At the press conference last week, all those involved were still confident that they would be able to hold GrindTec 2020 thanks to a hygiene concept, which had been developed together with the Free State of Bavaria and the responsible authorities, and which is individually adapted to the exhibition site and GrindTec.

In the "dark red" city of Augsburg, the change in the Bavarian Ordinance on Infection Control represents a prohibition of the event, which could only have been circumvented by the negative decision to grant an exemption.

This week the Department for Sustainability, Environment, Climate and Health of the City of Augsburg announced to AFAG that an exemption cannot be granted due to the current infection situation in the city of Augsburg. The GrindTec 2020 will therefore not take place.

We are working on future projects and are already looking forward to presenting them as soon as possible. In the meantime, we wish you good health - stay well.
