In 2007, the Italian Trade Commission (ITA), UCIMU-SISTEMI PER PRODURRE, the Italian Machine Tools, Robots, Automation Systems and Ancillary Products (NC, Tools, Components, Accessories) Manufacturers' Association and AMAFOND, the Italian Foundry Suppliers’ Association signed an agreement with the Mexican Federal Government, the Government of the State of Hidalgo and several Mexican engineering faculties to supply machinery and equipment to the newly inaugurated Italian-Mexican Innovation Center in Hidalgo AC for High Technology Manufacturing or CIIMMATH.

The ambitious project’s goal was to create a platform for a broad collaboration between Italian and Mexican public institutions, private companies and Mexican universities to provide technical training, develop advanced R&D projects and offer support to the local manufacturing industry. Today CIIMMATH is located in a modern facility of 5.000 square meters in the Ciudad Sahagun Industrial Park, in Tepeapulco, equipped with high-tech machinery, office and laboratory spaces.

In order to celebrate CIIMMATH’s 10th anniversary, ITA, the Hidalgo state government and the various Italian and Mexican partners are planning a series of events, including seminars, conferences and networking gatherings.
