The overall technical and methodical scope of maintenance has changed over time. Today maintenance is not restricted to simply repair the equipment when it breaks, it also has influence on the sustainable development of society as it influences the environment, safety of personnel and facilities, energy efficiency and financial aspects.
Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) is playing a developmental role in building internal competitiveness of Indian Manufacturing industry. One such initiative is the Industrial Maintenance Expo, which was launched in the year 2010, with an objective to reach out and spread awareness in terms of maintenance solutions to reduce brake down and enhancing productivity as Maintenance is the backbone of any engineering industry.
To achieve better manufacturing growth, CII has been organizing Maintenance exhibitions since 2010 which are showcasing the latest products, technologies and services of maintenance field in industrial clusters across India with a sustained approach.
Five editions of Industrial Maintenance Expo have been held so far.- 1st Edition of IMX was held on 4 – 6 August 2010 at New Delhi with a theme of “Reduce Down Time – Enhance Productivity” and mainly focused on Maintenance Service Care.
