Dear readers,

We are pleased to be back with another edition of the CECIMO newsletter. The last 3 months have been eventful for us, to say the least, as we have been busy with the preparation of EMO Milano 2021, the largest international trade show for the machine tools industry. We also published our new Economic and Statistical Toolbox for the 2nd quarter of 2021, which announces a steady recovery for our sector.

Moreover, there have been significant policy developments in CECIMO’s technical department over recent weeks, as the European Union (EU) has resumed its legislative work on the Revision of the Machinery Directive, a key piece of legislation for our sector. 

Below you can find an overview of our recent activities, news, events and more. We hope you enjoy this newsletter.
