Cutlite Penta on the road to CUTLIVE26: 2026 trade show recap
Cutlite Penta's 2026 started with a precise, concrete, international pace.
A journey made of strategic events, valuable meetings, and technology in action, with an ever clearer goal: consolidating our presence in the Italian and international markets, bringing the vision of the HIGH-POWER LASER REVOLUTION everywhere. (Article published in late March 2026, before CUTLIVE26: at the bottom you will find the bridge to how it went.)
The 2026 events
After the first events of the year, we can say it with conviction: the market response has been extremely positive. The events we have attended so far proved to be fundamental opportunities to meet companies, professionals, and operators in the sector, generating new qualified connections.
The journey began at SamuExpo 2026, in Pordenone from February 5 to 7: a biennial gathering of key technical shows such as SamuMetal, SamuPlast, SubTech, and the Fabbrica 5.0 area.
Next we were at MECSPE 2026 in Bologna, from March 4 to 6, one of the main events for the manufacturing industry, with over 2,000 exhibitors and 13 thematic halls.
In the same days, from March 2 to 6, we also took part in BIEMH 2026 in Bilbao with Cutlite Penta Ibérica: one of the most relevant international shows for advanced manufacturing and machine tools, attracting over 39,000 professionals from around 65 countries.
At all three events we showed up with large, striking, strongly identity-driven stands, designed to convey immediately what we are: an established company that designs, develops, and builds high-performance fiber laser systems in-house, with a vision made of innovation, reliability, customization, and authentic Made in Italy. The response was excellent.
The market rewards those who offer not just systems, but technologies that truly adapt to production needs.
And as always, the real value of trade shows is the people: customers stopping by to say hello, technical questions in front of the machine, end-of-day toasts.
The systems on display: FHD and XMF
Making our presence even stronger were the systems on display: the FHD 6020 30 kW at SamuExpo, the FHD 8020 30 kW at BIEMH, and the XMF 3015 20 kW both at SamuExpo, with loading and unloading automation, and at MECSPE.
Two very different, perfectly complementary solutions. The FHD is the highest expression of our experience on large formats, with power up to 60 kW and working areas up to 24000×3000 mm: a machine designed to combine power, versatility, and productivity even in the most complex industrial contexts.
The XMF is the compact, high-performing, accessible solution, with power up to 20 kW and a working area up to 6000×2500 mm, designed to bring Made in Italy quality to those looking for a reliable, efficient system that is easy to integrate into daily work.
Together, these two machines tell of our ability to offer tailor-made, advanced, concrete fiber laser solutions for every kind of industry.
The European legs: Finland, Poland, France
The journey does not stop at the Italian border. Last week we were at Konepaja 2026 in Tampere, Finland, from March 17 to 19, in collaboration with Aliko, a historic Finnish company specialized in press brakes, tools, and bending technologies.
We have just wrapped up STOM-TOOL in Kielce, Poland, with Cutlite Penta Sp. z o.o., within Industrial Spring, from March 24 to 27: a show dedicated to metalworking technologies, with a strong focus on live demonstrations.
Right after, from March 30 to April 2, we will be in Paris together with Cutlite Penta France for Global Industrie 2026, one of the most relevant European industrial events.
CUTLIVE26: the event of the year
Every stop is creating the ideal conditions for the most important moment of the year: CUTLIVE26, from May 7 to 9, 2026 at the production facilities in Prato. Three days to show up close the company, the concrete value of Made in Italy and, above all, the demo area, where you can see the highest-performing systems in action, including the first European 60 kW laser system for metal cutting. Participation is by registration: all the information is on the CUTLIVE page.
CUTLIVE26 will not be a simple company visit. It will be a complete experience.
Sales, sales support, marketing, and technicians will be fully available to visitors for insights, demonstrations, and direct discussion. Plus networking moments, dedicated catering, prizes, and talks on topics of common interest for the sector. Three full days designed to meet, meet again, build relationships, and finally see the HIGH-POWER LASER REVOLUTION in action.
If the first months of 2026 have confirmed anything, it is that the market looks for solid partners, reliable technologies, and visions capable of looking ahead. Cutlite Penta will keep bringing all of this to the main trade shows, in Italy and abroad. But there is only one place where this vision can truly be understood: CUTLIVE26.
Update: CUTLIVE26 then took place, from May 7 to 9, just as we had imagined it here. We tell how it went in CUTLIVE26: one month later.
