Great success of attendance for 25.bi-mu/sfortec

Over 96,000 visitors for the event promoted by ucimu-sistemi per produrre 25.BI-MU/SFORTEC met with a great success of attendance. The event, promoted by UCIMU-SISTEMI PER PRODURRE, took place from 5 to 10 October 2006, in the new fairground of Fiera Milano.

Over 96,000 visitors have been registered at the show, i.e. a good 20% more than in the previous edition.
The exhibition, proposing the offer of machine tools, robots, automation and relevant auxiliary products (NC, tools, components and accessories), along with a wide overview of technical sub-contracting, reaffirms its importance as a meeting occasion that cannot be renounced by the operators of the manufacturing industry who flocked to Milan from all over the world.
Indeed, more than 5,000 foreign visitors from 82 countries, 25% more than in the 2004 edition, entered 25.BI-MU/SFORTEC.
This result confirms and emphasizes the international character of this show, whose protagonists were 1771 exhibiting enterprises, of which 42% were from abroad and represented 30 countries.
Proposed on a net exhibition surface of over 66,000 sq m in the functional, state-of-the-art Fiera Milano exhibition complex, the supply on show, also for this 2006 edition, concerned all fields: from metal forming and cutting to automation, witnessing the comprehensiveness of the event, capable of offering a complete production overview of the entire sector.
As in the tradition,  25.BI-MU, whose offer took shape in the around 4,000 machines exhibited, for a total value of 350 million euro, has been the stage for the promotion action of the sector “Made by Italians”, planned by ICE (Italian Institute for Foreign Trade) with UCIMU-SISTEMI PER PRODURRE. This initiative implied the organization of a cycle of meetings between Italian exhibitors and user-enterprises from all over the world.
As usual, the biennial machine tool exhibition has been accompanied with SFORTEC, the show of technical sub-contracting, components and structural machining, promoted by CIS-COMITATO INTERASSOCIATIVO SUBFORNITURA (Interassociative Sub-Contracting Committee), which saw the participation of 78 exhibitors.
Numerous supplementary events have been organized with the purpose of increasing the participation value of all the operators gathered in Milan.
From the specialized shows, such as THE WORLD OF WELDING, AMMTECH: THE WORLD OF ASSEMBLY and THE WORLD OF MOULDS AND DIES, to the conferences of QUALITY BRIDGE addressed to the analysis of the subjects of greatest interest for the sector operators. From the          documentary film “BI-MU - HALF A CENTURY ON SHOW” that, through a sequence of images from the past, told the history of the exhibition and of the sector industry to PIANETA GIOVANI (Planet of the Young). This usual appointment, intended to encourage the meeting between the young people and the industry of production systems, recorded the participation of some thousand students invited by the Association of Italian machine tool, robot and automation Manufacturers.
www.bimu-sfortec.com, the exhibition website, proposes information and details concerning the event, press material, besides a direct access to 25.BI-MU and SFORTEC catalogues, hosted on the expopage web portal, www.expopage.net.  Created by Fiera Milano and by the organizers of the main shows taking place in Milan, the web portal offers the operators the opportunity for entering one of the widest business communities on the web.
The greatest change for the next edition, scheduled to take place from 3 to 7 October 2008, will be the concentration of the exhibition period. In reply to the requests of the exhibitors, who wish to exploit their participation in the show to the utmost, starting from 26.BI-MU/SFORTEC, the biennial machine tool exhibition will have a new length. Concentrated into five days, the show will fall into line with the most important exhibitions of the sector. The first among all of them will be EMO, which, from the next edition (Hanover 2007), will have a six-day length.
