ACIMAC will organize the Italian Pavilion of ceramic machinery manufacturers at Ceramics China, scheduled from 18 to 21 June in Guangzhou.

On December 17th, ACIMAC (the Italian Ceramic Machinery and Equipment Manufacturers’ Association) and Unifair Exhibition Service Co., Ltd., organizer of Ceramics China, officially signed a long-term strategic cooperation agreement. Starting from the next edition, scheduled from June 18 to 21, 2025, at the Canton Fair Complex in Guangzhou, ACIMAC will assume the role of Overseas Official Sponsor of Ceramics China, where it will showcase the most advanced Made in Italy technologies within a prestigious Italian Pavilion.

With a history spanning nearly forty years, Ceramics China is now one of the leading international events dedicated to ceramic equipment, technologies, and materials. Thanks to the participation of top companies in the sector, the fair serves as an ideal platform for technical exchange and business cooperation, bringing together innovations and expertise from ceramic professionals worldwide and contributing to the sustainable progress of the entire ceramic industry.

As a global leader in ceramic technology, Italy is internationally renowned for its cutting-edge technologies and innovative design concepts. The presence of the Italian Pavilion is therefore not only a key element for the Asian ceramic market but also a full recognition of Ceramics China as a leading global event.

In this regard, Mr. Gian Paolo Crasta, General Manager of ACIMAC, stated:

“At a crucial stage of transformation and high-quality development for the global ceramic industry, the participation of the Italian collective at Ceramics China comes at the most opportune time. As the Overseas Official Sponsor, we will fully organize and support the participation of Italian companies in this significant event. The fair will provide a unique opportunity for Italian companies to showcase cutting-edge technologies and outstanding solutions capable of supporting an increasing number of ceramic manufacturers in digital transformation, process optimization, cost reduction, and sustainable development”.

Ms. Han Xiuping, Managing Director of Unifair Exhibition Service Co., Ltd., extended the warmest welcome to the Italian Pavilion. She pointed out:

“Ceramics China has grown and expanded over nearly four decades, becoming the benchmark for ceramic technology advancement and a booster for industry development. It constantly boasts a large number of exhibitors from home and abroad and a vast global buyer community. The participation of the Italian Pavilion will bring more international attention and innovative vitality to Ceramics China, while providing brand new opportunities for the integrated development of the ceramic industries in both China and Italy”.
