MIAC in Lucca: Where Innovation Meets Tradition in the Paper Industry

Each autumn, the historic city of Lucca in Tuscany opens its doors to one of the most important international events for the paper and tissue paper industries — MIAC (Mostra Internazionale dell'Industria Cartaria). With a tradition spanning decades, MIAC has become much more than just an exhibition; it is a meeting point for innovation, education, and collaboration within the paper sector.

At the heart of MIAC lies a commitment to advancing the future of paper production through technology, knowledge, and international exchange. The event features 250 global exhibitors, cutting-edge equipment displays, and professional training conferences that enrich the technical knowledge of attendees. And all of this takes place in Lucca — a city steeped in the history of papermaking.

An Event Rooted in Excellence

MIAC has carved out a solid reputation over the years for being a highly specialized and technical event. It doesn’t try to cater to a general audience. Instead, it focuses intensely on professionals who are directly involved in the operation, optimization, and innovation of paper mills and tissue converting facilities.

From the moment you enter the exhibition space, it’s clear that MIAC is not about flashy marketing or oversized booths. It’s about substance — technical solutions, performance data, real-world case studies, and meaningful conversations. This atmosphere makes MIAC incredibly valuable for engineers, production managers, plant directors, and decision-makers from across the globe.

What Makes MIAC Special?

One of MIAC’s greatest strengths is its ability to combine technology showcases with continuous learning opportunities. Attendees are not only exposed to new machines and materials but also have access to high-quality technical conferences that offer insights into the industry's latest trends, challenges, and innovations.

Highlights of the MIAC experience include:

Over 250 international exhibitors from across the supply chain

Live demonstrations of state-of-the-art machinery and automation tools

Free entry to international conferences led by industry experts

Simultaneous translation (Italian to English and vice versa) for all sessions

An audience made up of technicians, engineers, R&D professionals, and business leaders

Thanks to this structure, MIAC ensures that visitors gain practical value—they don’t just browse equipment; they learn how to implement new systems, improve efficiency, and stay ahead of the competition.

The Power of Face-to-Face Connection

In an age dominated by digital communication, events like MIAC stand out for the power of in-person networking. The exhibition offers attendees the rare chance to meet global suppliers and partners face to face, creating a fertile ground for long-term business relationships.

Some of the key networking opportunities include:

One-on-one meetings with suppliers and technical specialists

Informal discussions during conference breaks

Product-focused Q&A sessions at exhibitor booths

Collaborative panels between manufacturers and converters

Exchange of best practices between mill operators

What truly sets MIAC apart is its community atmosphere. The event feels less like a commercial fair and more like a technical symposium, where participants are genuinely interested in sharing knowledge and solving real-world production challenges.

Deep-Dive Learning: Free Technical Conferences

Education is at the core of MIAC’s mission. The MIAC International Conferences, held during the exhibition, are designed to equip paper mill and tissue converter technicians with practical knowledge that they can apply immediately in their operations.

Topics typically covered include:

Energy efficiency in paper mills

Sustainable production and waste management

Digitalization and data analytics for process optimization

Trends in tissue converting machinery

Innovations in raw materials and chemical treatment

Safety protocols and regulatory updates

Participation in these conferences is completely free, making them accessible to a broad professional audience. And with simultaneous translation provided, language is never a barrier to learning.

Innovation on Display: What Visitors Can Expect

The MIAC exhibition space is always buzzing with excitement, as visitors navigate through aisles of advanced paper production solutions. Whether you're searching for high-performance equipment, automation systems, or eco-friendly alternatives, MIAC offers a comprehensive look at what’s shaping the future of the industry.

Types of solutions typically exhibited:

Pulp preparation systems

Tissue converting machines

Printing, embossing, and rewinding systems

Industrial automation and robotics

Energy-saving solutions

Water treatment and effluent systems

Quality control and measurement tools

This rich variety makes MIAC one of the few events where end-to-end solutions can be explored under one roof. It’s not unusual for attendees to discover an innovation they hadn’t planned on — one that solves a problem they didn’t even realize they had.

The Strategic Value of Attending MIAC

For companies involved in paper and tissue production, MIAC is more than a learning experience — it’s a strategic investment. The insights gained here can directly affect operational efficiency, product quality, sustainability, and overall competitiveness in the global market.

Attending MIAC can help:

Identify new suppliers or partners

Benchmark performance against industry standards

Train team members on new tools and techniques

Stay updated with regulatory and sustainability trends

Evaluate ROI on new machinery and upgrades

Lucca’s location, in the heart of Italy’s tissue valley, adds to the event’s relevance. With a strong local industry presence, many attendees also schedule mill visits and technical tours in the region, further enriching their experience.

MIAC’s Role in a Changing Industry

As environmental concerns, energy costs, and digital transformation reshape the paper industry, MIAC has managed to evolve with the times. While it retains its traditional strengths in mechanical innovation, it has expanded its scope to include smart manufacturing, AI, green solutions, and circular economy practices.

Visitors are increasingly drawn to sessions and exhibitors that focus on:

Reducing carbon emissions

Enhancing fiber recovery and recycling

Integrating IoT for real-time monitoring

Automating manual processes to reduce waste

Using data analytics to improve production output

MIAC isn't just responding to change — it's driving it, by giving the industry the tools and insights needed to build sustainable and resilient operations.

A Must-Attend for Paper Professionals

In the world of professional exhibitions, MIAC has earned its place as a top-tier event for paper and tissue industry professionals. It offers a rare combination of hands-on equipment demos, serious technical education, and meaningful networking opportunities — all set in a city that understands the soul of papermaking.

Whether you're a plant manager looking for efficiency gains, an engineer exploring new technologies, or a business executive planning your next investment, MIAC offers something you can’t find anywhere else.
