Launching in Cincinnati, Ohio in 2027, GrindingHub Americas will be the first, and as yet only, trade fair in America dedicated exclusively to grinding technology. Organised by the German Machine Tool Builders’ Association (VDW), Messe Stuttgart and Swissmem (Swiss Association of the Machinery, Electrical and Metal Industries), the concept first established by GrindingHub Stuttgart is now being brought to the American market.
The initiative for GrindingHub Americas came from the manufacturers. “Well-known companies from the grinding technology sector, together with representatives of their US subsidiaries, asked us to develop a trade fair concept for the American market based on the model of GrindingHub in Stuttgart.. We are delighted to be able to fulfill this request with our trusted partners Messe Stuttgart and Swissmem,” said Dr Markus Heering, managing director of the VDW.
Roland Bleinroth, President of Messe Stuttgart, added: “America is one of the most dynamic industrial markets in the world. Together with our American trade fair partners, we are convinced that the new GrindingHub Americas will become the ideal platform for the grinding technology sector and international cooperation in one of the most important global markets.”
The products and services on show cover the spectrum of grinding technology: From grinding machines and tools through to automation, measurement technology, digitalisation and sustainable production solutions. Key areas of focus of the new trade fair include live demos and technologies that increase productivity, reduce costs and redefine precision.
GrindingHub Americas is aimed specifically at decision-makers and purchasing staff from industries such as the automotive industry, aerospace, defence, medical technology and mechanical engineering. Cincinnati, in the heart of the Midwest industrial cluster, offers the infrastructure and proximity to important production sites in the United States – especially for the automotive and aerospace sectors.
The show’s first board meeting with leading grinding technology companies took place in Cincinnati at the beginning of November 2025. Among the participating companies are enterprises such as Action SuperAbrasive, Anca, Norton Saint-Gobain, Rollomatic, Star SU LLC, Supertec Machinery, United Grinding North America and Vollmer America.
“Industry experts agree: there is a need for a trade fair in the Americas that focuses specifically on grinding technology and related processes. Strong partners have joined forces on the board to make the first GrindingHub Americas 2027 in Cincinnati a reality,” said Board chairman Phil Kurtz. “Our board will ensure that the trade fair offers manufacturers a platform to present their innovative solutions to a specialist audience that is specifically looking for process optimisation.”
GrindingHub Americas will take place 18-20 May, 2027 at the Duke Energy Convention Center in Cincinnati.
