THE CONSTRUCTION EXHIBITION

A comprehensive review of products and solutions for building, modernising and upgrading: software and technologies for design; Building Information Modeling (BIM); chemical products for the building industry; construction systems for structures and infrastructures; anti-seismic solutions; safety and construction site equipment; proposals for improving energy efficiency; thermal insulation and comfort; materials and finishes for interior architecture and finally solutions for integrating buildings and machine installations. The Building Exhibition, located in Halls 2 and 4, presents the excellence of what Italy and international companies have to offer, accompanied by several special areas developed in cooperation with some of the event’s leading partners.

The Agorà Restauro (Restoration Agora), organised by Assorestauro, hosts a collective of companies with products and best practices from a sector strongly committed to the redevelopment of buildings of historical and cultural value. This is a group made up of small and large operators that constitute a model of excellence in Italy and worldwide.

Assobim, the association representing the "technological" Building Information Modeling (BIM) supply chain, will be present at MADE expo with a dedicated area that brings together different organisation active in the sector, from software houses to companies supplying BIM services and from large contractors to engineering companies, also involving manufacturers of materials and components.

ISI - Ingegneria Sismica Italiana will be taking part and presenting Focus Sismica: a strategic presence based on the firm conviction that prevention, safety of the building and infrastructure heritage, design and structural efficiency interventions represent a synergic theme capable of uniting the entire supply chain.

Taking place for the first time at MADE expo, will be the eighth edition of FEL - Festival edilizia leggera (Light Building Festival), the exhibition aimed at operators in the paint, colour and light building sectors which, thanks to a dynamic exhibition format made up of experiential areas, training speeches and workshops actively involves professional visitors.

Federbeton will testify to the commitment and role of the cement and concrete supply chain for a truly more sustainable future of construction. The themes at the heart of the exhibition include contributions to the de-carbonisation of construction and innovative, reliable, sustainable Made in Italy materials that contribute to creating a circular economy.

Federparquet, for the first time at MADE expo, is proposing a specialised area looking at parquet and fine wood surfaces: visitors will be able to appreciate the sustainability and reuse potential of the material and the craftsmanship and uniqueness guaranteed by quality laying.
