The name of the Open House is INNOVA, chosen to emphasize the company’s unwavering commitment to technological innovation.
This year’s theme is:
TURN ON THE LIGHT → Dark Factory, Human Vision.
A factory that runs on its own.
Connected systems.
Robots working non-stop.
Continuous production, with the lights off.
That’s the idea behind the Dark Factory.
But darkness doesn’t mean absence, it means efficiency, automation, control.
Because behind every system, there’s a choice; behind every process, stands human intelligence.
TURN ON THE LIGHT is not just a call, it’s a way of seeing industry: technology at its peak, with a clear human vision. The vision of those who design, improve, decide.
In a world moving toward full automation, BLM GROUP believe light still matters.
The visit will cover an exhibition area of over 10,000 square meters, divided into four main Tech Hubs, where attendees will have the opportunity to get hands-on with the latest innovations across the Group’s technologies — including Lasertube, sheet laser, 3D laser cutting cells, tube benders, wire benders, sawing machines, and tube end-forming machines — as well as all the software solutions in the BLMelements suite.
At INNOVA, attendees will also discover dedicated areas for research and development, and explore the wide range of services offered by the Group.
Among the many products on display, guests will also have the opportunity to interact with industry experts, who will guide them through the exhibition spaces and assist them with the “leitmotif” of this Open House: from the vision of new goals, through the knowledge of new technological tools, to identifying the most suitable solution for their needs.
