Special
Metallic Mining Hall in Seville, Spain
November 3- 5, 2015
Southern Spain has a long tradition in mining, and Europe’ s largest copper mine is located approximately 20km from Seville. In the adjoining mining area near Rio Tinto, an old copper mine was reopened a few years ago. Consequently, Seville was predestined to host the Metallic Mining Hall trade show from November 3 rd to 5 th 2015.
The international exhibition has experienced significant growth in recent years and provides a platform for the world’ s leading metal mining companies. The exhibition was accompanied by a comprehensive congress program and an extensive business agenda.
The participation was very successful for DYWIDAG Sistemas Constructivos( DSC). A large number of contacts were established and existing contacts were strengthened during the congress. This year’ s MMH congress was attended by all important companies that are active on the Spanish mining market.
DSC is hoping to further strengthen business relations and to achieve follow-up orders during the review of the contacts collected during the event.
