Promoted by CECIMO and organised by UCIMU, the recent EMO Milano 2021 exhibition registered more than 60,000 visitors from 91 countries. Luigi Galdabini, general commissioner of EMO Milano 2021, states: “The exhibition data sets confirm the value of EMO, which is considered a reference point for the worldwide industry of machine tools, robots and automation systems. In such a complicated, historic moment, where the public health emergency is not yet completely over, EMO showed its importance.”

Alfredo Mariotti, director of the exhibition, adds: “A very large number of exhibitors have expressed their full satisfaction with the results achieved over the six exhibition days. ‘Qualified and very motivated visitors’, ‘a duly organised trade show in all its details and not least those related to safety’: these are the most common expressions of appreciation received both from habitual exhibitors at the show and from companies that have not participated previously.”
