Italian Bi-Mu machine tool show scheduled
Italy's 25th Bi-Mu machine tool and production equipment show includes the latest developments in welding, assembling, dies and moulds and is supported by a conference.
"The success achieved by the conferences," commented Alberto Tacchella, president of UCIMU-Sistemi per Produrre, "Is a testimony to the attention of the public for the analysis and deepening of topics connected with the technological development that is regarded with great interest by manufacturers and users, allowing and supporting, in this way, the constant industrial progress of the area of Bari." Not only the operators of the sector, but also the students of technical high schools (accompanied by their teachers) visited the show.
Their attendance resulted to be at the same level as in the edition of 2004.
Organised by Fiera del Levante in co-operation with CEU-Centro Esposizioni UCIMU and promoted by UCIMU-Sistemi per Produrre, the Association of Italian machine tools, robots and automation Manufacturers, Bi-Mu Mediterranea reaffirms its role as one of the most important exhibitions of the sector for the Mediterranean countries, a qualified show of innovative solutions generally based on functional modularity, enabling the user-industry to be equipped with agile production structures, characterized by flexibility and capacity of reconfiguration.
On the scene was the offering of the 300 enterprises that proposed the best of their production, in the five exhibition pavilions, on a total net surface of 8,000m2.
"The numbers of this edition are extremely satisfactory," continued Tacchella, "Now, it is desirable that the contacts obtained in the four days of the show should be transformed into real business for the manufacturers." Aimed at promoting the meeting between demand and offer of the sector, Bi-Mu Mediterranea has been chosen by ICE (Italian Institute for Foreign Trade) to organise, in co-operation with Fiera del Levante and UCIMU-Sistemi per Produrre, more than 200 meetings between Italian exhibitors and some thirty trade operators from Croatia, Egypt, Greece, Morocco, Slovenia, Tunisia and Turkey.
"With Bi-Mu Mediterranea - stated Luigi Lobuono, president of Fiera del Levante - "We are able to offer a strong boost to the industrial development of our territory that cannot absolutely neglect factors, such as productive specialisation, technological innovation and automation." * The next Bi-Mu Mediterranea is scheduled for 2008.
