Rimini reveals expansion update

The Hall expansion programme at the Rimini Trade Show Centre is proceeding on schedule. After the first step, which finished in time to use the extra space at SIGEP last January, the second step will be completed in July, with one part of the buildings actually delivered earlier than expected and ready for use from the first week of June. Work on the third and last phase of the construction will begin immediately and the extended halls will be completed and open for SIGEP 2018. At the end of July, the trade centre’s total exhibition surface area will have gone from an initial 113,000sqm to 123,000. And, at the end of the third and final part of the work, the Rimini Trade Show Centre, managed by Italian Exhibition Group, the company generated by a merger between Rimini Fiera and Fiera di Vicenza, will cover a surface area of 129,000sqm, the dimension with which it will be hosting SIGEP 2018 from 20th to 24th January, and all subsequent shows. The construction work, which began in June 2016, concerns twelve connecting halls and involves an investment of Euro 21.5 million. “At the end of the work,” commented IEG president, Lorenzo Cagnoni, “the Rimini Trade Show Centre will guarantee further usage opportunities, maintaining connections between service and exhibition areas in respect of the highest world standards.”
