Exhibitions & Events

As we look back at our gallery from EuroTier 2016, we are reminded why this exhibition remains the global gold standard for the animal husbandry and veterinary sectors. With over 2,600 exhibitors and a record-breaking 163,000 visitors descending on Hanover, the energy was focused on one thing: the future of high-precision animal health.

A Milestone for Veterinary Innovation

2016 was a pivotal year for surgical manufacturing. While the livestock industry was buzzing about “EnergyDecentral” and automated feeding, our focus was firmly on the veterinary medicine and animal health halls. The industry was shifting toward minimally invasive surgery (MIS) and digital diagnostics. For a manufacturer, this meant producing instruments that weren't just durable, but capable of the extreme precision required for new endoscopic and laparoscopic techniques in both large and small animals.

Highlights from the Booth

Our presence at the 2016 show allowed us to engage directly with international distributors and veterinary specialists. Key trends we addressed:

• The Demand for Specialized Alloys: As animal welfare standards rose, so did the need for instruments that could withstand more rigorous sterilization protocols without losing their edge or structural integrity.
• Ergonomics for the Field: In veterinary care—especially for large animals—instruments need to be as “field-ready” as they are “theatre-ready.” We showcased tools designed for the unique physical demands of farm-side surgery.
• Global Networking: With nearly 25% of visitors coming from outside Germany, EuroTier 2016 was where we solidified our footprint in the European and Asian markets.

Why We Still Talk About 2016

The innovations we saw—ranging from 3D-assisted diagnostics to new robotic applications in vaccination—set the stage for the med-tech we manufacture today. EuroTier 2016 wasn't just an exhibition; it was the proving ground for the high-quality surgical standards we continue to uphold.

Returning to Hanover for EuroTier 2018, the atmosphere had shifted from pure mechanical strength to the dawn of the Digital Animal Farming era. As a manufacturer of surgical and diagnostic tools, we witnessed firsthand how “Big Data” began to refine the precision of veterinary medicine.

The Rise of Precision Animal Health

The 2018 exhibition was a landmark for integration. It wasn't just about having the right tool; it was about how that tool connected to a larger ecosystem of animal health monitoring.

• Digitization as a Standard: The central theme was the digital transformation of the livestock sector, emphasizing how sensor-based data could lead to earlier surgical interventions and more accurate diagnoses.
• The Animal Welfare Award: 2018 marked the first year the Animal Welfare Award was presented by the DLG alongside the Federal Association of Practising Veterinarians (bpt). This underscored a global shift toward manufacturing instruments that prioritize stress reduction and recovery speed.
• Innovations in Automation: We saw the introduction of groundbreaking tech like the Vaccybot, a fully automated poultry vaccination robot that used 3D stereoscopic cameras to achieve sub-millimetre precision—a level of accuracy that was previously the domain of human surgical suites.

Manufacturing for a “Smart” Industry

For our manufacturing team, 2018 was about meeting the demands of Precision Care:

• Diagnostic Integration: With tools now recording live data—such as the transponder-based systems used to monitor skeletal health via X-ray technology—our manufacturing focus expanded to ensure our hardware was compatible with these high-tech diagnostic environments.
• Sustainability & Safety: The industry's push to reduce antibiotic use meant that surgical sterility and “first-time-right” procedures were more critical than ever. We showcased our latest high-grade stainless steel ranges, specifically engineered to withstand more intensive, frequent sterilization cycles.

Looking Back to Move Forward

The lessons from 2018—where artificial intelligence began entering the milking parlor and the operating bay—continue to influence our production lines today. We left Hanover that year with a clear mission: to manufacture the “smart” hardware that powers the digital veterinary revolution.

The 2022 edition of EuroTier was a milestone, reuniting over 1,800 exhibitors from 55 countries and welcoming approximately 106,000 visitors eager to witness the next generation of livestock management. For our team, it was a vital opportunity to showcase how our manufacturing standards have evolved to meet a world that is rapidly prioritizing sustainability, animal welfare, and digital precision.

A New Era of “Intelligence in Animal Farming”
