing Expo and the Smart Maintenance Expo. Particularly popular are the hands-on lectures by leading industry experts, which highlight current developments and provide valuable new impulses.

Participating companies and professional attendees come from sectors such as automotive, mechanical engineering, electronics, medical technology, and precision equipment manufacturing. In addition to a strong presence of industrial players from eastern Japan, the event also attracts a growing international audience seeking access to the Asian market and to Japan’s renowned manufacturing expertise.

More than just a trade fair, Manufacturing World Tokyo is considered the epicenter of industrial innovation in Japan. With its unique combination of international scope, technological depth, and practical relevance, it is an essential event for professionals in design, development, procurement, production, and IT. Makuhari Messe provides not only the ideal infrastructure but also blends efficiency, innovation, and Japanese hospitality in the best possible way.
