“All the activities and initiatives dedicated to the rescue and civil protection sector are very important, especially to deal with the many emergencies that unfortunately occur more and more often in our country“, declared Attilio Fontana, president of the Lombardy Region, on the occasion of the press conference today at Palazzo Pirelli in Milan. “An event like REAS is therefore welcome, which allows us to present all the innovative products in this sector at an international level and also to improve the training of volunteers. The REAS exhibition is therefore to be supported, both for the needs in the emergency sector of Lombardy , but also throughout Italy“.

“We are pleased to record these clearly growing numbers”, underlined Gianantonio Rosa, president of Centro Fiera Montichiari. “Emergency prevention and management activities are essential to the safety of our communities. REAS 2023 confirms itself as the reference fair for companies that develop technologies and services with the aim of improving intervention standards“.

At “REAS 2023” all the latest technological innovations in this sector will be exhibited, such as new products and equipment for first aid operators, special vehicles for emergency and firefighting, electronic systems and drones for interventions in the event of natural disasters and also aids for people with disabilities. At the same time, over the three days of the exhibition there will be an extensive program of conferences, seminars and workshops, which will offer visitors an important opportunity for training and professional development. Among the numerous events, the conference on “Mutual aid between municipalities in emergency” is organized by the National Association of Italian Municipalities (ANCI), the conference entitled “People at the centre: the socio-health aspects in emergencies” promoted by Croce Rossa Italiana, the conference on “The helicopter rescue resource in the Lombardy Emergency Emergency System” promoted by the Regional Emergency Emergency Agency (AREU) of the Lombardy Region and the AIB round table on the latest “Forest firefighting campaign in Italy”.

“REAS 2022 concluded in the best manner possible, applauded by exhibitors and visitors”, declares Gianantonio Rosa, President of Centro Fiera Montichiari. “The fair is the result of enormous group work that rewards the passion of those who work every day in the care of the territory and the safety of our communities. I wish to thank, in particular, the Authorities, the Institutions and the Government Bodies that each year exhibit their activities at REAS, establishing a direct connection with volunteers, operators and citizens”.

REAS is an occasion for meeting and exchange for emergency volunteers and, at the same time, a complete exhibition thanks to a high-level showcase offer. “REAS 2022 has registered a strong increase in exposition space”, explains Ezio Zorzi, Director of Centro Fiera Montichiari. “In particular we have registered considerable growth in fire protection companies with the presence of leading sector players. REAS is, to all intents and purposes, a reference fair, not only for the Italian market but for all of Southern Europe.”

Each edition of REAS is enriched with a programme of conferences, workshops and seminars, along with special events that allow visitors to appreciate close up the intervention protocols and the new technology available to those who work in rescue. This is the case with the “Zamberletti” Trophy promoted by Prociv Italy and dedicated to the memory of Giuseppe Zamberletti, founder of the Civil Protection Department under the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, the “Driver of the year Trophy” and the “Rescue Dog Trophy”. In addition, REAS 2022 saw the debut of the “REAS Photo Contest”, a competition created to tell stories about the spirit of those who work in emergency contexts through photography and where the shot taken by Swen Baldinger, volunteer fire fighter from Bellinzona, in Switzerland during a forest fire protection operation, excelled.

With over 240 exhibitors, from Italy and 19 other countries, REAS confirms itself as an increasingly international exhibition, thanks to the partnership with INTERSCHUTZ Hannover, the most important global event dedicated to the emergency sector.
“This partnership with REAS and with Centro Fiera Montichiari is very important and we are highly impressed by the results and the work carried out to organize this edition of the fair”, declares Bernd Heinold, Senior Project Director INTERSCHUTZ – Deutsche Messe AG. “Apart from the significant visitor figures, the spirit of this fair, the optimism and the emotion that are felt in its halls, are important. Topical issues such as climate change and the emergency in Ukraine need the will to create networks and cooperation on an international level. An event like REAS offers an opportunity to compare and cooperate beyond national borders.”

“Over the last ten years since our partnership started, we have succeeded in positioning REAS at an international level”, highlights Andreas Züge, Managing Director of Hannover Fairs International. “The fair is now also better known abroad and has developed from an event for volunteers to an exhibition open also to professionals and companies. REAS continues to promote cooperation between different countries, also in terms of projects, activities and joint training exercises.”

“REAS offers an excellent opportunity to learn about the Civil Protection system of our Partner Country Italy”, explains Karl-Heinz Banse, President of the German Association of Firefighters (DFV). “Some weeks ago, Italian fire-fighting aircraft contributed significantly to the extinguishing of a forest fire of notable size in Germany. Technological transfer and international synergies are decisive factors for operating in emergency contexts.”

“It is indispensable to work together on a European scale to face current and future challenges”, declares Dirk Aschenbrenner, President of the German Association for the Promotion of Fire Protection (vfdb). “REAS was an excellent opportunity for interaction, dialogue and sharing our specific skills.”

Following a distinguished edition in terms of growing figures, REAS is looking optimistically forward to the 2023 edition, for which preparations will begin already in the coming days. The dates set for the International Emergency Exhibition at Centro Fiera Montichiari are from October 6th to 8th, 2023.

INTERSCHUTZ offered the best of world production dedicated to emergency management, particularly in the fire-fighting sector. The event, therefore, was an opportunity to strengthen the international dimension of REAS, involving new foreign buyers and expanding the exhibition offer.

“The presence at INTERSCHUTZ has served to strengthen the bond with the international companies already present at REAS and above all to establish new contacts”, explains Ezio Zorzi, director of the Montichiari Exhibition Center. “We have found great interest in REAS from numerous European buyers who are already planning their visit to the fair. Also on the exhibition front, the signs are positive. For many international companies, our event is an access point and reference point for the Italian market and the whole of Southern Europe. The edition of REAS next October is growing with the prospect of sold out of the exhibition spaces. “

REAS, INTERSCHUTZ’s partner fair, participated with a stand within the Italian collective and above all was at the center of the “Country Partner Day“, an event entirely dedicated to our country which was held on Wednesday 22 June.

The “Partner Country Day” counted on the participation of the Head of the Civil Protection Department Fabrizio Curcio who was able to illustrate the peculiarities of the Italian emergency management system to the European partners. Amedeo Aristei, central director of the Civil Protection of Friuli Venezia Giulia, studied the specificities of the region’s forest fire prevention system and the methods of intervention of specialized volunteer groups. The all-out confrontation coordinated by Andreas Züge, general manager of Hannover Fairs International GmbH, also saw the participation of Dirk Aschenbrenner, president of the vfdb, Cimolino Hulrik, referent of the vfdb, and Marco Ghimenti, central director for the Emergency, the Technical Rescue and the Fire Brigade of the Fire Brigade.

At the conclusion of the Country Partner Day, REAS and Centro Fiera Montichiari thanked the partners of INTERSCHUTZ and Fiera di Hannover with a plaque commemorating ten years of collaboration in the REAS project.

The awards went to Dirk Aschenbrenner, president of the German fire protection association vfdb, and Karl-Heinz Banse, president of the German fire brigade DFV, associations that number more than 1,300,000 volunteers, as well as Heinz-Peter Brandenberg and Matthias Ludwig, leading exponents of the vfdb, Bernd Heinold, head of INTERSCHUTZ of Deutsche Messe, Andreas Züge, general manager of Hannover Fairs International GmbH, the Italian branch of Deutsche Messe and, collectively, to all the staff of Hannover Fairs International GmbH of Milan which, for ten years, has made an essential contribution to the success and internationalization of REAS.

“It is a sign of recognition for extraordinary people with whom we have built a solid bond of work, collaboration and friendship”, explains Ezio Zorzi, director of Centro Fiera Montichiari. “The partnership with INTERSCHUTZ is essential and these days at the fair have served to increase the international appeal of REAS, pending the edition scheduled from 7 to 9 October 2022“.

The partnership between Centro Fiera di Montichiari and Hannover Fairs International GmbH, born in 2013, has increased the international appeal of the REAS brand, attracting delegations of foreign buyers and exhibiting companies to the event, already a leader in Italy for the emergency sector. The excellent results collected at INTERSCHUTZ are the best encouragement for the edition of REAS scheduled from 7 to 9 October at Centro Fiera Montichiari which promises to be increasingly structured, qualified and high-profile.

The “Country Partner Day” counted on the participation, among others, of the Head of the Civil Protection Department Fabrizio Curcio who was able to illustrate to the European partners the peculiarities of the Italian emergency management system.

L'articolo Italy Partner Day: REAS protagonist at INTERSCHUTZ 2022 proviene da Centro Fiera Montichiari.

From October 8^th to 10^th, the International Emergency Exhibition brought over 23,000 professionals and volunteers together from all over Italy to Montichiari. The exhibition left the emergency generated by the pandemic in its wake and returned to welcome the most important manufacturing and commercial realities in the sector, ready to take advantage of the direct contact with professionals and volunteers in the field.

REAS 2021 thus marks an ideal restarting point for the sector, as highlighted during the inauguration ceremony by the Head of the Italian Civil Protection Department Fabrizio Curcio, who thanked the entire world of volunteers and emergency professionals that permitted the country to cope with the difficulties over the last year. The Civil Protection Department was present at REAS with an institutional stand where it illustrated its activities on the territory, through an installation consisting of a special self-propelled plate that simulated seismic events, created in partnership with Fondazione Eucentre, the European Centre for Training and Research in Seismic Engineering in Pavia. During the days of the exhibition visitors were able to experience a seismic event, gaining greater awareness in relation to earthquake risk and the need to adopt best practices to reduce their impact.

REAS reaffirmed the same exhibition space as the 2019 edition with an exhibitor audience that represented the key sectors in which the emergency system is articulated at its best: first aid, civil protection and fire protection. “There is an enormous desire to begin again and an extraordinary public attendance” explained Tommaso Croce, Manager of the IVECO Special Transport plant in Brescia. “Returning today to a tradeshow – the most important in Italy, among the first to open in Europe – is above all for us a cause for joy, which gives some breathing space and happiness to us. It is also really important because here we gather all feedback from the market”. The exhibition has thus confirmed its role as a unique occasion to do business, and, after waiting for two years, the 2021 edition seems to have gone beyond initial expectations. “We are very happy to have participated in REAS”, declared Giulia Gandolfi, Marketing Manager for BAI Brescia Antincendi International. “Over the last two years the digital world has helped to maintain relationships with customers and stakeholders, but the chance to touch vehicles and components is a plus only tradeshows can provide”. This opinion is also shared by Mauro Massai, Managing Director of the company Mariani Fratelli: “There is a desire to re-emerge and great interest in new products is circulating”, he declared at the end of the tradeshow. “Attendance was truly remarkable, and our verdict is extremely positive.” Marco Leonardi, Commercial Manager of the Focaccia Group also drew up a satisfactory balance sheet. “We are very satisfied with this year’s tradeshow”, he explained on Sunday morning. “Turnout was excellent and exceeded expectations. There is the desire to meet and great interest in vehicles and all that the tradeshow offers”.

REAS 2021 thus preserves direct contact with exhibiting companies and shows it provides concrete responses to their needs. This is an important result that rewards a tradeshow format that, over twenty years of history has been able to win the confidence of companies, institutions and associations linked to the emergency sector.

“REAS is the result of enormous teamwork”, declared Gianantonio Rosa, President of Centro Fiera Montichiari. “Our exhibition has been able to react in the face of adversity, sending out a strong message of hope and faith. The tradeshow system can make an essential contribution to recovery, giving value to ideas, and the ability to work and desire to innovate to companies. Our thanks go to the volunteers, professionals and to all the companies that work each day to guarantee our safety”.

“REAS concludes with a very encouraging result”, declared Ezio Zorzi, Manager of Centro Fiera. “2021 edition numbers show that the emergency sector believes in the added value of tradeshows and wishes to return to believing in the future. The know-how of our companies is of inestimable value and is the foundation from which we must start again”.

“After almost two years of prevalently online interaction the wish to hold events in presence has returned”, explained Andreas Züge, Managing Director of Hannover Fairs International GmbH, the Italian headquarters of Deutsche Messe AG. “Through its 2021 edition REAS has reinforced its leadership position. In the year 2022 Italy will be once again an INTERSCHUTZ Partner Country. A not-to-be-missed occasion to develop the internationalization of REAS and above all to carry forward exchanges between the Italian emergency system and international key players”.

“International partnership is more important than ever”, confirmed Dirk Aschenbrenner, President of vdfb, the German Fire Protection Association. “At REAS we presented the German First Aid Robotics Centre (DRZ), which deals with research and development of mobile robotic systems for civil safety that were recently used during the flooding catastrophe in Germany. REAS offers an excellent opportunity to preview innovations and newness in products that will be featured next year at INTERSCHUTZ”.

“REAS struck me positively”, declared Karl-Heinz Banse, President of DFV (German Association of Fire-fighters). “We intend to continue with our partnership and confirm our attendance at the 2022 edition that will follow the appointment at INTERSCHUTZ a few months later.”

During the REAS inauguration ceremony, the vfdb President Dirk Aschenbrenner and the DFV President Karl-Heinz Banse welcomed the Head of the Italian Civil Protection Department Fabrizio Curcio to the INTERSCHUTZ stand, officially inviting him to the next edition of the quinquennial world leader tradeshow for the safety sector that will take place in Hannover from June 20th to 25th 2022. REAS and leading Italian companies will be key players during the Italy Partner Country Day that will take place with a series of initiatives specifically dedicated to our country. The synergy between Centro Fiera di Montichiari and Deutsche Messe AG has created a permanent channel of dialogue and cooperation between Italy and Germany and has contributed to growing the international appeal of the REAS brand.

The conference activities also proved to be an asset to the exhibition. The national conference “Drones in emergencies” was greatly appreciated. Organised on Friday by Mediarkè, it explored a topic becoming more and more strategic for Civil Protection that pays increasing attention to the implementation of significant technological developments. On Saturday the conference “Communication in emergency” generated high interest. It was presented by ANPAS and dealt with highly topical issues, thanks also to the speeches given by Fabrizio Curcio Head of the Italian Civil Protection Department and President of ANPAS Fabrizio Pregliasco. As per tradition, the A.I.B. Round Table, supported by the magazine “Italian Civil Protection”, confirmed its high profile and thanks to the presence of representatives from all regions in Italy, permitted assessment of the situation in relation to woodland fire protection in the country both in terms of legislation and operationally, drawing up new strategies after an extremely critical summer.

REAS 2021 concluded thus with the desire to return to planning with confidence for the future. The dates of next year’s edition have already been set for 7^th, 8^th and 9^th October 2022.

“ The restart of the exhibition system is an opportunity not to be missed “, declares Gianantonio Rosa , president of the Centro Fiera. “ The fairs are born in support of the territory, with the aim of supporting the business activity and giving concrete answers to the needs of the public. REAS addresses a key area, that of emergency management. Never before have we been so proud to promote the most important Italian trade fair in the sector. We want to dedicate the 2021 edition of REAS to all the volunteers and operators who, during this difficult year, have done their utmost to ensure the safety of our communities. “

The most important production and commercial companies operating in the first aid, civil protection and fire emergency sectors are present at the fair. REAS 2021 is the mirror of a very dynamic sector which, in our country, includes companies with a great tradition, strongly oriented towards product innovation and able to compete on international markets.

Thanks to the partnership with Hannover Fairs International GmbH and INTERSCHUTZ , the world’s leading specialized trade fair held every five years in Hanover, REAS has opened again more to technology transfer and knowledge exchange with major European partners and players in the sector. Today the fair is an opportunity for all-out confrontation, in a European key, where the protagonists of the Italian emergency management system can increase their technical knowledge and develop an increasingly integrated and effective approach to emergency management.

“ After almost two years of mainly online interactions, the desire to hold an event in person has returned ”, declares Andreas Züge , general manager of Hannover Fairs International GmbH. “ And then in the next year 2022 Italy will again be INTERSCHUTZ Partner Country. An unmissable opportunity to deepen the internationalization of REAS and above all for the exchange between the Italian sector with the world. “

REAS is a fair that has always invested in on-the-job training. Fair events are a valuable opportunity for emergency sector operators and volunteers because they constitute concrete moments of confrontation, in which to learn new skills and measure one’s level of preparation. The 2021 edition hosts a program of conferences, workshops, seminars, exercises and operational demonstrations that will involve organizations and associations involved in emergency management.

Under the aegis of AEFI, the Italian Exhibition and Fair Association, the Italian trade fair system has developed common protocols that allow everyone to leave safely, in full compliance with the provisions on health, to protect visitors, exhibitors and workers. In view of the actual reopening scheduled for mid-June, therefore, the country’s exhibition operators have joined forces to ensure a safe restart.

“For over twenty years, REAS has been alongside volunteers and operators in the emergency sector,” said Gianantonio Rosa, president of the Montichiari Exhibition Center. “Even in this difficult phase, the REAS world has shown a profound closeness to those who are at the forefront of managing the pandemic. The trade fair system can make a concrete contribution to economic recovery, putting its structures and skills at the service of the territory. As Centro Fiera di Montichiari we are working tirelessly on the events of the second half of 2021 and REAS is certainly among the most awaited, as evidenced by the numerous companies that have already confirmed their participation. The added value of REAS is the ability to give voice to the Italian emergency sector and we are confident that the October edition will reward the efforts made by companies in the sector. “

The new challenges of emergency management will be the theme of the October edition of REAS. In twenty years of history, the event has established itself as a point of reference for those who work in the management of the civil protection, first aid and fire emergency. The fair is the best tool to orientate oneself in a sector that, today more than ever, is undergoing profound transformations. Technological evolution, regulatory adjustments and the need to define increasingly accurate standards of intervention are key factors for operators. REAS offers an opportunity for comparison with the best production and commercial realities in the sector, thanks to an audience of operators and volunteers from all over Italy in search of the main innovations that the market offers.

Their enthusiasm pushes us to work with even more conviction at the next edition of REAS which will be held from 8 to 10 October 2021.“
