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 organisation apparatus relying on a long-standing experience in the organisation 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 sq m 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 sq m.
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".
