The exhibition area has covered 27 halls with five thousand exhibitors.

Fair promotion is an expensive investment, so the best solution for the companies with a limited budget was jointly staged exhibition.
Within the project “Increasing competitiveness of SMEs and enhancement of cross-border links in the metal industry – EUMETAL 2, a two-day training for managers and employees in metal sector companies in cross-border area was organized on 26th and 27th December 2013.
EUMETAL2 project team members held third joint meeting in “Park” hotel in Rogatica on 9th December 2013, with the aim to agree on details of the future implementation activities, which are planned within the project.
Trained personnel and skilled workers are one of the most important factors that can improve development and increase productivity in the metal industry and therefore companies should invest in human resource development because it is the only way to be present and survive in the international market . Number of skilled labor in the metal industry is continually decreases which is confirmed by the current state of the labor market that faces a lack of skilled workers needed in enterprises ( CNC operators, CAD / CAM programmers, welders, locksmiths).
