SACE SIMEST, the export and internationalization hub of CDP Group, is a forerunner to Italian packaging machinery and food processing companies on the occasion of the two major trade shows currently underway in Italy and China: Epack Tech in Shanghai and Cibus Tech in Parma.

During the two important showcase events for these leading sectors of Italian machinary, SACE SIMEST organized a set of targeted initiatives to facilitate the meeting between Italian suppliers and SUMEC, China’s top machinery importer, which operates as an import agent of the Chinese Government. The meetings were organized with the aim of facilitating the assignment of Italian contracts, accompanying the Chinese delegation to the exhibitors of interest, and supporting them in B2B meetings.

The initiative, which relies on the collaboration with the Italian Trade Agency and Fiera Milano, represents a step further step forward following the agreement signed between SACE SIMEST and SUMEC in March, with the aim of reaching the target of 1 billion of new contracts awarded to Italian suppliers over the next three years.
