Italy’s premier earthmoving, site and construction machinery industry expo, SaMoTer has been postponed to May 16 due to the outbreak of Covid-19 in the country. The event was scheduled to take place from March 21 to 25 in the Italian city of Verona.

The announcement from leading event organiser Veronafiere comes following a board meeting in Italy as more and more cases affected by the coronavirus are getting reported in the country.

The board acknowledged the impossibility of ensuring proper timing for set-up, dismantling and logistics operations for upcoming trade fair events.

In relation to the requirements of the ordinance issued by the Ministry of Health and the Veneto Region concerning Covid-19, it was decided to postpone the events scheduled for March and early April 2020, said a statement from Veronafiere.

As per the new plan, SaMoTer will now be held from May 16 to 20 in conjunction with three other events: Asphaltica, the road infrastructure event, ICCX Southern Europe (precast) and LetExpo, the sustainable logistics trade fair.
