This is a satisfactory number, in line with the expectations for an event that took place during the health emergency, but in full respect of all rules to contain the

A little more than two months are left to 32.BI-MU, the Italian event of reference for the world of machine tools, robotics and automation, on the scene from 14 to 17 October 2020 in the exhibition centre of fieramilano Rho. Promoted by UCIMU-SISTEMI PER PRODURRE, the Italian machine tools, robots and automation systems manufacturers' association, and organised by EFIM-ENTE FIERE ITALIANE MACCHINE, despite the particular context conditions, this year’s edition shows a good degree of participation by exhibitors, a wide technological index of products and a positive expectation of attendance.

As expected, there was again a decrease in the index of the orders collected by the Italian machine tool manufacturers in the second quarter of 2020. In particular, according to the data processed by the Economic Studies Department & Business Culture of UCIMU-SISTEMI PER PRODURRE, in the period April-June, the index registered a 39.1% downturn compared with the same period of 2019. The outcome was due both to the reduction in the orders collected by Italian manufacturers on the domestic market (-44.7%) and to the fall reported on the foreign market (-37.8%). This is the actual figure
