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 .
