LAMIERA Dates Changed to May 26-29, 2021

Cinisello Balsamo, Italy – The new date of LAMIERA Show has been recently announced by UCIMU-SISTEMI PER PRODURRE as May 26-29, 2021. The international calendar of exhibitions is continuously changing due to the Covid-19 pandemic. For the biennial trade show dedicated to machine tools and technologies for Sheet Metal Forming and Processing it is a ‘return to the origins’, as the exhibition has always been held in May.

According to Massimo Carboniero, President, UCIMU, the choice of bringing forward the event arose from the need to offer maximum opportunities of visibility to the exhibiting companies, especially to the Italian ones, which have the possibility to take part in two events of great importance in 2021: LAMIERA and EMO MILANO 2021, the World Metalworking Exhibition, alternately hosted in Hanover and Milan.

Alfredo Mariotti, General Manager of UCIMU stated, “Unfortunately, the schizophrenia driving the choices of some exhibition organisers makes it really difficult for the enterprises to manage their participation in the trade shows, as they risk seeing an overlapping of the dates of the events in which they usually take part. Therefore, in order to meet the requirements of the exhibiting companies in the best way, we decided to move LAMIERA to the end of May, feeling sure that the marketing and promotion activities of the enterprises will be facilitated, as they remain strictly connected with the attendance at the sector’s trade shows, even in difficult periods such as the present one.”

Carboniero further elaborated, “After all, the data processed by the Economic Studies Department & Business Culture of UCIMU, based on the survey of Oxford Economics highlight that after the slowdown of the current year, in 2021, investments in new production technologies should rise again. The demand for new machine tools in Italy is thus expected to grow by 31.5 percent versus 2020, exceeding 3.5 billion Euro. Even Europe should be more dynamic, increasing consumption by 19.5 percent to nearly 18 billion Euro.”

Hence, it is expected that the best international product ranges of Sheet Metal Forming, Cutting and Processing machines and technologies, as well as connectivity, robotics and automation solutions for the industry will be showcased at fieramilano Rho from May 26 – 29, 2021.

Promoted by UCIMU-SISTEMI PER PRODURRE, the Italian machine tools, robots and automation systems manufacturers' association, and organised by CEU-CENTRO ESPOSIZIONI UCIMU, LAMIERA 2021 aims at repeating the success and the great results of the past years, extending the positive streak started in 2016.

Machines, plants and equipment for processing and cutting sheet metal, tubes, sections, wires, metal structural work, presses, dies and moulds, welding, surface treatments and finishing, robots, automation, parts, components, accessories, tooling, fastener materials, technical and industrial subcontracting, control and quality systems, metrology, software, micromachining, additive technologies and solutions for the digital factory and energy and production streamlining represent the heart of the exhibition.

The 2021 edition of the event will be organised according to the now well-established model: around the offering of metal forming machines and technologies displayed, there will be dedicated Innovation Areas. Robot Planet, centred upon industrial robots, integrators and machine-tending systems; Fabbricafutura, dedicated to software and technologies for connectivity and data management; Box Consulting, a space for consultants and trainers; Saldatech, focused on the welding sector; Fastener Industry, dedicated to screws, bolts, fastening and clamping systems; EcoCoatech, regarding the processes for sheet-metal painting and coating and Blech Italy, reserved for subcontracting and services for the industry.
