Visitors and exhibitors praised the FinnMETKO renewed layout
The clearer structure and the extensive concentration of earthmoving machinery in the gravel pit at the northern end of the area were well received by both visitors and exhibitors at the FinnMETKO 2024 trade fair.
The three-day major exhibition for professionals in the machinery sectors in Jämsä concluded Saturday on a positive note after busy trading.
The exhibition featured over 340 exhibitors, including nearly all the major manufacturers and importers of earthmoving machinery, forestry machines, chippers, crushers, trucks, and other commercial vehicles. Over the course of the three days, a total of 30,700 visitors attended the exhibition.
One of the key themes of the exhibition was fuel efficiency in machinery and the new solutions developed around it. For example, the NorrDigi excavator, developed in collaboration between Norrhydro and Volvo, was showcased.
This excavator, with its new hydraulic solution, has significantly reduced the fuel consumption of a 30-ton excavator. Additionally, various systems that facilitate the work of operators continued to be a strong trend especially in forestry machines. The latest operator assistance systems were presented at FinnMETKO.
For this exhibition, the layout of the area was slightly modified from previous years. The entrance, which was previously located in the middle of the area, was moved to the very southern end, and the exhibition area was slightly reduced in size at its southern end.
- The new location of the southern gate has made visitor movement within the exhibition clearer and safer. The walking routes of the exhibition visitors and traffic to the parking areas are now clearly separated, says the exhibition director, Tapio Hirvikoski.
The new layout received praise from both visitors and exhibitors. There was also much appreciation for the earthmoving machinery area located at the northern end of the area, on the former gravel extraction site at Kaakkolampi.
- Earthmoving machinery made a striking return to the gravel pit. Visitors were pleased to find many familiar machine brands located in the same area. The forestry demonstrations and forestry machines also attracted large crowds, as did the always popular commercial vehicles.
FinnMETKO 2024 was held in Jämsä from August 29 to 31, 2024. The first FinnMETKO exhibition was organized in 1987, followed by the second in 1988. Since then, this professional exhibition for the machinery industry has been held every two years, and this year marked the 20th exhibition.
The next FinnMETKO 2026, will be held in Jämsä from September 3rd to 5th, 2026.
