Official dates for the upcoming 2025 edition of Vitrum were announced at the yearly general meeting of GIMAV (Italian Association of Machinery and Accessories for Glass Processing), which was held on February 21, 2024 at the headquarters of Forel in Vallio di Roncade, Treviso, Italy. Always a prestigious event for the glass industry, the trade show is scheduled to take place from September 16 to 19 at Fiera Milano-Rho.
During the meeting, associates emphasized the significance of Vitrum as a showcase for cutting-edge technologies advanced by both Italian and international companies. Indeed the 2023 edition witnessed a substantial return of visitors following the post-COVID period – with over 53 percent of qualified attendees from 90 countries worldwide. Notably, 54 percent hailed from European countries, 29 percent from Asia and the remaining 17 percent from the rest of the world.
Fiera Milano, which has always hosted the event, reported a remarkable growth trend in exhibition attendance in 2024. Approaching pre-COVID numbers, that trend has left organizers highly upbeat about expectations for 2025.
