Automation solutions for the Italian industry

In its 5th consecutive year, SPS IPC Drives Italia has become the reference point for Italian OEMs and, as a result, for those looking to Italy as a potential market for their industrial automation products and solutions.

Thanks to a very strong OEM sector, both for the performance and the quality of the machines it produces, Italy has historically been the 2nd European market for automation - in 2014 the sector grew by 6%.

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.
