"The one that has passed since the last edition - explained Dell'Orto - was in fact a very demanding year, during which we fielded a series of important strategic investments, at different latitudes, which allowed us to further raise the undisputed value of our exhibition event. It was not easy, but after these exciting six days we can proudly say that we are even more attractive, more competitive and essential for the sector and that we have unequivocally contributed to filling EICMA with novelties ".
