IBARMIA closes BIEMH 2026 with Innovation Award for the ZMS4_15.08 EXTREME automated machining center

IBARMIA has concluded its participation in BIEMH 2026 - International Machine Tool Biennial, held at the Bilbao Exhibition Centre (BEC), with a very positive balance in both commercial activity and technological recognition.

During the five days of the fair, the joint stand of IBARMIA, MODIG and LICON became a meeting point for industrial manufacturers, machining workshops and professionals from different sectors interested in learning about new production solutions.

Discussions held during the fair have confirmed the growing market interest in technologies that integrate high-performance machining, automation and process stability, with the aim of improving real productivity in the plant.

One of the highlights of IBARMIA's participation in this edition of BIEMH was the awarding of the Prize for Innovation in machine tools, components, accessories and tools.

The automated ZMS4_15.08 EXTREME EXTREME awarded for innovation

The award recognizes the IBARMIA ZMS4_15.08 EXTREME with automated pallet changer, presented and demonstrated in operation during the trade fair.

The jury particularly valued the integration of automation solutions in complementary machine operations, including:

The automated loading and unloading of parts,
Automated tool management,
Optimization of the production flow around the machining center.

This approach reduces non-productive times and improves process stability, helping to increase production efficiency in demanding industrial environments.

A space to talk about production

During BIEMH 2026, the IBARMIA team held numerous meetings with industrial companies from different sectors, such as aeronautics, automotive, mold and die, energy or general machining.

Visitors were able to see the machine working live and talk with the company's technical and commercial team about their production challenges and possible machining and automation solutions.

A joint technological proposal with MODIG and LICON

The joint presence with MODIG and LICON made it possible to showcase a complementary industrial proposal within the machine tool sector.

This collaboration reinforces the ability of the three companies to offer complete machining solutions, combining different technological specialties to meet the needs of demanding industrial sectors.

BIEMH, a key meeting point for industry

BIEMH has once again consolidated its position as one of the main industrial meetings in southern Europe, bringing together manufacturers, technology suppliers and professionals from the sector.

For IBARMIA, this edition has been especially significant both for the recognition obtained with the innovation award and for the quality of the contacts and projects generated during the fair.

After the closing of the fair, the company's team continues working on the follow-up of the conversations initiated during BIEMH, with the aim of transforming many of them into new machining and automation projects for the industry.
