At IMTOS 2025 in New Delhi we gave Monotech Engineers three booth technologies: a HoloBox911 holographic welcome, an interactive touch panel showing its machines in 3D, and an anamorphic 3D LED wall.
Monotech Engineers, established in Ghaziabad in 1991, makes sheet metal machinery and reports installations in more than 45 countries. Its range includes hydraulic press brakes, shearing machines, plate rolling machines, EOT cranes and special purpose machines, used in automotive, defence, railways and heavy engineering.
Its machines are too large to bring to a stand in any number, and buyers walking the aisles come from automotive, aerospace, defence and manufacturing. The booth had to catch them from the aisle and then show the range in detail.
What we built
Monotech Engineers at IMTOS 2025: a hologram CEO, 3D machines and an anamorphic LED screen
Summary
Monotech Engineers asked us to equip its booth at IMTOS 2025, the 10th India Machine Tools Show, at Yashobhoomi Convention Centre, New Delhi. We built three things: a HoloBox with a life-size welcome from CEO Mr Pallav Aggarwal, a touch panel showing the full machine range in 3D, and anamorphic 3D content on a P2 LED screen at the front of the booth.
About IMTOS 2025
IMTOS, the India Machine Tools Show, is a trade exhibition for machine tools and industrial manufacturing technology. It is a selling floor rather than a conference: the machines on show are capital equipment that other factories buy, and visitors are mostly the engineers, production managers and owners who specify and sign for them.
Dates, venue and organiser
- Edition: 10th
- Dates: 11–14 July 2025
- Venue: Hall 2, Yashobhoomi, India International Convention & Expo Centre, Sector 25, Dwarka, New Delhi

Earlier editions were associated with Pragati Maidan, but the organiser names Yashobhoomi for 2025. No visitor or exhibitor count has been published after the show.
What the show covers
The organiser publishes 27 exhibitor categories. In groups, they are:
- Machine tools for cutting and forming, laser machinery, machine tool accessories, forging machinery, and tube and pipe technology
- Robotics and automation, additive manufacturing, CAD-CAM and other software, and electronics
- Welding, surface finishing, foundry equipment and brass parts
- Metrology, testing and measuring instruments, tools, industrial safety and supplies
- Hydraulics and pneumatics, compressors, pumps and valves, gears and drives, material handling, and newly launched products
For 2025 the organiser named laser and welding technology, brass parts, and castings and foundries as special-focus areas, with an exclusive display on robotics, automation and metrology. The programme also listed buyer-seller meets and seminars, and the show is positioned for MSMEs and start-ups. Visiting industries named by the organiser include automotive, aerospace, defence, pharmaceuticals and railways.
What we built for Monotech Engineers
Monotech Engineers Pvt. Ltd. of Ghaziabad makes sheet metal forming machinery: press brakes from 30 to 800 tonnes, shearing machines, plate rolling machines, power and hydraulic presses, laser cutting and panel bending machines, EOT cranes and lifting magnets. It is not connected to Monotech Systems Limited, a separate printing and packaging company.
Its stand at Yashobhoomi carried three technologies from us:
- HoloBox911 holographic welcome: Pallav Aggarwal of Monotech Engineers was recorded in one capture session before the show. We isolated, graded and mastered the footage, and it played on loop from hall open to hall close for all four days, about 32 floor hours, with no live link and no operator.
- Interactive touch panel: Monotech’s machine range in 3D, for visitors to explore
- Anamorphic 3D LED wall: to draw attention from the aisle
The HoloBox911 is an 86-inch 4K transparent LCD, seen at full height without headsets or 3D glasses under normal hall lighting. The hologram content at this show was the welcome only, not a machinery demonstration.
