Today more than ever, a trade show's positioning is crucial to its success. After celebrating its 70th anniversary at the 2024 edition, the organizer Rochexpo has just clarified the positioning of the SIMODEC trade show, thanks to the expert advice of SN Dec, a professional union and long-standing partner. The two organizations have adopted the terminology “bar turning and precision machining” to define the contours of the industry that SN Dec and SIMODEC are committed to supporting and developing. In addition, to help companies navigate the ongoing transformation, Rochexpo is expanding its offering to include specialty and capacity subcontracting.

Furthermore, in order to help companies navigate the ongoing transformation, Rochexpo is expanding its offering to include specialty and capacity subcontracting.

This subcontracting village is open to specialists in design offices and workshops specializing in sharpening, tooling and prototyping, heat and surface treatment, washing, grinding, rolling, tumbling, finishing, lapping, quality control, and assembly. Companies specializing in electroerosion, additive manufacturing, cutting and stamping, fine sheet metal work, and plastic injection molding will also be accepted, often complementing the supply of precision turned and machined parts. A single exhibitor for each of these categories would be enough to create a veritable subcontracting village.

In addition, subcontractors with precision machining capabilities will also be included in this village. It will be built around an inviting square, with accessible, harmonious, and pre-equipped stands.

By accompanying this creation with the Subcontracting Trophy, which promotes quality and local purchasing, Rochexpo is fully assuming the role of economic lever for SMEs at the SIMODEC trade show. Ready to receive applications in this regard, our team wants to take up the industrial challenges of today and tomorrow, with professionals and for professionals.
