From 15 to 18 April 2026 Mesa Italia will attend IDEX Istanbul 2026, one of the most relevant dental exhibitions for Turkey, the Middle East and Central Asia. Mesa is part of the UNIDI collective Italian pavilion (Unione Nazionale Industrie Dentarie Italiane), supported by Italian Trade Agency (ICE) — a curated showcase bringing the best of Italian dental Made in Italy to Turkey.
Mesa Italia: 50 years of dental alloys, presence in over 75 countries
Mesa Italia is a historic Italian manufacturer of dental alloys, based in Travagliato (Brescia) — a province that has long been the heart of Italian metallurgy and precision engineering. Founded in 1975, the company has consolidated its reputation as a technical and quality reference, reaching more than 75 countries worldwide through a network of qualified distributors and partners.
In the last decade Mesa has expanded beyond its alloy core business with a complete implant system, the Mesa IGEA system, entirely designed and manufactured in Italy, with dedicated surgical protocols and an engineered prosthetic connection that maximises clinical predictability and operational simplicity.
One of the broadest dental alloy ranges worldwide
While maintaining a sober communication profile, Mesa Italia is one of the alloy producers with the widest catalogue internationally. The line includes ceramic alloys, skeletal alloys, combined prosthesis alloys, galvanic alloys, and a complete range of CAD/CAM discs in Cobalt-Chrome and Grade 5 ELI Titanium for digital dental laboratories.
This breadth is the result of decades of internal R&D and a direct relationship with Italian and international dental technicians, who have helped refine formulations specific to fixed prosthetics, skeletal prosthetics, combined prosthetics and monospine casting. Further details are available on: Dental Alloys, CAD/CAM Catalogues and Libraries, and Cobalt-Chrome alloy characteristics.
IDEX Istanbul 2026: the fair and UNIDI’s role
IDEX Istanbul is Turkey’s main dental exhibition and one of the primary meeting points for the Turkish, Middle East, Balkan and Central Asian markets. In 2026 it takes place at the Istanbul Expo Center, from 15 to 18 April, with manufacturers, distributors, clinics and laboratories from dozens of countries.
UNIDI, the Italian Dental Industry Association, organises a collective Italian pavilion at IDEX with the support of Italian Trade Agency (ICE). The objective is “to affirm the role of the Italian industry among those leading at a global level”. Mesa Italia is a UNIDI member and joins the collective pavilion to strengthen the Italian presence in the Turkish market, where Mesa already operates with an exclusive IGEA distributor and an active commercial network.
The UNIDI pavilion represents the export vocation of the Italian dental industry: a strategic segment of Made in Italy that combines manufacturing quality, technical research and the ability to build lasting commercial relationships with foreign markets.
What you will find at the Mesa Italia booth at IDEX 2026
At the Mesa Italia booth — Area 5 of the UNIDI pavilion — you can meet:

Context: UNIDI and ICE for Italian dental export
UNIDI is the trade association representing the Italian dental industry (manufacturers, distributors, specialised resellers). Together with the Italian Trade Agency (ICE), UNIDI regularly organises the Italian collective presence at the main international dental fairs: from Cologne (IDS) to Dubai (AEEDC), from Chicago (LMT Lab Day) to Istanbul (IDEX) and Casablanca (Morocco Dental Expo). This institutional support also allows medium-sized companies like Mesa Italia to attend strategic fairs under optimised logistical and commercial conditions.
Mesa’s participation at IDEX 2026 is part of a broader 2026 fair plan which includes Krakdent 2026 (Krakow, 16-18 April), Dental Salon Moscow 2026, Morocco Dental Expo 2026, Expo Latvia Dental 2026, AMIC Dental Mexico 2026, BULDENTAL Sofia 2026 and SSER Bucharest 2026.
Why this participation matters
Turkey is a strategic market for Italian dentistry: it demands high quality standards, appreciates Made in Italy and serves as a gateway to the Balkans, the Caucasus and Central Asia. Mesa Italia, with 50 years of industrial history and a product portfolio covering the entire prosthetic and implant chain, positions itself as a credible technical and industrial partner for distributors, dental laboratories and clinics in the region.
The event is also an opportunity to strengthen relationships with key opinion leaders and active distributors (Mesa operates in Turkey with an exclusive IGEA distributor) and to open discussions with new partners for expansion in the MENA and Central Asia areas.
