The China International Machine Tool Exhibition (CIMT) was founded by the China Machine Tool Builders' Association in 1989. It is held every odd-numbered year and is the most prestigious international machine tool exhibition in China. It is one of the world's four major international machine tool exhibitions, along with EMO (European International Machine Tool Show), IMTS (Chicago International Machine Tool Show in the United States), and JIMTOF (Japan International Machine Tool Show). After more than 20 years, the international status and influence of the CIMT exhibition have been continuously rising. It has become an important venue for the exchange and trade of international advanced manufacturing technologies, a platform for showcasing the latest achievements in modern equipment manufacturing technology, and a barometer and indicator of the progress of China's mechanical manufacturing technology and the development of the machine tool industry. The CIMT exhibition brings together the world's most advanced and applicable machine tool products. For domestic purchasers and users, it is an international inspection without leaving the country.
