526 Exhibitors and Operators from 23 Countries. Focus on the Construction Site of the Future

All the top names in the sector attending the trade fair. The supply chain in Italy is worth €4 billion and employs 85,000 people, with exports covering 70% of production. 26,000 construction machinery units were sold in Italy in 2025.

Verona, 6-9 May 2026. SaMoTer takes centre stage.

The 32nd triennial international construction machinery exhibition returns to the Verona Exhibition Centre 6-9 May 2026 (www.samoter.it). The only trade fair in Italy specifically for the entire range of construction equipment ready to open with 526 exhibitors (124 international from 22 countries) and operators and buyers expected from 23 countries.

A total of 52,000 square metres of exhibition space to visit – of which 43,000 square metres in the 6 show halls (halls 6, 7, 9, 10, 11 and 12) and 9,000 square metres for the 3 outdoor areas hosting display and demo areas for dynamic tests (areas C, E and F). In addition, an area of 8,000 square metres will welcome Special Shows – the Digital Construction Site, SaMoTer Arena, SaMoTer Forum, and the International Meeting Point.
SaMoTer 2026 – organized by Veronafiere in partnership with Unacea and CECE – thereby confirms its status as a strategic hub for the entire supply chain: from earthmoving to hoisting/lifting, demolition and drilling, not to mention crushing and quarry/construction site vehicles, as well as concrete, the road-building sector, without overlooking equipment, engine components, spare parts, logistics, services and ICT solutions.

Confirmation of attendance by highly specialized technical professionals, operators, distributors, dealers, rental companies, and buyers in the construction, earthmoving, and infrastructure sectors has increased compared to the previous edition.

„SaMoTer 2026 comes forward yet again as a system platform for networking, products, innovation, skills and international relationships accompanying the construction supply chain towards increasingly modern and competitive production models,” said Federico Bricolo, President of Veronafiere. “The Show also has strategic value as a venue for institutional discussion between companies, trade
associations, and policy-makers over key issues for the sector, such as regulations, sustainability, and digitalization. This year, we are also focusing on preventing hydrogeological risks, an area where construction machinery is a vital tool in terms of responding to a key challenge for Italy”.

Construction sites of the future will take shape in Verona

This four-day event in Verona becomes the hub for a sector that significantly impacts employment, innovation, and infrastructure development. The exhibition will not be a tool for promoting products but also emerge as an economic and industrial observatory capable of interpreting market dynamics and guiding the strategic choices of the entire supply chain. The heart of the 2026 edition is innovation applied to construction sites.
Digital transformation and the ecological transition are redefining production models, processes, and skills. Inasmuch, the focus is on Industry 4.0, automation, artificial intelligence, connectivity, and data management, as well as the sustainability of machinery, lower emissions, and new road infrastructure solutions. Key topics also included safety, training, and rental, as well as strategic levers for business competitiveness – all discussed with key stakeholders to share the latest trends in the construction sector with all operators.

Keep-on Building: building the future together

The “Keep-on Building” slogan chosen for the SaMoTer 2026 communication campaign conveys a clear message: “Let’s keep building big”. In times of constant change and rapid technological transformation, the construction sector more than ever needs effective points of reference, physical venues where professionals, companies, institutions and stakeholders can come together, discuss matters, train and grasp new opportunities. SaMoTer 2026 is all this and much more: a strategic platform for business and networking designed to support company growth and the development of the market; it is a preferential observatory on innovation revealing the technologies currently revolutionising the sector; it is a venue for education and inspiration, thanks to the SaMoTer Academy, conferences and technical workshops specifically focused on developing effective and marketable skills; it is an international showcase for players keen to grow, export and expand their networks. For everyone looking into the future, SaMoTer is the not to be missed event.
