Exa 2010 runs towards a record-breaking goal. An unprecedented Monday. confirms the growth trend of visits, today a qualified public mainly of professionals in the sector and armories.
Monday was inaugurated with the FITAV press conference, directed by the Honorable Luciano Rossi, president of the Federation, who announced the establishment of the University Sports Studies Center based in Brescia, congratulating our city which has always supported Olympic disciplines practiced with the use of sports weapons.
At 15.00 pm the exhibiting companies were the protagonists of the ceremony for the delivery of a souvenir gift made by the Armed Test Bench of Gardone Valle Trompia, in collaboration with the Chamber of Commerce and the Brescia Fair, to celebrate its 100 years of activity :
"100 years to remember, for the quality and professionalism of the work - says the President Aldo Rebecchi - I want to thank all the companies present who have always followed us, aware of the fact that 2009 was a difficult but not dramatic year, we recorded a 10% drop in testing which is not of concern, as the 7% increase in weapons tested in the first three months of this year bodes well for the rest of 2010, an increase recorded in particular for guns.
Does the Bank want to distance itself from the perception of an inconvenient or pedantic entity because it is interpreted as a mandatory step by law - continues Rebecchi? the Bank's objective is to be recognized as an entity synonymous with quality and safety, characteristics that can consequently be attributed to the products tested. We are the number one in the world, last year we tested over 700.000 weapons ”. The ceremony then ended with the delivery of the trophies, among the other winners we mention: Armi Perazzi, Benelli, Armi Chiappa, Consorzio Armaioli, Davide Pedersoli, Fratelli Tanfoglio, Fabbrica d'Armi Pietro Beretta, Rizzini, Uberti and Adinolfi, for a total of over 50 exhibitors present at Exa 2010.
In the meantime, the first impressions come from the stands. The first three days of the fair already provide very precise indications regarding the producers' feelings for what will be the near future of the market. The recovery - said Roberto Massarotto, Marketing and Communication Director of Benelli Armi - for the Urbino brand passes through "the democratization of technology, the proposal of high quality products at a reasonable price" in compliance with the particular global economic situation and the competence of buyer, who has grown a lot on a cultural level in recent years. The market - continues Massarotto - is showing the first signs of recovery and it must be attacked with quality products ”.
