BI-MU Mediterranea scheduled for 2006
Addressing the Mediterranean countries' markets, the next BI-MU Mediterranea exhibition will present the latest developments in machine tools and manufacturing technologies in early 2006.
Bi-Mu show covers latest machine tools
This year's Italian machine tool and production equipment show - the Bi-Mu - will take place in Milan's new exhibition centre located on the outskirts of the city.
In fact, the medieval village of Monteriggioni, in the province of Siena, will make up the frame for the three days of work.
The organisation of the event is traditionally entrusted by ECTA to the trade association of the host country and thus, for this edition, to UCIMU-Sistemi per Produrre - the Association of Italian Machine tools, Robots and Automation Manufacturers.
The sponsors of the thirty-third edition of the Annual Conference are: Credit Suisse, Balzers, Automator, Losma, Molemab, Boehler, AMB 2006 and UCIMU-Sistemi per Produrre.

With over 60,000 employees and a turnover exceeding EUR 7 billion, the European manufacturing industry of cutting tools for industrial use plays a leadership role in the world panorama of the sector.
This is confirmed by the data concerning export: more than the half of the world exports of the sector comes from Europe.
Tools are used in all main industrial sectors and destined to the application in the machining processes, in the automotive, aerospace, railway fields, and more generally, in instrumental mechanics.
ECTA's president, Fabrizio Resmini, has affirmed: "The involvement of the sector in all manufacturing processes makes it necessary to study the new trends and the evolution of the end-users' requirements.
As a matter of fact, the aim of the Association and, in particular, of the Annual Conference is the analysis of these topics, which will be discussed during the scheduled workshops, accompanied by convivial moments of confrontation among the participants." The working sessions will be opened with the meeting 'Macroeconomic scenario: present situation and future perspective' by Giorgio Arfaras, Credit Suisse director.
The meeting 'How to compete between price and value' by Renato Fiocca, Professor of marketing, Catholic University of Milan, will be dedicated to the aspect of strategic marketing.
The working session will be concluded with the meeting entitled 'Future of cutting tools in the automotive and aerospace sectors' held by Sergio Durante, manager of Manufacturing and Machining Technologies, president of the Advanced Machining Club Centro Ricerche Fiat.
The event which, traditionally, can count on the presence of the US Association of the sector (USCTI), is reserved to the participation of the enterprises that are members of the seven category associations linked up by ECTA, such as AFEC (Spain), FVM (Sweden), Symop (France), Swissmem (Switzerland), The British Hardmetal and Engineers' Cutting Tool Association (Great Britain), VDMA (Germany), UCIMU-Sistemi per Produrre (Italy) and of the aggregated companies Hanita (Israel) and Jabro Tools (Holland).
