Italy plays a leading role in the global landscape of sheet metal forming machine tools and technologies.
With a production value exceeding €3 billion euro, a 6% increase over the previous year, in 2025 the ltalian industry of metal forming machines and technologies consolidated its second-place ranking among world manufacturers. Italy also confirmed its second-place position in terms of exports, valued at €1.8 billion, further widening the gap with its competitors.
This leadership, widely recognized by the market, makes LAMIERA the key appointment for international operators. The exhibition offers the best opportunity to see the industry’s major players up close: the participation of the entire spectrum of Italian manufacturers – from large-scale corporations to SMEs specializing in high-end customized technologies – acts as a powerful catalyst for foreign exhibitors. Consequently, the presence of builders from both traditional markets and rapidly emerging non-EU areas continues to grow significantly with every edition.
Underscoring the vitality of the national system, Italy also ranks as the third-largest market in the world for consumption, with a value of over €1.6 billion and domestic demand expected to grow further throughout the 2027-2029 period.
