Mecânica 2016 ended on Saturday, May 21 with an overall good impression from most of the participants. Given the current political and economic crisis in Brazil, which has gone on for more than a year, many business owners do not know what to expect from the main trade fair in the sector, but the evaluation was excellent.
“The fair is exceeding expectations, far beyond what we imagined. We are very happy,” summarized the CEO of Fagor Automation Brazil, Daniel Carvalho. “We were visited by many active clients, and several of them with projects that were placed on hold had the opportunity to resume activities. I expect good results after Mecânica,” the executive added.
