Vintech on the ITF Plovdiv'2007

On September 24 the prime minister of the Republic of Bulgaria Sergei Stanishev opened the 63-th edition of the International Technical Fair Plovdiv'2007. It started having representatives of 3661 companies from 49 countries. There were 1336 companies from Bulgaria and 2325 companies from other countries. The greatest number foreign companies were these from Germany, Italy and others. Cooperative participation had also five countries - Belgium, Poland, Romania and Serbia. The event continued to the 29 of September. Country partner to the 63-th International Technical Fair was Germany, during which presiding over the European Union the Republic of Bulgaria became a member of the Union.

For the first time during the International Technical Fair in Plovdiv, Vintech took part in the International Machine Building exhibition - Pavilion No12.

As a tradition during the ITF Vintech introduced the new version of its leading CAD/CAM system - beta version of Vintech RCAM v4 - for true shape nesting of complex variant nesting plans and generation of NC programs.

The greatest interest among the Bulgarian machine builders to the Vintech RCAM v4 products family is due to the fact that the system qualitatively extended its capabilities. Now Vintech RCAM v4 provides creation of technologies and NC programs for oxy-fuel, plasma, laser, water-jet, bevel oxy-fuel and bevel plasma cutting, in combination with various marking methods.

Demonstrations, numerous meetings with professionals in the thermal cutting field, new partnerships with companies that sell or manufacture machines for laser, plasma and gas cutting, outlining new cooperative projects, giving birth to business ideas - that was the daily life at the Vintech's stand.

During the Fair days numerous confirmations of the tendencies observed in 2007 in Bulgaria were given:

• Increase of the relative partition of the part-operations for true shape nesting in mechanical processing, and as a result of this, increase of the number of companies which perform modernization and technological innovations to process sheet materials,
  

• Better investment climate and also - new opportunities for free financing of projects. At the same time it becomes obvious that the opportunities offered for consultative support, concerning true shape nesting and thermal cutting, is not enough,

• Appearance of new competitors among the Bulgarian manufacturers of heat cutting machines,
• Common belief in the progress of the Bulgarian machine building and metal processing - a national branch with traditions.

Vintech's participation at the ITF Plovdiv'2007 set the next challenge and goals in accomplishing the upcoming stage of VINTECH's mission - "Developing solutions based on knowledge".
