The name 'EMO' stands for 'Exposition Mondiale de la Machine Outil,' which translates to 'World Exhibition for Machine Tools' in French. The fair usually occurs biennially in September and alternates between Hannover and Milan. Established in Paris in 1975, it is organised by the German Machine Tool Builders' Association (VDW), which is also active in other areas of the metal processing industry. The machine tool and metal processing industry is particularly significant for Germany as it is a vital component of the manufacturing sector and a significant export sector.

The main themes of EMO Hannover revolve around the latest materials, products, and applications in the machine tool and metal processing industry. The trade fair offers a platform for international exhibitors, ranging from global players and hidden champions to innovative start-ups, to showcase their products and services to a diverse audience of professionals.
