FEIMEC 2028 in São Paulo: where to stay for the industrial fair

FEIMEC is Latin America's largest international machine tool and industrial equipment fair. Its sixth edition runs May 9–13, 2028, at the São Paulo Expo Exhibition & Convention Center, marking a decade of steady growth in the sector. It brings together manufacturers, distributors, engineers and buyers from across the industrial chain to showcase the latest solutions in automation, robotics, cutting tools, hydraulic and pneumatic equipment, and quality control systems. The show is built for professionals from small, mid-sized and large industries looking to catch up on Industry 4.0 trends, build strategic connections and close business deals. The previous edition drew over 70,000 visitors, more than 1,100 exhibiting brands and professionals from over 40 countries, with strong representation from the metallurgical, automotive, electronics and auto parts industries. Beyond the commercial exhibition, FEIMEC offers themed arenas, digital solutions for exhibitors and visitors, and social responsibility initiatives such as a non-perishable food drive in partnership with SAFRATER. The fair is held every two years and alternates with other major dates on Brazil's industrial calendar. If you plan to attend, booking accommodation near São Paulo Expo is key: the Água Funda area and the Rodovia dos Imigrantes corridors hold the most convenient hotel options for arriving without depending on city traffic.
