In a global economic context characterized by stagnation, the activity carried out by Acimall to support “Made in Italy” will be increasingly strong. During the next weeks 2009 promotional program will set off. It is a plan to support the presence of Italian companies in all the most important markets of the world, mainly through events and collective participations at exhibitions and shows organized with the cooperation of Ice, the Italian Foreign Trade Institute.
The first Italian collective participation of Ice and Acimall will take place in New Delhi in 2009, during the first edition of “Delhiwood” – which will be held in the Pragati Maidan exhibition center in February 14-17.
In India, in 230 sqm surface in Hall 18, 14 Italian companies will exhibit their solutions: A. Costa Righi, A. Cremona, BigonDry, Filtermedia, Freud Pozzo, Greda, Imal, Industria Chimica Adriatica, Isap, Italpresse, Iwtc Training center (the professional institute in Bangalore – a project in which Acimall is directly involved), Nordutensili, Storti, Tecnomec and Tvm-termoventilmec.
In the same period – and more precisely from 17 to 20 February – 19 companies will cover 590 sqm exhibition surface in Shanghai during “Woodmac China”. This collective group set up by Ice-Acimall includes A. Cremona, Bup Utensili, Coral, Elettomeccanica G. Colombo, Filtermedia, Freud Pozzo, Hcd, Imal, Imeas, Isap, Italpresse, Makor, Mvm, Paolino Bacci, Prima Electronics, Schiavon, Scm Group and Teknomotor.
TRAINING: THE ATTENTION IS FOCUSED ON YOUNG PEOPLE
This year – in addition to the traditional collective groups and technical forums (organized in Croatia, Laos, Cambodia and India) – the attention will be focused on young people. The main innovations are represented by Ice-Acimall Awards which – this year – will be organized in India, USA and Canada. The Awards -consisting of a study trip to Italy – will be given to the students providing the best written analysis about Italian technologies and problem-solving approach.
As part of this project, in March a group of students and teachers of Georgia Tech University of Atlanta (Usa) will come to Acimall to discover Italian technologies with a more detailed approach, in particular for panel machining.
The training activity of Awct in Bangalore – the professional institute stemmed from the joint-venture between Acimall, Ice and the local University Iwst – continues with great success enriched by new courses on modern NC machines.
As to promotion and market monitoring, this year Acimall will attend more than 20 exhibitions all over the world: a real support for the export activities of Italian companies providing technologies for wood and wood-based material processing.
