Milan – Italy, January 2017 – Expectation is growing for the debut in Milan of LAMIERA, the international biennial exhibition dedicated to the metal forming machine tool industry and to all innovative technologies related to the sector: it will be on stage at fieramilano Rho from 17 to 20 May 2017.

By comparing the number of applications for exhibiting, collected by the deadline (30 November 2016) for the presentation of the application forms, the 2017 edition of LAMIERA definitely surpassed the previous one, reporting a 50% increase. Besides the confirmations of usual exhibitors, there are numerous new exhibitors, many of them coming from abroad directly.

Milan and the odd years are thus proving to be a choice appreciated by the operators of the sector; actually, they have replied to the organisers' call largely in advance, by booking spaces, within the two halls reserved for the event, much before the deadline.

As usual, the collection of applications continues after the deadline and the trend registered by the organisation office in the month of December is very positive, as a testimony to the interest shown in the event by the public.

The spotlight will be on: sheet metal forming machines, bar, tube and section working machines, presses, blanking and punching machines, laser, robots, automation, moulds and dies, heat treatments, surface-finishing and treatment, wires and metal carpentry, subcontracting, but not only this .....

To complete the trade fair promoted by UCIMU-SISTEMI PER PRODURRE and organised by CEU-CENTRO ESPOSIZIONI UCIMU there will also be new exhibition areas focused on products and solutions related to metal forming technologies. It is the case of Fastener Industry that will show the best product ranges with regard to screws, bolts, fastening and clamping systems; Blech Italy Service will be centred on technical subcontracting and services for the industry and Ecocoatech, a space organised in cooperation with ANVER, Italian Association of Industrial Coaters, will present all the most innovative inter-operational processes for sheet metal painting and coating.

The comprehensive and varied product offering on show will attract operators from every part of the world. The networking between exhibitors and visitors will be also encouraged through the initiative, promoted by the Association in cooperation with the Ministry of Economic Development and ICE-Italian Trade Agency. This project consists in inviting delegations of foreign operators coming from the most dynamic and promising markets, such as: Algeria, Brazil, Canada, China, Croatia, Germany, India, Iran, Morocco, Mexico, Poland, Russia and Serbia.
