The company traces its origins to 1948 with the founding of the Rimini exhibition center, achieved its current corporate structure following the 2016 merger of Rimini Fiera and Fiera di Vicenza, and is headquartered in Rimini, Italy. Italian Exhibition Group maintains domestic exhibition hubs in Rimini, Vicenza, Milan, and Arezzo, alongside international operating subsidiaries and joint ventures across the United States, the United Arab Emirates, Brazil, Mexico, China, and Singapore.
In recent developments, Italian Exhibition Group has executed significant strategic expansions and operational transformations under its multi-year business plan. The company expanded its presence in Southeast Asia through its subsidiary IEG Asia Pte. Ltd., acquiring trade fair assets including the Singapore International Jewelry Expo (SIJE) and food and beverage events such as Café Asia, Restaurant Asia, and Sweet & Bakes Asia. In the Middle East, the company strengthened its joint venture operations with the Dubai World Trade Centre to scale global editions of JGT Dubai, Dubai Muscle Show, and Dubai Active. Within its domestic operations, the group launched major infrastructure development initiatives, including the construction of new temporary and permanent pavilions at the Rimini Exhibition Centre and the comprehensive redevelopment of Pavilion 2 at the Vicenza Exhibition Centre. Furthermore, the company spun off its energy transition showcase, KEY, into an autonomous international expo separate from Ecomondo, rolled out overseas brand extensions including SIGEP Asia and SIGEP China, and concluded strategic partnerships with international trade fair organizers, including Koelnmesse, to expand its food, hospitality, and environmental technology exhibition portfolios globally.
