The International Manufacturing Technology Show (IMTS), first held in Cleveland, Ohio in 1927[1] , is a trade show that features industrial machinery and technology. It is the largest manufacturing technology trade show in North America,[2] and in 1990 was renamed from the original "International Machine Tool Show" to reflect the growing scope of the show to additional technologies such as welding, lubrication, and materials engineering.[3] The show is managed by the Association for Manufacturing Technology.
