Over 1700 exhibitors taking up over 86 thousand square metres, a good foreign component (around 450 exhibitors, 26% of the total) and 12.5% "new entries" (more than two hundred companies entering Macef, and the Italian market, for the first time): with these excellent numbers, Macef, the International Home Show, will open at Fieramilano. The autumn 2010 edition of Macef is larger than the 2009 edition, due to the number of exhibitors and the amount of floor space covered (10.2% more). Macef continues to grow and, in line with the economy’s key indicators, is preparing to resume its traditional role as a driving business force. The event layout is impressive, circling Piazza Italia in Pavilion 9 and the spectacular “Flexible Store” at Pavilion 3.
