It will be the second year for MachTech & METAL, IFAM, INTRONIKA and PLAST exhibitions to demonstrate innovations in mechanical engineering, metallurgy, foundry and tooling (MachTech & METAL), as well as in Automation, Robotics and Mechatronics (IFAM), telecommunications and electronics industries (INTRONIKA) and the sector of  Plastic and Rubber Industry (PLAST).

The Forum on these strategic industrial sectors will be held from 6 – 8 March, 2013 at Inter Expo Center, Sofia.

The organizers – the Bulgarian Branch Chamber of Machine Buiding , the Bulgarian Polymers Association,ICMdoo Slovenia and Bulgarreklama Agency , plan to expand this projects by continuous recruitment of  new exhibitors.

Faster processing , accuracy, higher-performance and energy efficiency – these should be just a few of  the new features of excellence of the exhibited industrial products.

There will be demonstrations of construction and technology innovations, new series of machines and components for machinery, equipment, tooling and other products.

The participant list includes early birds such as well-recognized engineering and trading companies from Bulgaria, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, Korea, Greece and other countries to demonstrate latest developments in engineering. There are registered exhibitors like Guehring Bulgaria , Alflet Engineering, LD, Lazatek, Ingmar / TRUMPF, Lakprom, Caproni, KIMEX, industrial Fasteners Ltd, LnV-CnC. The product range includes metalworking and machine tools – milling, drilling, grinding, machines with integrated features for manufacturing of high-precision parts and tool sharpening , solutions for remote diagnostics and analysis,etc. How to develop product design and functionality is to be showcased with specific exhibits made by companies with strong corporate image and positioning in international markets.

TheCNCsystems and drives, robotization of processes and latest generation of high-performance machines will demonstrate cutting-edge achievements in automation. Multifunction machines and robotics increasingly become a substantial part of the manufacturing sector. What is the scope of these technologies, which industrial processes should be the first to switch to „green wave“, how to accelerate the growth of fundamental industries – that  would be suggested by the creators and and retailers of modern electronics and telecommunication solutions.

The range of participants is already populated by producers and distributors from theUSA,Italy,Israel,Germany,Bulgariaand other countries, such as Hansa Flex, PAPE, VSK Kentavar, ISKRA, SILATRONIK, PANCHIM Ltd.,VECO,TMG“Target Media Group“, IB Blumenauer , Spinner Werkzeugmaschinenfabrik ,and more.

Their production is widely used in industry, agriculture, road construction and other fields, and includes a wide range of equipment, hydraulic systems and components, equipment forCNCmachines, tools, newly-developed products in electronics, equipment for potentially explosive atmospheres with high humidity resistance , equipment for electric trucks, traffic signals lighting solutions, polycarbonate multiwall sheets, various machinery for diversed machine-buiding activities.

The organizers of MachTech & METAL, IFAM, INTRONIKA and PLAST will apply flexible incentives to stimulate the participants in the industrial forums.

Companies having started their business 14 months before the start of the exhibition may benefit 40% discount for rental of exhibition space. The „Young Entrepreneur“ module designed by the organizers will provide start-up entrepreneurs with favourable conditions to  develop their potential ,to promote and strengthen their achievements in the industrial sector.

The preparation work of a Brokerage event during Industry MatchMaking-IMM 2013 is also on the way, supported by Enterprise Europe Network – the largest information network in support of small and medium-sized business, funded by the European Commission.

Bulgarian Industrial Association – Union of the Bulgarian business and the Applied Research and Communications Fund – part of the European Network for SMEs, in co-operation with Inter Expo Center and ICMdoo, will provide conditions for free participation in bilateral meetings for business cooperation and technology transfer (more info on the Brokerage event at : www.ierc.bia-bg.com and www.arcfund.net

This is expected to create better opportunities for business participants involved in the search for partners for cooperation in business, research, technology transfers, advice on European regulations, existing programs and funding opportunities.
