••• 10••• Branchennews New Club of Metalworking Making a visit to the fair simpler, faster and better: this is the goal pursued by the Club of Metalwor- king, which the German Machine Tool Builders’ Association (VDW) launched this year. Membership is free of charge, and offers at- tractive services for international metalworking experts. Following free-of-charge regis- tration at www.clubofmetal- working.de, members receive an individual welcome package with their personal club card. A newsletter informs them every six to eight weeks about news from the sector and important trade fairs, while the club auto- matically provides free-of-charge season tickets for the EMO Han- nover and the METAV. In addition to free use of the public trans- port network for visiting the fair, members can also use their club cards to enjoy numerous services free of charge, like a fast lane for accelerated admission, the cloakroom or the Club of Metal- working’s lounge. What’s more, exclusive club meetings provide ideal opportunities for networ- king, so as to give the club a per- sonal face. In a first step, visitors to the EMO and the METAV were invited to join the Club of Metal- working. The registration figures so far thus reflect the perceived international importance of the- se fairs. The majority of members already registered come from all parts of Europe, besides Germa- ny primarily from Scandinavia, the Baltic states, plus Central and Eastern Europe.
