Furthermore, AMEC AEFEMAC is recognised by ICEX (the Spanish Institute for Foreign Trade) to design and carry out the export promotion plan for the whole machinery, equipment and services sector for the food industry.

We take part in the main international fairs in the sector, including the following:
 
BTA-TECNOCARNICA (Spain), IFFA (Germany), IPA-EMBALLAGE (France), ANUGA FOOD TEC (Germany), AMI (USA), PROPAK CHINA (China), PROPAK THAILAND (Thailand) and TECNOFIDTA (Argentina), among others.

We are members of the Organising Committee of the BTA-TECNOALIMENTARIA Fair and have a collaboration agreement with it on the one hand to design and carry out the international promotion plan and on the other to ensure that participating associate companies receive considerable benefits.

Aware of the importance of research, innovation and technological development, AMEC AEFEMAC works very closely with various universities and technological centres such as IRTA (the Institute for Food and Agricultural Research and Technology).

Together with IRTA and the EUROCARNE journal we co-organise the NATIONAL MEAT CONGRESS (CONGRESO NACIONAL DE LA CARNE), a must in the meat sector calendar where the latest scientific, technological and commercial advances led by the best experts in the sector are announced.

We hold the secretaryship of the AENOR Standardisation Technical Committee for CTN/GET7 meat industry machinery.

The main national and international journals in which we appear and with which we work are as follows: EUROCARNE, Cárnicas 2000 and Meat International.
