VOGEL celebrates 125 years of "MM Maschinenmarkt"

Polytechnic specialist title has accompanied the German economy since the beginnings of industrialization

"We want to offer the economy a platform for the exchange of direct market information," declared company founder Carl Gustav Vogel in 1894, at a time of emerging industrialization. And this dictum is still the guiding principle of one of the largest trade journals in the world, one of the oldest polytechnic trade publications, and the loyal, competent companion of the industry, both nationally and internationally. According to the media magazine "Horizont", "MM Maschinenmarkt" is the sixth largest trade journal in Germany.

The special edition of "MM Maschinenmarkt", which will be published on Monday, January 14, 2019, marks the start of the industry trade journal's anniversary year. "125 years of 'MM Maschinenmarkt' are also 125 years of technical progress. Many innovative and unique companies have made this technical progress possible," explains Group Publisher Oliver Barthel: "We want to honor this innovative strength and pioneering spirit in our anniversary year with the special series 'Fascination of Technology'." From January 14, 2019, the editorial team will be publishing exciting stories about the innovative power of the manufacturing industry in the print magazine and digitally at www.MM125Jahre.de throughout the year. The anniversary year will end on February 6, 2020 with a grand gala at the VCC Vogel Convention Center Würzburg.

MM Maschinenmarkt" is aimed primarily at owners, managing directors, heads of manufacturing and production, as well as research & development and design. The editorial team describes product innovations, explains solutions, provides background information and supports opinion-forming and decision-making. "We want our modern specialist medium to be opinion-forming, international, well-founded and comprehensive - just as managers in the manufacturing industry need it," explain the two editors-in-chief Benedikt Hofmann and Udo Schnell.
