EMWA is one of the most comprehensive manufacturing, engineering, machinery, equipment, raw materials, and service exhibitions in Nigeria, where international and indigenous market leading manufacturing solution providers with operations in Nigeria converge to network and share best practices.

Joseph Oru, Zenith Exhibitions’ Managing Director said the show has built up its reputation as one of the must-attend exhibitions in Nigeria, recording exponential growth in visitors and exhibitors’ year-on-year.
Oru said:
“The third edition of EMWA will continue to create and enhance new and current partnership opportunities that will help companies to improve business excellence and productivity. EMWA remains a highly recommended platform for businesses to establish new partnerships, networking and contracting opportunities."
Supported by more than 100 international and regional exhibiting brands from over 6 countries, will be showcased from around the world with expected attendance from Nigeria, Indonesia, France, Malaysia, Germany, Turkey and India
This means that manufacturers in Nigeria now have an annual platform to connect with international technology and solution providers and partners over three days, helping to save thousands of dollars in expensive and time-costly travel.
Oru, in a statement, said the expo aims at attracting foreign direct investment, supporting the Nigerian industrialization plan, increasing local production, supporting job creation and ultimately stimulating the growth and diversification of the Nigerian economy for self-reliance and export of non-oil and gas products.
According to him, these international manufacturing equipment suppliers will be demonstrating the latest manufacturing machinery, tools and spare parts including air compressors, processors, mixers, conveyer systems, automation systems, handling systems, press forming machines, labelling machines, dust extractors, wire cutting tools, turbo chargers, drilling and cutting machines/tools, surface treatment machinery, grinding machines, laser cutting technology, generators, climate control systems and much more.
He added:
“Visitors will get a glimpse into the future of manufacturing with a walk through an alley of live demonstrations on additive manufacturing and automation, and industrial manufacturing in 3D printing.
“These companies will showcase technological solutions and best practices that have been successfully implemented at the workplaces to enhance productivity, profitability, and time efficiency."
The expo, scheduled to be held at the Landmark Event Centre, on the 26th to 28th of April 2022, also presents the opportunity for manufacturers to showcase their products and gain patronage at a discounted booth rate.
The upcoming 2022 edition will welcome manufacturing professionals and feature over 100 exhibiting brands across 3,500m2. It will also feature a free to attend conference with over 30 speakers who have made significant contributions to the sector.
