RECORD NUMBERS FOR EMO MILAN 2015: 155.362 VISITORS FROM 120 COUNTRIES

After six years, EMO, the worldwide exhibition of machine tools is back in Italy. Promoted by CECIMO, the European Association for Machine Tool Industries, the tradeshow will take place from the 5th to the 10th of October 2015 in the prestigious exhibition centre of fieramilano.

The biennial travelling exhibition, EMO – whose trademark is owned by CECIMO – has chosen Milan as one of its locations alternating with Hanover: this is a confirmation of the efficiency of the organisation, relying on a long-standing experience in the organisation of events and of the expertise of the Italian industry which ranks fourth worldwide forproduction and third for export.

With 120,000 square meters of net exhibition space booked and distributed in 12 halls, EMO MILANO 2015has exceeded the threshold of 95,000 sqm of exhibition occupied by the last edition of EMO MILANO (2009).

More than 1,600 companies are registered at EMO MILANO 2015. The leaders in this ranking are the “masters of the house”, Italians, closely followed by the Germans; the Taiwanese are ranking third, followed by Chinese and Swiss exhibitors.

The halls of the exhibition centre of fieramilano Rho-Pero will host the biggest factory in the world, where machine tools, robots, automation, additive manufacturing, mechatronic solutions and auxiliary technologies will be exhibited, expressing the sector’s international production,representing an industry that accounts for 64 billion euros.

“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 sector’s leading international exhibition: this is one of the technologies that will be increasingly developed in future and to which the tradeshow will dedicate a special in-depth focus”.

150,000 visitors from approximately 100 countries: these are the figures expected for EMO MILANO 2015, an 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, thanks to a revised and strengthened public transport service.

Directly connected with the exhibition centre of fieramilano Rho-Pero, Expo 2015 will offer the trade operators of EMO MILANO 2015 many 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.
