THE ADVANCED MANUFACTURING SECTOR RESUMES INTERNATIONAL ACTIVITY

After the break in trade fair activity caused by the pandemic, businesses in the machine tool and advanced manufacturing technologies sectors are resuming their international promotion with an intense final quarter this year.

First up, the French city of Lyon held the GLOBAL INDUSTRIE fair from 6 to 9 September, with the participation of sixteen manufacturers: CORREA, DANOBAT, DENN, DIPER, FAGOR AUTOMATION, GH GROUP, GRUPO GOMUR, GRINDEL, GURUTZPE, LANTEK, MITXELENA, NAIVAN, ONA, SORALUCE, TRIMEK and ZUBIOLA.

Likewise, this week the FABTECH is being held in Chicago, in which a number of AFM companies such as DENN, GEKA, GH GROUP, LANTEK and TECOI are taking part.

Next up is EMO MILANO 2021, the world’s top fair in the sector, to be held this year in Milan from 4 to 10 October. There, 34 AFM Cluster associates will exhibit their products directly in the 2,808 m² exhibition space. Italy is one of the main export destinations for Spain and there has been a significant upswing in recent months driven by a tax stimulus package introduced by its government. The event will be hosted in Milan, the regional capital with the highest industrial density in Italy, home to powerful industrial sectors, such as car manufacturing, machine tools, heavy machinery, chemical industries, etc.

October will also bring the event + INDUSTRY, which will run from the 26th to the 28th of the month, encompassing seven trade fairs and marking the European benchmark event in terms of manufacture and supplies for industry 4.0. AFM Cluster will have an important presence with more than 75 associated companies and a stand with 22 companies grouped together. In addition, at + INDUSTRY, AFM will run the 6th Advanced and Digital Manufacturing Conference, which offers SMEs, startups, large companies, training and research centres the opportunity to connect with potential customers and suppliers, as well as form partnerships for technological commercial deals and R&D&i projects.

Completing the list of October events is BLECHEXPO fair, which will be held in Stuttgart (Germany) between 26 and 29 October, with the participation of eleven companies: ATHADER, DENN, DIMECO, EKICONTROL, FAGOR ARRASATE, GARABI, GOIZPER, LANTEK, LOIRE GESTAMP, MHG and NIDEC ARISA. 

And to end the year, and round out the calendar of international events for 2021, EMAF will be taking place in Oporto (Portugal) from 1 to 4 December.
