Steering committee
2016, a year of anniversaries
Remo Costa, Marianna Daschini,
Giampiero Mauri, Pierluigi Paoletti, Umberto Pizzi,
Together with the role of Acimall and Cepra general manager (Cepra is the publisher of Xylon
International), I also took over the job of publishing
director of the magazine, and from time to time
I have to fiddle with the art of writing.
Nevertheless, my contribution to the magazine
is marginal and my activity is mainly focused
on the association and its most important event,
the exhibition Xylexpo: that's the topic of these
few lines, hoping they are interesting to all
users.
Since 1968, the woodworking industry has associated even-number years to the exhibition
in Milan, originally Interbimall, now Xylexpo.
The first event came two years after Acimall’s
foundation on January 29, 1966. So, this year
we are celebrating two major anniversaries:
fifty years of the association and twenty-five
years of the international exhibition it organizes.
A lot has changed between the Sixties and
today, in Italy and around the world.
Through half a century, Acimall and its exhibition
have seen radical changes in a country that
has passed from an economic boom to a postindustrial phase, only to recently rediscover the
values and the importance of manufacturing; a
country that has gone through fourteen legislatures and thirty-eight governments, the protests
of 1968, terrorism, corruption scandals, a second
republic, the immigration wave, the worst economic crisis of the last century.
And also historical turning points like the Berlin
Wall drop and the end of cold war, China’s powerful economic growth and the recent dramatic
events in the Middle East.
Since 1966, with ten presidents and three
general managers, Acimall has been representing an industry that, though small in size,
still accounts for 3.5 percent of the “active side”
of Italy’s trade balance.
However, this industry has changed its structure,
whereby entire production segments have virtually disappeared, causing a concentration at
extremes with two big industrial groups at one
end and a multitude of small, or even microscopic, companies at the opposite end.
Also for the association and its exhibition, both
reflecting an industry in becoming, the way has
often been ridden with difficulties, as we all
know, but today Acimall represents virtually all
Italian woodworking equipment manufacturers,
and all major Italian and international manufacturers are exhibiting at Xylexpo.
So, the circle has closed and Xylexpo 2016 is
going to be a success with all leaders attending
and the Italian market recovering. There will be
plenty of new technology and the event will be
up to its tradition also in terms of organization.
A long seasons is coming to an end. A new
one is opening soon, more similar to the world
and the industry of the 21st century: omnia mutantur, everything changes.
