From November 5 to 8, 2019, the 14th Blechexpo and the 7th Schweisstec in Stuttgart will be all about outstanding process expertise in the processing of sheet metal, tubes, and profiles. This trade fair duo is set to break some records, with a significant increase in exhibitors and booth space sold. The internationality of the exhibitors has also seen a notable rise, with bookings and reservations doubling from near and far abroad compared to 2017.

A total of around 1,500 exhibitors will dominate the trade fair activities around Blechexpo / Schweisstec in nine halls. This marks an increase of approximately 150 main exhibitors from the previous year. The amount of booth space sold has increased by 15 percent, corresponding to around one and a quarter more exhibition halls. The reason for this boom is the strictly practice-oriented concept of the trade show double: Blechexpo / Schweisstec covers all relevant topics and trends around the digitalized and automated world of sheet metal and metal processing.

Sheet metal as a construction material, together with tubular and profiled materials, is a common alternative to cast iron, structural steel, and plastic structures. FEM-optimized lightweight and modular component systems characterize modern vehicle, machine, and apparatus construction. The precise cutting, punching, and forming of steel, aluminum, and non-ferrous metal sheets take on a special status at Blechexpo and Schweisstec. Trade visitors will find solutions and systems for all aspects of pre-machining and finishing, the completion of assemblies, and the surface finish of sensitive components.

For a beneficial exchange of ideas, stahlnews.de GmbH & Co. KG is organizing the 4th Stahlnews Experts’ Meeting together with the trade fair organizer on November 5 at 6:15 pm. The motto of this event is “The steel industry in times of globalization and Industry 4.0.” Lectures will be given by well-known industry insiders aimed at professionals from the steel and sheet metal processing industry.
