From November 8 to November 11, 2022, the 15th Moscow International Exhibition of Tools, Equipment and Technologies MITEX took place at the Expocentre Fairgrounds. More than 280 companies from Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Turkey and India presented modern instrumental solutions. For the first time, 80 Chinese tool manufacturers presented their equipment on the Russian market.
The anniversary exhibition was held in an updated format and brought together manufacturers and suppliers of equipment, representatives of industrial and service companies, consumers of hobby class tools. Products and solutions are presented in more than 27 thematic sections. The visitors got acquainted with the technological innovations for industrial and domestic purposes in the field of processing various types of materials, welding, repair and maintenance of cars, special equipment and industrial equipment, garden equipment, instrumentation, etc.
In search of an answer to the main question of 2022 - what to work in the new season? – the exhibition was visited by over 13,000 industry specialists. There were distinguished guests among the visitors. Well-known sports and public figure Nikolai Valuev and traveler Fedor Konyukhov spoke at the stands of participating companies: they shared life hacks in working with new products and proven tools, as well as plans and their views on instrumental trends.
The business program brought together the most relevant topics at the moment - from import substitution, logistics and increasing the prestige of working professions to working on marketplaces and new products in the market of garden tools and construction and repair services. The business part of the exhibition was opened by a plenary session dedicated to the main changes and prospects for the development of the market in the new realities. The discussion was attended by Khairula Dzhamaldinov, Head of the Machine Tool Industry Development Department of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, Mikhail Vasiliev, President of the Association of Trade Companies and Manufacturers of Power Tools and Small Mechanization Equipment (RATPE), Viktor Kislitsyn, Deputy General Director of the Fiolent Plant, and other representatives of the industry. 50 experts spoke in the business program of the exhibition. MITEX is held annually with the support of the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade. The Ministry highly appreciated the business program, the level of organization and the contribution of the anniversary exhibition to the development of the industry as a whole.
At the traditional forum “Russian market of power tools and small-scale mechanization. Status and Prospects”, which was held under the auspices of RATPE, presented fresh data on the state of the domestic market for power tools. The business program of the exhibition was organically supplemented by an interactive part - more than 30 master classes and events on working with the instrument.
Every year, the organizers of the exhibition offer new formats to increase the effect of participation and visiting the exhibition for both exhibitors and visitors. The most complete immersion in information about the current situation in the industry was provided by the instrumental excursion "Who is who in the tool market" for representatives of the leading industry media. A pre-planned excursion route covered the expositions of the most prominent participants in the main sections of the exhibition. During the event, journalists from more than 20 publications got acquainted with the novelties in such thematic categories as "Power tools", "Tools and equipment for car service", "Landscape garden tools, machinery and equipment", "Tools for woodworking", "Control and measuring and test instruments”, “Welding equipment and consumables”.
“The MITEX 2022 exhibition is an anniversary and significant for the market. We tried to make it as useful as possible for all industry participants - manufacturers, suppliers and consumers of both professional tools for different industry segments and hobby class. The updated format of the exhibition allowed businesses to solve their problems, but first of all, it made it possible to establish dialogue and inter-industry relations. We do not stop there and start working on the next exhibition. The most popular formats, current trends and market demands, an individual approach to each participant - this is what will invariably serve as the basis of our instrumental event in 2023,” commented MITEX Director Gulnara Markelova.
The general sponsor of MITEX 2022 was the CAIMAN brand, one of the world's leading manufacturers of premium-class professional landscape gardening equipment.
