Italy: a real business opportunity

Italy‘s export of machinery shows positive numbers and it is, along with Germany, the only EU country to be able to rely

on a balance of trade surplus thanks to the export of automation machinery.

Attending SPS IPC Drives Italia is therefore the best opportunity to meet the market players - distributors, producers,

manufacturers and suppliers - and establish successful business and technical partnerships.
