What to expect

LAMIERA is the international exhibition of sheet metal forming, cutting and processing machines, automation and technologies related to the sector. LAMIERA – the Italian word for sheet metal – is the only trade fair in Italy dedicated exclusively to sheet metal processing and represents a key reference point for the global sheet metal forming industry. Promoted by UCIMU-SISTEMI PER PRODURRE, the Italian machine tools, robots and automation systems manufacturers’ association, and organised by CEU – CENTRO ESPOSIZIONI UCIMU, the event combines deep industry expertise with strong international connections and decades of exhibition experience.

Visitors can expect a highly professional, technology-driven environment focused exclusively on sheet metal working. The exhibition showcases more than 500 machines in operation, offering a live demonstration of cutting, forming, and processing technologies under real production conditions. More than 400 exhibiting companies occupy 40,000 square metres of total exhibition area, presenting stand-alone machines and complex industrial plants for sheet metal forming and processing. The event is strictly reserved for professional visitors, ensuring high-quality B2B interaction between manufacturers, distributors, buyers, and technical decision-makers.

LAMIERA is recognised for its unique format that integrates exhibition dimension with thematic cultural insight. Beside the wide product offerings on display, the fair hosts a programme of meetings, technical forums, and innovation arenas that discuss market trends, technological evolution, and industrial policy. Italy is second in the world for production and exports of sheet metal forming machines, and LAMIERA serves as the national showcase for this excellence, attracting visitors from automotive, aerospace, white goods, metal construction, and general engineering sectors.
