Tecnargilla 2008

The time is coming around for Tecnargilla, the most important international showcase of supplies for the ceramics industry, organised by Rimini Fiera in partnership with ACIMAC (the association of Italian manufacturers of machinery and equipment for ceramics) and scheduled to be held from 30th September to 4th October in Rimini. The event is eagerly awaited by ceramics manufacturers, and its many exhibitors are now putting the final touches on the new technologies they will be presenting there. Rimini is therefore gearing up to house the biennial showcase that those in the trade consider a 'boutique' of new technology and a sneak preview of the ceramics of the future. Machinery and equipment for the production of tiles, bathroom fixtures, and brick; glazes and pigments, designs and aesthetic solutions for the ceramics of the future, raw materials and services; cutting-edge ceramics: Tecnargilla is the most complete trade fair there is, given its exhaustive product range.

Italian Companies take the Spotlight at the Fair
Once again, Italian companies will be playing the leading role in Tecnargilla 2008. ACIMAC president Pierluigi Ponzoni shared his comments on this point. 'All the Italian companies are putting everything they have into preparation for the fair,' Ponzoni says, 'and they’ll be presenting cutting-edge ideas that demonstrate their unchallenged leadership position. This is the most important international trade fair in the sector, and that's why we intend to reaffirm what we are capable of, to show the world our energy and ongoing flair for innovation'. Ponzoni recaps the key strengths of Tecnargilla: 'The Rimini expo is unparalleled in terms of the range and quality of its exhibitors, its capacity to draw visitors, its hospitality, logistics, venues, and exhibit organisation. The location is another huge advantage: it’s an Italian fair and Italy is unquestionably the cradle of the ceramics industry'.


Tecnargilla Scheduled at the Same Time as Cersaie
The executive board of ACIMAC has decided to completely match up the dates of Tecnargilla and Cersaie, to make attendance easier for those coming from other continents. 'I expect this experiment to have excellent results. For future Tecnargilla exhibitions,' says Ponzoni, 'we will chose the best strategy on a case-by-case basis. I think Tecnargilla 2008 is going to be a success. It’s a well-established, eagerly awaited event, coming at a time that may not be great for our sector, but is strategic for technology and service providers. It's important to be there and to be there in the best, most efficient way possible, since despite current market circumstances, the 30,000-some professional visitors to the expo will be arriving with high expectations and keen curiosity. The week of Tecnargilla and Cersaie is a must for anyone in the world who produces ceramics.'
