From March 6 to 8, the twenty-second edition of MECSPE, the international fair for specialized mechanics, took place in the halls of Bologna Fiere. This event is a must-attend for Cablotech, a company that has been designing and manufacturing custom wiring for the most advanced sectors of the industry for over 30 years.

This year too, CEO Massimiliano Golfieri and colleagues from the commercial office enthusiastically welcomed visitors to their stand located in the pavilion reserved for the Electronics Area. The three days of the fair were intense and full of meetings, exchanges, and innovations, confirming the importance of MECSPE as an international showcase for the sector’s excellences.

A particularly positive note of this edition was the increase in visits from buyers in the electromedical sector, who showed great interest in Cablotech’s innovative solutions. Visitors asked specific and timely questions, to which the Cablotech team responded with expertise and professionalism, highlighting their experience and the ability to offer customized solutions for the most complex needs, as electromechanical assemblies.

Now that the fair has concluded, the post-event phase begins, equally important and demanding. The colleagues from the commercial and technical offices are working to recontact the buyers met during the fair, formulate proposals and detailed estimates, resolve more technical and specific queries, and provide tailor-made solutions. This follow-up work is crucial for consolidating relationships with potential clients and turning the interest shown during the fair into concrete business opportunities.

Cablotech looks to the future with confidence, bolstered by the positive results achieved during MECSPE 2024. The company hopes that this edition will lead to interesting contacts and stimulating news, contributing to strengthening its leadership position in the custom wiring sector and projecting it towards new challenges and goals.

Also this year Cablotech participated in the FARETE fair which took place on September 6th and 7th, 2023 in the pavilions of Bologna Fiere.
FARETE is “the event”: the unmissable annual appointment that marks the resumption of commercial and training activities after the summer break.
The two-day event, organized by Confindustria with and for its members, is designed and created to make the businessmen meet themselves, build and strengthen relationships and develop new business opportunities.

Ten years of growth and opportunities

This year the event celebrated its “first” 10 years: born in 2012, it has grown and expanded year after year, becoming a fundamental and highly attended event for local companies.
The event always has a very intense program: the days are full of opportunities for networking, meetings, discussions, training and relationships.

Innovation and international Focus: Italy-Germany

The key appointment of the first day is the Public Assembly of Confindustria Emilia; every year the topic covered is different, but always closely linked to current events.
This year we talked about innvoation, presenting the experiences of a dozen companies that are local excellences and distinguish themselves for their “know-how” in making unique products: just to name a few, from Ducati Motor Holding, Marposs, Philip Morris Italia , Piquadro and Poggipolini.

On the second day, one of the most important events was the conference “Italy-Germany: transitions, new supply chain geographies and opportunities for PMIs”.
The aim was to analyze the effects of the pandemic and the Russian-Ukrainian conflict which led to a reorganization of economic relationships between companies from different geographical areas.

The procurement leaders of large groups in Germany, which is Italy’s main commercial partner, were invited to understand what opportunities could be opened up to Italian PMIs in the near future.
The conference was attended by buyers from large supply chain companies in the machinery, automotive and pharmaceutical sectors, for example Boehringer.

B2B meetings

Another key appointment of the fair are B2B at the International Club.
Every year, for this occasion, Confindutria organizes the incoming of numerous interntional buyers who wish to meet Italian PMIs to create new partnerships and new commercial relationships.

Cablotech also actively participated in these meetings, presenting itself with an agenda full of appointments divided between the two days, filled in by the Sales Office in direct cooperation with the Management, following an attentive analysis of the list of international operators present at the initiative, provided by Confindustria, and the commercial goal of their participation.

Feedbacks and future prospects for Cablotech

The Management of Cablotech was pleasantly surprised by the highly heterogeneous presence of the buyers, both in terms of sector to which they belong but also and above all of origin: operators who have undertaken considerable travels in search of solutions and new opportunities to make improvements in their markets, which range from the more strictly commercial sector to that of civil engineering.

No less interesting were the visits to our stand and the meetings between the pavilions, in which buyers of mostly Italian origin in this case, whose gaze was captured by the images of the exhibition panels or the company video, saw in us a potential partner able of satisfying your needs in terms of wiring and electrical panels.
There was also the opportunity to revive existing relationships, evaluating, why not, new opportunities.

This year’s experience was therefore particularly satisfying in its entirety and Cablotech Sales Office is already working in the back office to analyze the requests received from the first day of the fair, hoping they will lead to interesting developments.

Also this year, Cablotech attended with great enthusiasm at the twenty-first edition of the MECSPE Fair, which took place from 29 to 31 of March at the exhibition center of Bologna Fiere.
MECSPE is the leading Italian B2B event dedicated to technologies and innovations for manufacturing, with a specific area reserved for Electronic Subcontracting.

This event represents a unique opportunity for companies specializing in the design and assembly of electronic components, allowing them to exhibit cutting-edge mechatronic skills and solutions. At the same time, it promotes the creation of a network of contacts between different realities with the aim to develop increasingly performing, intelligent products in line with current market needs.

Located in Hall 28, Cablotech exhibited numerous kinds of wirings that are made ad hoc on customer request, attracting the interest not only of already established customers, but also of representatives of companies operating in different sectors, such as defence, transport and industrial applications, both Italian and foreign. The company had the opportunity to present its services of electrical wiring, electrical panels and electromechanical assemblies to an increasingly wide and interested public.

Our visitors had the opportunity to meet with the company team who are experts in both the technical and commercial fields.

Thanks to the experience gained over the years, customized solutions have been proposed for the different needs of visitors, reflecting the personalized and attentive approach to specific requests that has always distinguished the philosophy of Cablotech.

Cablotech also participated successfully in the initiative of B2B meetings organized during the fair, meeting foreign buyers and receiving positive feedback from Swiss and German companies present in the buyer lounge.

Attendance in MECSPE 2023 proved to be an extremely profitable experience for Cablotech, allowing the company to collect new contacts and interesting ideas for its development and future growth. The company looks forward to the next appointment with MECSPE, which will take place from 6 to 8 March 2024 again at the Bologna Fiere exhibition centre.
In the meantime we are preparing for the 10th edition of Farete, scheduled for 6 and 7 September, in the exhibition center of Bologna, too.

In conclusion, the presence of Cablotech at MECSPE 2023 confirmed the company’s leading role in the customized wiring sector and further strengthened its position on the Italian and European market.

Participation in events such as MECSPE and Farete represent fundamental stages in the company’s growth and consolidation path.

MECSPE 19th edition, the largest Italian reference fair for manufacturing and industry 4.0, took place from 23 to 25 November 2021 for the first time at BolognaFiere.

Bologna center is the second largest exhibition plant in Italy and among the top ten at European level. This has favored the internationalization activities long undertaken by MECSPE, thanks to the consolidated experience of Bologna fair body on international markets and the collaboration with the relevant institutions such as ICE / Italian Trade Agency.

The formula of the fair is unchanged, continuing to represent all those sectors that have always distinguished the event, creating an ever-growing synergy between the various thematic halls and an ever-increasing opportunity for matching between exhibitors and visitors.
