RX Japan G.K. (Headquarters: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Takeshi Tanaka) will hold the '11th Manufacturing World [Nagoya]', the largest manufacturing exhibition in the Chubu region, for three days from April 8 (Wed) to 10 (Fri), 2026, at Port Messe Nagoya.
■Technologies supporting Nagoya and Chubu's core industries gather in one place
The Nagoya and Chubu area is home to core industries that have driven Japan's manufacturing sector, such as automobiles, aircraft, and railways. While it boasts a world-renowned 'manufacturing hub', in recent years, the manufacturing現場 itself is at a major crossroads due to labor shortages and changes in the workforce structure.
Celebrating its 11th anniversary since its first holding in 2016, 'Manufacturing World [Nagoya]' will feature 630 companies* showcasing the latest technologies to address these on-site challenges, from design and development to DX and automation. This exhibition has become established as a specialized trade show where local manufacturers, suppliers, and engineers gather. In addition to precision technologies supporting cars and aircraft, and AI/robotics technologies compensating for labor shortages, many local companies from Aichi and Chubu will also participate. These three days offer a comprehensive overview of both the 'technological capabilities' that have long supported the Chubu area and the 'latest technologies' looking towards the next generation.
