METAL MATERIA 2025, the trade fair for Subcontracting and Technologies for Metalworking and Metallurgy (October 15th – 16th, 2025, Piacenza Expo), establishes itself as a key industry event thanks not only to its rich exhibition offering but also to a high-quality program of conferences and workshops, supported by prestigious sponsorships. These endorsements reflect the strategic relevance and value of METAL MATERIA for the entire industrial sector.
The event aims to address real market needs and offer practical solutions. The most significant innovation in this first edition is represented by the “PIT STOPS”: workshop sessions lasting no more than 50 minutes each, designed to respect and optimize the time of professional visitors.
Prestigious Sponsorships: A Seal of Quality
The sponsorships of METAL MATERIA 2025 are from prominent institutions and trade associations, confirming the importance of the event for the sector and its alignment with the guidelines and needs of the national manufacturing system.
The associations supporting this first edition include: ASSOFOND, AIFM, CLUST-ER MECH, AINEM, ART-ER, and ANIMA/CICOF.
These institutional endorsements ensure not only the quality of the proposed content but also the relevance of the topics addressed to the priorities of the mechanical and metallurgical industries.
The “PIT STOPS”: High-Impact Updates for Industry Professionals and Purchasing Departments
The core of METAL MATERIA 2025’s educational program lies in the “PIT STOPS”. This innovative format was created to make the visit more productive for:
- Manufacturing industry entrepreneurs
- Project managers
- Purchasing departments of plant manufacturers
- Purchasing departments for machinery and industrial systems
In a fast-paced industry where time is a precious resource, these “PIT STOPS” allow attendees to alternate between visiting exhibitor stands and engaging in short yet intense professional development sessions.
Each 50-minute session offers targeted insights on:
- Digital Transition: the latest developments in Industry 4.0, automation, IoT, big data, and artificial intelligence, applied to metalworking production processes.
- Energy Transition: solutions and strategies for energy efficiency, the use of renewable energy, and reducing the environmental impact of industrial processes.
- Strategic Information Management: real-time data on raw material costs, predictive analysis, and tools to optimize production process management in a volatile market.
- Modern and Quickly Deployable Subcontracting Networks: how to identify and integrate reliable, flexible, and technologically advanced partners for more resilient and competitive supply chains.
This formative offer, integrated with the exhibition itself, makes Metal Materia an essential trade fair tool. It provides a unique, high-value experience that fosters not only business development but also continuous and targeted professional training—vital for navigating and thriving in today’s complex economic landscape.
Participating in METAL MATERIA 2025 is a strategic opportunity to accelerate business innovation in such a rapidly evolving environment.
