The dates for SaMoTer, as an attended show at Veronafiere in Italy, have been set: the international construction equipment trade fair will be held May 3 to 7, 2023. The schedule was agreed with machinery builders and associations in relation to the busy trade fair calendar for this sector, with the aim of capitalizing on the recovery in this field which in 2021 closed with growth of 30 per cent over 2020, with 22,000 construction vehicles sold on the Italian market (source: Unacea).

The 31st edition of SaMoTer will highlight the key role that the construction equipment industry is destined to play as regards environmental sustainability and the development of the economic models outlined by the New Green Deal, a statement said.

A vital turning point to promote the innovations introduced to reduce emissions and promote recycling of the materials used on construction sites. A rational approach to sustainability involving significant efficiency improvements and the consequent reduction of economic and environmental costs, as well as overall improvements in performance.

Sophisticated technologies connect humans with machines (h2m) and machines with other machines (m2m), thereby enabling the progressive automation of construction activities, improvements in efficiency and safe management of the most hazardous tasks. The industry 4.0 revolution is also having an impact on the world of construction equipment and SaMoTer is the preferential observatory for a better understanding of construction sites of the future.

“We have a date at last for the return of SaMoTer after the long pit stop caused by the most acute phase of the pandemic,” said Giovanni Mantovani, CEO of Veronafiere. “The supply chain was significantly impacted by the cancellation lack of one of its landmark professional appointments in Europe. Trade fairs continue to confirm their role as one of the main tools for promoting business. We are now working with our main partners, including Unacea, to design a show in 2023 that will meet the expectations of companies and our stakeholders, while taking into account the highly expansive scenario that will be assigned to the Italian construction sector in coming years with over 107 billion euros in the National Recovery and Resilience Plan.”
