When the curtain closed on the sixth day of EMO Milano 2009, the biennial machine tool and manufacturing trade show had played host to 124,660 visitors representing 99 countries and five continents. More than 40 percent of that total consisted of non-European visitors, emphasizing the international nature of the event, sponsors say. The show, which took place October 5 through 10 at the Fieramilano exhibition center in Milan, Italy, attracted more than 1,400 exhibitors from 39 different countries.
CECIMO, an organization representing the interests of the European machine tool industry that promoted the show, expects total production of machine tools in 2009 to be down by 37 percent compared with last year. In these circumstances, the European industry must embrace innovation and convince clients to use more efficient, precise and environmentally friendly technologies, the organization says. EMO returns to Milan in 2015 after stints in Hannover, Germany for the 2011 and 2013 shows.
