Rising demands for productivity, flexibility and investment security, combined with a dynamic market environment, are creating new challenges for manufacturing companies. What is needed, is not only high-performance machinery, but partners that combine technology, automation and service into cost-effective, integrated solutions – and support manufacturing companies over the long term.   

This is precisely where the Fair Friend Group (FFG) came in at the AMB 2026 exhibition in Stuttgart last month. Under the slogan ‘Stopover’ FFG invited visitors to discover new perspectives for the manufacturing of tomorrow. The ‘Stopover’ represented an opportunity for companies to evaluate technological possibilities, gain new insights and strategically plan the next steps of their manufacturing strategy. 

As a global machine tool and turnkey solutions partner, FFG brings together specialised machine tool companies around the world, combining their technology expertise and know-how across multiple disciplines. Customers benefit from continuous technology transfer within the group as well as international support for delivery, commissioning and service.  

This network provides the foundation for high-performance manufacturing concepts and reliable support across national borders. At AMB, FFG demonstrated – through specific applications and several premieres – how this approach can make the manufacturing of tomorrow cost-effective, flexible and future-ready. 

At the show, the new MAG MMH 630 represented a new development for demanding heavy-duty machining applications. Ahead of its official market launch, the company presented the first details of the new machine. 

The MAG MMH 630 was developed for the cost-effective machining of large, complex workpieces and combines high performance, precision and process stability, reports FFG. This blend makes it particularly well suited to applications in industries such as energy, commercial vehicle, heavy equipment and aerospace.
