Wiha considers Italy a key market for digitalization and automation
Wiha to participate in Smart Building Expo from November 19 to 21, 2025, recognizing Italy as a strategic market for growth in the fields of digitalization, automation, and electrical applications in the coming years. These are areas in which Wiha has long stood out as a pioneer in developing intelligent and efficient tool solutions for industry professionals.
“A perfect match,” is how Ralf Bohnefeld, Wiha’s Sales Director for Italy, describes the trade show.
“Wiha is currently one of the most sought-after manufacturers of hand tools and innovative solutions in the fields of electrical applications, renewable energy, and digitalization. Smart Building EXPO is therefore an ideal platform for us, as Italy is undergoing a phase of transformation.”
Bohnefeld explains in detail what this transformation entails and why Wiha considers Italy a key market:
“The electrification of vehicles is progressing rapidly, but to support it, an adequate infrastructure must be built. We’re talking not only about charging points, but also about energy generation from various sources such as wind and solar power. At the same time, Italian industry is decisively evolving toward automation and digitalization. Our tools, featuring numerous patented innovations, provide precise solutions for a wide range of applications, always with a strong focus on safety, ergonomics, and quality.”
“You are all invited to visit us at the fair, Hall 6, Stand H30, to discover what modern and effective solutions in hand tools mean today. Special attention will be given to our range of insulated tools for the electrical sector, torque tools for tightening applications, and tools for electronics.”
