The most awaited rescue event of the year in Italy is approaching. Are you ready for the 23rd edition of REAS? How did it become a key event and how did the Emergency Equipment for Rescue and Safety come about? And why did Stem decide to participate, creating their own exhibit stand?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its inventor Maurizio Catania<\/strong> tells us:

\u201cThe first edition of REAS occurred in 1995<\/strong>, then we stopped for 5 years and we were back in 2000<\/strong> with La festa del volontariato<\/strong>\u201d

28 years ago there was the idea to create a space for the specialists in emergency and all the innovations in the industry<\/strong>. At that time Mr. Catania was the president of an important voluntary organization in Brescia<\/a><\/strong> and personally marked a turning point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The origins of REAS: from first edition to today<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After a trip to Spain and a visit to a local event dedicated to emergency, he went back in his hometown willing to create something new. A meeting point for companies, volunteers, and organizations<\/strong> in a dynamic and open to new ideas environment.

Anthough at the beginning it was a simple \u201clocal celebration\u201d<\/strong> says Catania, \u201cit soon became a real national exhibition<\/strong> for emergency<\/strong>\u201d also thanks to several requests from colleague volunteers and companies.
The REAS<\/a> then paved the way for many rescue events in the following years, creating a space for rescue and emergency on the European scene.

The celebration that in 1995 occupied just half a pavilion of the Montichiari Fair Center<\/a> is now an international fair that counts 25,000 visitors<\/strong> (data updated to 2022, a year that saw an increase of +10% compared to the previous edition) and fills 8 entire pavilions<\/strong> (plus the outdoor spaces, the congress halls and all the collateral events).

Certainly, the reputation of the REAS was strengthen by the collaboration with international event<\/strong> such as INTERSCHUTZ<\/a>, also joined by the REAS in 2015.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s like my little girl! I have seen it grow with a thousand difficulties, but always with strong support from volunteers and companies<\/strong>” arriving to Japan by participating to the RISCON <\/a>(Risk Control in Tokyo – Security and Safe Trade EXPO) fair.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Stem and REAS: the exhibit stand from 2005 to date<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Stem has always attended the event supporting the project and understanding the potential right<\/strong> from the start.

But what were the stands like in the early years<\/strong>? How have they changed over time?

Let’s take a leap into the past together and discover our outfittings from 2005 to today<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
