The president of Comacomp, the Italian association which represents component manufacturers within FederUnacoma, Alessandro Malavolti, commented, “Out industries are facing highly skilled competition even though our country has reached the highest levels of quality production and capacities for innovation and can vaunt a standing of great prestige on the international markets.”
Components manufacturers are distributed throughout all the Italian regions but in some there are especially significant concentrations of these specialized companies. This state of affairs will be reflected in the EIMA Components Salon which will host as many as 85 companies from the Reggio Emilia, 42 from Modena, 40 from Bologna and many others from the industrial districts around Brescia, Milan and Mantua.
“Our displays of components will be an appointment for refined palates because on offer will be a selection of technologies for adding decisive improvements to the overall performance and quality of machinery. Very often in mechanics the parts which are not visible are the most important and electronic applications are taking on increasing value, those capable of making a machine more and more reliable, intelligent and sensitive as regards the safety of the operator and respect for the environment,” Malavolti declared.
