Within the framework of this celebration, Messe Frankfurt Argentina’s president and CEO, Fernando Gorbarán, stated: “Throughout these 20 years we have been able to sustain and position ourselves as the undisputed leaders in the sector, but far from settling for that, we always seek to improve ourselves to continue growing. Our sector is experiencing an important process of activity reactivation after a pandemic that stopped all kind of events, highlighting that exhibitions have been consolidated as a business center for the productive sectors they represent.
In recent years, the sector has been successfully recovering from the decline it suffered during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the return of presence, Messe Frankfurt Argentina came back with top-level exhibitions jointly with the most important chambers and sectoral entities of the local industry. These events are not only a sample of the potential that different local producers have, but also ideal spaces for continuous training, professionalization and business realization.
Among the exhibitions and events held, the following stand out: Automechanika Buenos Aires, BIEL Light + Building Buenos Aires, Emitex, Simatex, Confemaq, ExpoFerretera, Intersec Buenos Aires, Salón Moto, Tecno Fidta. In addition, it holds numerous conferences and special events for third parties, such as Argentina Oil & Gas Expo Buenos Aires, Argentina Oil & Gas Expo Patagonia, and Arminera.
