To the side we find the booth of the historic Italian company of machine tools Comec, which was literally taken by storm by the many visitors and industry professionals.

As far as the brake and clutch department was concerned, the following could be admired:
- TR470 brake lathe
- TD502 on-the-truck disc lathe
- CC300 brake shoe riveting machine
- RTV600 flywheel and clutch grinder
The part reserved for specific machinery for engine repair was, as always, the one that aroused the most interest from visitors and insiders.
Comec presented some of the most technologically advanced models that the market currently has to offer.
Among these were:
- RV516 valve refacer
- GV260 valve guide press machine
