Sense of caution
It was not so much the Italian Bimu, where, while the first few days did not appear that many professionals had come close to the fiera Milano, final data from the Organization say the opposite and place the number at a figure similar to the previous edition.Quite an achievement, given the circumstances. It should be however that fair organizations elites give more value to the numbers of visitors and exhibitors who claim. There are a series of rules that force to unify criteria when it comes to counting, but nobody can escape that sometimes is played to the confusion, mixing, for example, direct exhibitors with indirect, and that is used with excess 'tricks' with the visitors.Perhaps for this reason that very rarely a fair officially lose visitors or exhibitors.
But in recent months, the feelings or even the facts have been stubborn. The situation is delicate and the precaution is the dominant note. In relation to the Bimu, the Association of manufacturers of machine - tools (AFM), says that "it has been in line with the overall results seen at national exhibitions that have taken place previously." "In other words, found the situation of uncertainty and caution that currently have business investment in equipment and technology." The best sensations perceived possibly in Maquitec, accepting of course subjective in this statement.
Upon completion, we interviewed Josep Morell, President of the Organizing Committee, who accepted criticisms by the same dates, but at the same time is very satisfied with the results. "Assistance, exhibiting surface, stands and business data have been above forecasts, taking into account the present time".
Más allá de pessimisms or optimismos, subjective assessments or objective facts, the truth is that we are in a time of restraint and good expectations of the sector pointed a few months ago are being postponed.
