Six years later, EMO, the worldwide exhibition of machine tools is back, promoted by CECIMO, the European Association of the Machine Tool Industries. The tradeshow will take place from 5 to 10 October 2015 in the prestigious fairground centre of fieramilano.
The biennial travelling exhibition, EMO – whose mark is owned by CECIMO – has chosen Milan as its only location alternating with Hanover: this is a confirmation of the efficiency of the organization apparatus relying on a long-standing experience in the organization of events and of the expertise of the Italian industry which ranks fourth worldwide for production and third for export.
110,000 square meters of net exhibition surface have already been booked seven months before the opening of EMO MILANO 2015. Well in advance, the threshold of 95,000 sqm of exhibition occupied by the last edition of EMO MILANO (2009) has been exceeded. Should this trend be confirmed it is reasonable to assume that the exhibition will occupy 120,000 sqm.
More than 1,300 companies registered at EMO MILANO 2015. The leaders in the ranking of the companies which already registered are the “masters of the house”, Italians, closely followed by the Germans; the Taiwanese are ranking third for the number of applications in the tradeshow, followed by the Chinese and Swiss exhibitors.
The halls of the fairground of fieramilano Rho-Pero will host the biggest factory in the world, where machine tools, robots, automation, additive manufacturing, auxiliary mechatronic and technological solutions will be exhibited, as the expression of the international production of the sector, representing an industry that accounts for 64 billion euro.
“EMO has always been considered the most important event at the disposal of trade operators from the world’s manufacturing industry to keep up-to-date on the new production technologies” – states Pier Luigi Streparava, appointed by CECIMO as Commissioner-General EMO MILANO 2015 – “It’s exactly for this reason that we decided to include additive manufacturing into the technological index of products of the world exhibition of the sector: this is one of the technologies that will be more developed in future and to which the tradeshow will dedicate a special in-depth focus”.
150,000 visitors from about 100 countries: these are the figures expected for EMO MILANO 2015, edition which will also take advantage of the concurrence with EXPO 2015. On this occasion Milan will show a completely renovated look and an improved traffic flow, even thanks to a revised and strengthened public transport service.
Directly connected with the exhibition centre of fieramilano Rho-Pero, the website of Expo 2015 will offer the trade operators of EMO MILANO 2015 a lot of attractions for a unique programme of fringe events. In this respect, the concurrence of the two events will create really interesting synergies for the hundreds of thousands of visitors who will be coming to Milan from every corner of the globe.
“As organizers of this exhibition – goes on Pier Luigi Streparava – we are committed to transforming the concurrence of the two tradeshows into real opportunities for our operators, by planning “connection activities” and by activating numerous special services. An example is the programme Hospitality which timely lists a large range of accommodation solutions reserved for the trade operators that will take part in EMO MILANO 2015”.
“From last December we have indeed activated a lot of agreements which allow, through the website of the exhibition www.emo-milano.com, the booking of accommodation solutions in and around Milan before, during and after the exhibition period; in addition to this there is also a parking reservation service – concludes Pier Luigi Streparava”.
“On the other hand, after a particularly critical 2013, the year 2014, – which marked the trend reversal by showing a growth in production (+4.6%) and consumption (+18.2%), – will launch a new period of development for the consumption of machine tools in Italy. This will actualize with stronger and stronger increases: +4.6% in 2015, +5.9% in 2016, +8.1% in 2017 (Oxford of Economics figures), to the benefit of EMO MILANO 2015 and of those who will participate in the world exhibition” – points out Alfredo Mariotti.
