Focus on 2014 edition
Believing in the effectiveness of differentiation, METEF-FOUNDEQ has researched and will provide customised solutions for exhibitors, targeted services, and different and effective instruments to promote and realise concrete opportunities for demand and supply at an international level, in the belief that an international event must be able to meet the diverse and varied needs of operators.
Conceived as the exhibition dedicated to the aluminum industry, over the years METEF has expanded the business sectors represented, and now includes all metals and the complete production chain with FOUNDEQ – international foundry equipment exhibition, METALRICICLO, dedicated to the industrial recovery and recycling of materials and now, presenting for the first time in Verona, ALUMOTIVE, organised under the patronage of ANFIA, the exhibition dedicated to innovative solutions, components, and technological materials for the original equipment used in the transport industry.
There will also be great attention given to technology transfer through round tables, technical forums, and seminars. The 2014 edition of METEF-FOUNDEQ will host numerous conferences and seminars of a technical-commercial nature with presentations by industry experts on the latest innovations in the aluminium and metals industry.
METEF 2014 and the parallel exhibitions aim to increase the number and quality of contacts thanks to the collaboration with industry associations AMAFOND, CEMAFON, and ASSOMET.
