Exhibitor applications for the twenty-fourth LAMIERA edition are open, with more than 500 working machines planned for fieramilano Rho
Exhibitor applications for LAMIERA 2027 are open, and organisers say early interest is strong. The twenty-fourth sheet metal forming and cutting show runs from 11 to 14 May 2027 at fieramilano Rho, with more than 500 working machines and six technology themes.
Exhibitor applications for LAMIERA 2027 are open, and the organisers say early interest from companies has been strong, with key industry players already confirmed among the exhibitors.
The twenty-fourth edition of the exhibition runs from Tuesday 11 to Friday 14 May 2027 at the Exhibition Centre of fieramilano Rho in Milan. LAMIERA is promoted by UCIMU Sistemi per Produrre and organised by CEU Centro Esposizioni UCIMU. It is the only trade fair in Italy focused solely on sheet metal forming.
The show covers machines, systems and equipment for processing and cutting sheet metal, tubes, profiles and wire, alongside structural metalwork, presses, dies and moulds, welding, surface treatments and finishing.
Parts, components, accessories, tooling, clamping systems and technical and industrial subcontracting are also in scope, so the exhibition covers much of the supply chain rather than machines alone.
More than 500 working machines are on display, and the organisers describe the event as showing sheet metal technology in its entirety, from machinery to systems and from mechanical change to digitised production.
Six themes set out the machinery programme. FABBRICAFUTURA covers software and connectivity, data management, automation and robotic systems applied to sheet metal processing, while SALDATECH covers welding and joining.
FASTENER INDUSTRY covers screws, bolts, clamping and fastening systems. HEAT AND SURFACE TREATMENTS covers machines, plants, accessories and consumables for pre- and post-production treatment of ferrous and non-ferrous materials.
METROLOGY & TESTING covers measuring machines, systems and quality control for sheet metal processing, while BLECH ITALY SERVICE is given over to technical subcontracting and industrial services for the sector. A Revamping & Retrofitting area returns, showing reconditioned and retrofitted machines that carry new features and serve a market complementary to new equipment.
At the 2025 edition the show recorded more than 24,000 visits of professional operators, including the visitors of the co-located MADE IN STEEL show. That edition covered 40,000 square metres of exhibition space and hosted more than 400 exhibiting companies, 31% of them from outside Italy, representing 23 countries.
The organisers point to the Italian market as a reason for international attendance. UCIMU president Riccardo Rosa said domestic consumption of these technologies reached 1.6 billion euro in 2025, making Italy the third largest world market for them.
Rosa also pointed to the hyper-depreciation incentive introduced by the Italian government and running until September 2028, which supports investment in new production technology and benefits the companies that exhibit at the show.
LAMIALAMIERA, the event area of the show, returns with a programme of meetings on sector issues, alongside an incoming programme for international operators organised with the ICE Italian Trade Agency and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, plus the education initiatives that have run in previous editions.
A new feature this year is the LAMIERA FUTURETECH AWARD, open only to exhibitors and their products. Submissions are assessed in three areas: innovation in mechanical technology, digitalisation of processes and services, and economic, environmental and social sustainability.
The award takes its cue from the BI-MU show and is intended to give visibility to the most advanced technical solutions on display in Milan.
