THE PRESENTATIONOF THE MATERIAL HANDLING OBSERVATORY

At Rimini expo centre important in-depth discussions with Cresme and Ascomac

Rimini, 11th April 2017 – Today was a day of important in-depth discussions at Rimini expo centre, for the companies in the sectors of machinery, vehicles and plant for waste treatment, collection and transport, as well as for handling and lifting, and the remediation and relative upgrading of contaminated sites.

A meeting in preparation for the next appointment with the great green technology platform ECOMONDO and KEY ENERGY, being held under the banner of IEG (Italian Exhibition Group) from 7th to 10th November 2017 at Rimini Expo Centre.

CRESME, the Economic and Social Construction Market Research Centre, presented the new Survey Service of the MHZ (Material Handling) machine sector, which completes the sector Observatory, a true reference facility full of data and indications of priority, among which sustainability and energy efficiency currently stand out, and are the fundamental issues at Ecomondo and Key Energy (Rimini expo centre, 7 – 10 November).

The partner of IEG (Italian Exhibition Group, the company founded by the merger between Rimini Fiera and Fiera did Vicenza) for this initiative is ASCOMAC,Italy’s National Machinery Trade Federation, a member of Confcommercio (100 companies divided into five Category Unions:Cantiermacchine, Cogena, Intemac, Unicea and Unimot), whose members invest in products with high energy and environment efficiency.

Ascomac chairman Ruggero Riva confirms:“We have a long-standing relationship with Ecomondo and Key Energy.Today we have further strengthened it with an undertaking to organize specific conferences on energy efficiency and land safety measures.Issues our members have at heart, and are committed – with the Zero-impact worksite project – to testifying to the legality and sustainability of products, service, actions and behaviour.”

Cantiermacchine chairman Matteo Artioli continues:“We came to Rimini expo centre with a vast representation of all five category unions, precisely to show that the issues of Ecomondo and Key Energy are part of the values we uphold.We intend offering our contribution to updating the machinery, thus helping to improve the environment.”

Unimot chairman Massimo Donà adds:“There are increasingly widespread shared opinions on the effects of manufacture in the environment field, which has positive across-the-board consequences.We motor distributors are to the fore when there’s talk of improved efficiency and cogeneration, and at Ecomondo and Key Energy where are perfectly at home, as they are events addressing an extremely interesting specialist market.”

Regarding the Observatory, CRESME director Lorenzo Bellicini explains:“We provide private sector and public institutions information describing and forecasting construction market trends.Now with ASCOMAC we share information of use to the entire sector.Because machinery sector trends anticipates those of the construction field,and in 2014 it began to grow again.”

Ecomondo and Key Energy represent the key platform for the Mediterranean basin for the circular economy, where the key players are the companies of all industries that in their manufacturing cycles use material from urban “mines” (recycled waste, even chains other than packaging, or industrial scrap and agricultural off-cuts) and use energy from renewable sources and processes to improve efficiency.
