The Umbria Nautical Cluster will attend jointly with their member companies the next edition of Dutch fair METS– Marine Equiment Trade Show- the largest fair about maritime equipment and services in Europe and one of the most known in the world, taking place in Amsterdam, November 17th -19th. With more than 1300 exhibitors from 40 countries from all over the world, METS is always one of the best occasions for networking and to keep up-to-date with the latest innovations in the nautical field.
Umbria Nautical Cluster is a group of independent Umbrian enterprises with long and deep experience in recreational boating, focusing on materials and luxury furniture: more specifically, the companies are involved in operations related to design, treatment and processing of wood, metals, marble, leather and textiles, electrical and hydraulic installations, furnishing and fittings, and more.
The purpose of the Cluster is to join the companies’ technologies, specific skills and know how to reach together a stronger market position, investing common resources in strategic factors such as internationalization, innovation, training, design and technology.
The Cluster had already attended the previous editions of the show in 2012 and 2013, where they had the occasion to create both institutional and business contacts among the major players in the European –but also other continent’s – market. In particular, during the 2012 edition, the cluster’s companies were successfully involved as suppliers and co-makers in the development of innovative projects, together with international partners.
No less success is expected in the next METS, where the group will exhibit in the Superyacht Pavillion, stands 09.600.
