Australian SMEs Explore Global Partnerships After ATGE 2025 in Brisbane

ATGE 2025 connects 500+ professionals and 45 exhibitors, unlocking $5M in new business opportunities for SMEs.

BRISBANE, QLD, AUSTRALIA, May 18, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Queensland manufacturers are poised to benefit from up to A$5 million in potential business opportunities, following the successful conclusion of Australia’s only international grinding technology expo, ATGE 2025, held in Brisbane from 29 April to 1 May.

The Advanced Tool & Grinding Expo, hosted by Abrasivestocks Australia, brought together 45 international exhibitors and more than 500 industry professionals, resulting in over 20 preliminary partnership discussions aimed at helping Queensland SMEs explore new export pathways, including opportunities in the Chinese market.

Real Industry Impact
A Brisbane cabinet manufacturer reported that a new tool discovered at ATGE 2025 has the potential to significantly reduce production time.

Meanwhile, a Queensland metal processing SME said that the AI-powered diamond tools showcased at the event could help improve efficiency by 20%, lower production costs, and increase output.

In addition, Fiona from HENGXIN INDUSTRY shared that their team attended another major tooling and grinding expo in Asia six months ago, but found that the visitors at ATGE 2025 were five times more targeted and relevant. According to Fiona, “Every visitor we met at ATGE was a serious potential partner, making this event far more effective than our previous exhibitions.”
