Arcusin had the pleasure to attend this February the 43rd edition of FIMA in Zaragoza, the most important fair of the agricultural field in Spain. After being not present at the 2022 edition due to the insecurities and restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we were excited to return this year and meet again with our colleagues, customers and friends from the agricultural industry.
FIMA 2024 certainly presented itself with a special atmosphere, marked by a number of exceptional circumstances such as strikes in the agricultural sector, the notable absence of some tractor manufacturers and the celebration of the show’s 60th anniversary.
The event started off at a quiet beginning, but soon quickly increased in intensity with the arrival of national and international visitors. Although the absence of our southern friends from Andalusia, Extremadura and the Castillas was evident, the energy never failed!
Our stand not only welcomed visitors and customers, but also influencers from the agricultural world, especially Pilar, Guillem and Alejandro, with whom we had the pleasure of having a great relationship since we first met at Demoagro. Conversations were lively, ideas flowed and the passion for agriculture was palpable in the air.
The interview about the AutoPick nut and olive harvester with Pilar was a particularly interesting moment. Since Pilar has direct experience with the product, having used our GTi model this year to harvest her pistachios, we took the opportunity to organise a networking round of questions. It was a casual but significant opportunity for followers to clarify their doubts and get immersed in the benefits and characteristics of our technology.
During the event, and without expecting it, we received the award for best stand design, a recognition that we appreciate as an endorsement of the effort and creativity we put into our booth.
As always, we took the opportunity to exhibit all our products; the AutoStack bale stacker, our Multipack bale bundler and Forstack bales accumulator, among others. This complete exhibition allows us to present our latest innovations in agricultural technology and reinforce our strong involvement in the sector’s development.
In addition, our participation at FIMA 2024 was more than just a simple product showcase; it was a trip of discovery, exchange and connection with the agricultural community. And we are excited to continue to cultivate these relationships as we move forward into a brighter and more promising future together.
FIMA 2020
Many months, and sometimes up to a year beforehand, the comments were: see you at FIMA… we’ll discuss it at FIMA… hopefully at FIMA… then the show arrived. In all its glory, with its exhibition halls brimming over with brand-new machinery, FIMA 2020 said good morning to us on Tuesday, 25 February.
At ARCUSIN, we brought a bigger stand, taking up both sides of the side-aisle of hall 6 and displaying all our equipment: AutoStack FSX and XP, MultiPack D14, ForStack, LinePack, AutoPick MT and GTI and the HUSTLER Feeder.
In keeping with tradition, AutoStack was the most applauded, supported this year by the new FAST TRACTION PICK-UP bale collection system, a machine that was sure to lift the FIMA 2020 prize for technical innovation at the Zaragoza convention centre. First prize was a figurine, rewarding the work of the engineers, technicians and all the staff at ARCUSIN.
FAST TRACTION is a new and improved bale collection system tested on the heaviest fodder and alfalfa bales, with excellent product collection. It avoids dragging the bales by raising them up. It fully respects the integrity of the product (especially in grouped bundles and alfalfa) and allows the pick-up to work more rapidly and higher up.
Also very well received was the new MultiPack D14 small-bale packing machine with the pick-up located to the right of the direction of travel. A landmark product that has been largely achieved due to the work of this year’s FIMA prize-winners, and to our best advice-givers, our customers!
Now, to bring this FIMA 2020 review to a close, I would like to mention the large number of visitors and huge amount of general interest in this sector which, in spite of its difficulties, continues to grow and advance. This is precisely why this trade show is an excellent meeting point for the world of agriculture and undoubtedly the most important in southern Europe.
Fima Fair 2018
The event with most impact on the Spanish agricultural sector has ended: Fima 2018. All the main manufacturers of agricultural machinery meet every two years to bring color to this great show. Exhibitors fight to show the best advances in technology applied farming equipment, with a common goal: reduce costs and gain comfort.
Among all manufacturers, Arcusin with a long family tradition surprises once again, giving meaning to the phrase “A heart that beats all over the World“.
In this contest Arcusin has surprised with the new design of the bale packer Multipack C14, and the impressive Linepack, multifunction bale bar, which has been presented for the first time at Fima 2018, receiving lots of attention from the visiting public.
