SCHRAUBTEC

Direct access to Italy’s key industrial markets

With Bologna, SchraubTec reaches one of Europe’s strongest industrial and manufacturing regions. Together with Lombardy and Veneto, Emilia-Romagna forms the industrial heart of Italy and brings together numerous sectors where fastened joints are critical to safety, quality and production.

At SchraubTec Bologna, exhibitors can connect directly with end users, decision-makers and technical specialists from the very industries where modern fastening technology plays a key role in product quality, process reliability and efficiency.

Motor Valley: Advanced fastening technology for the mobility of tomorrow

The Bologna region and Emilia-Romagna are among Europe’s leading automotive clusters. Home to the internationally renowned “Motor Valley”, the area brings together vehicle manufacturers, high-performance brands, development centers, motorsport technology companies and an exceptionally strong supplier industry. Leading companies in the automotive, motorcycle and commercial vehicle industries develop and manufacture demanding products here, with the highest standards for quality, traceability and process reliability.

“In Emilia-Romagna’s Motor Valley, our exhibitors can connect with almost 3,000 direct automotive suppliers and one of Europe’s densest networks of vehicle, powertrain, production and mobility technology companies.

Whether it’s safety-critical chassis and structural joints, powertrain and transmission assembly, engine and component manufacturing, automated tightening processes or documented fastening operations with full traceability, the new SchraubTec venue offers suppliers of fasteners, fastening tools and technology, measurement systems, automation solutions and quality assurance technologies access to a highly attractive market.

Mechanical and plant engineering:  Precision and productivity Emilia-Romagna has an exceptionally high concentration of mid-sized and internationally leading machinery manufacturers, particularly in automation, packaging machinery, materials handling, production equipment, food processing and special-purpose machinery. The region is now considered one of Europe’s strongest mechanical engineering clusters.

Northern Italy is one of Europe’s leading locations for mechanical engineering, special-purpose machinery and plant engineering. The region is particularly well known for packaging machinery, production equipment, automation technology and industrial robotics.

The focus is on fastening solutions for highly dynamic machine structures, automated assembly processes, machine frames and steel structures, as well as maintenance and service. End users are looking for solutions that improve productivity, process stability and equipment availability.

 Mobile machinery, agricultural equipment and commercial vehicles Emilia-Romagna and neighboring Northern Italy have a strong industrial base in agricultural machinery, construction equipment, lifting technology, cranes and mobile work machinery.

These sectors have traditionally been among the most important users of high-quality fastening technology. Typical fastening applications include highly loaded structural joints, chassis and axle systems, hydraulic and powertrain components, cab and safety components, large bolted joints with defined preload forces, and service and maintenance applications.

Energy, process engineering and industrial plant Italy’s process industries are continuously investing in plant modernization. At the same time, demand is growing in wind energy, hydropower and industrial power generation.

Exhibitors and suppliers in torque technology, hydraulic tensioning systems and fastening services will find attractive target audiences here, with needs ranging from flange fastening and controlled tightening methods to documented assembly processes, leak tightness and plant safety, maintenance and overhauls, and corrosion-resistant fastening solutions.

 Aerospace and rail Northern Italy is home to major aerospace and rail vehicle development and production sites.

Demand for innovative fastening and assembly technologies in these sectors continues to grow. Key requirements include quality-assured assembly methods, complete process documentation, and standards-compliant testing and calibration technology.

 Quality over quantity The compact, cost-effective SchraubTec event format creates opportunities for in-depth discussions focused on real projects and highly relevant technical topics.

Bologna: The ideal location for SchraubTec in Italy

With its central location, excellent accessibility and exceptional concentration of industry, the Bologna region is an ideal setting for a successful trade event dedicated to industrial fastening technology.

 “The Exhibition Hall” at the Bologna Congress Center is an ideal venue for SchraubTec Bologna. This modern, multipurpose event hall is directly connected to the congress center and was designed specifically for trade shows and business events. The Bologna Congress Center is close to the BolognaFiere exhibition grounds, just minutes from Bologna Centrale railway station and Bologna International Airport. Its central location in the heart of Northern Italy makes the venue easy to reach by car via the A1 and A14 motorways, as well as by train and plane. Exhibitors and visitors therefore benefit from short travel times from Italy’s major industrial centers.
