With Record Attendance, International Machinery and Equipment Fair (FEIMEC) 2022 Revives Industry Sales Following Pandemic-Induced Recession

International Machinery and Equipment Fair (FEIMEC) 2022 Had Over 55 Thousand Visitors and More Than 900 Exhibitor Brands from Various Countries

The market for industry-oriented products is starting to show signs of recovery. This was demonstrated by the International Machinery and Equipment Fair (FEIMEC) of 2022, held between May 3 and May 7, which set a double record: attendance and sales volume, compared to previous years. The event had over 55 thousand attendees and 900 exhibitor brands, occupying 64 thousand square meters of the pavilion.

This large fair, held in partnership between Informa Markets and ABIMAQ (Brazilian Machinery and Equipment Association), brought together companies from various countries such as the United States, China, and Germany, among others. It also goes down in history as the largest FEIMEC edition ever, both for the participation of new exhibitors and for sales volume.

FEIMEC 2022 Brings Economic Growth to the National Industry

The results of FEIMEC 2022 surprised even the most optimistic and had a significant impact on machine and equipment sales. After all, the last 3 years without the fair, due to the pandemic, prevented the public from seeing various innovations and improvements in industrial equipment.

As a result, there was an accumulated economic growth of 43% compared to the 3 years prior to 2022, which may lead experts to reassess their predictions that were calculated at 3% for the domestic market and 17% for exports. This indicates a very promising development potential in the industrial sector, with a progressive increase in the volume of sales of machines and equipment.

The success of the event brought many opportunities for exhibitors, and on the penultimate day of the event (05/06), some companies had already achieved over R$ 3 million in sales of machines and equipment for sectors such as boiler making and machining.

Major Companies Like Romi, Hexagon, SEW Eurodrive Brazil, and Cobsen Report That the Event Was a Success

The success of the event did not go unnoticed by the exhibitors, who achieved a large volume of sales. One of the largest companies in the machine and tool industry, Romi, stood out significantly at this year’s event. According to the commercial director, Maurício Lopes, the success was a result of the excellent dynamics between clients and exhibitors, which facilitated negotiations.

Hexagon, a leading brand in autonomous solutions, software, and sensors, also felt the benefits of the event. CEO Danilo Lapastini stated that FEIMEC 2022 brought record sales, with the sale of 16 machines and pieces of equipment during the event and more deals lined up for the future.

SEW Eurodrive Brazil introduced innovations such as the autonomous vehicle for industry and successfully negotiated several opportunities, achieving surprising results post-event, as noted by general director Alexandre Reis. Celso Pavanella, commercial manager of Cobsen, also reiterated the success of FEIMEC 2022, in which they sold four large pieces of equipment, something unprecedented in all their years of participation in the fair. Both professionals highlight the hope for economic growth in the industry in the coming years.

It’s clear that the event was a success. Let’s look at the numbers. A major brand of high-pressure equipment, Flow, managed to sell four machines at this year’s fair, with prices ranging from R$ 700 thousand to R$ 1 million each. Welle Laser didn’t fall behind and closed the sale of a sheet cutting machine, the CS-3000, valued at R$ 3.4 million.

Burtin, another company in the machine and equipment sector, sold over R$ 1 million in equipment at the event. Foreign brands such as the Italian Cutlite Penta also had their share of the pie, closing the sale of laser cutting machines with an 18-meter module. German company Haimer, in turn, closed deals for 3 small machines.

In the welding sector, A H Soldas managed to achieve R$ 1.2 million in sales at FEIMEC 2022. There were also those who offered discounts to expedite purchases. The company Tectronix, which sells cutting machines, made a super promotion in the last two days of the event, making sales even more attractive.
