【Pre-Show Press Release】Blechexpo & Schweisstec 2015

Oct 01, 2015

Blechexpo International Trade Fair for Sheet Metal Processing and Schweisstec International Trade Fair for Joining Technology in Stuttgart from 3 to 6 November 2015

Blechexpo and Schweisstec with 1200 Exhibitors

When the doors open in just a few weeks to the annual event for the sheet metal, pipe and profile processing industries, the Blechexpo international trade fair for sheet metal processing and the Schweisstec international trade fair for joining technology will shine with product and service offerings presented by roughly 1200 exhibitors from 36 countries around the world. And thus Stuttgart will once again be distinguished as a highly practical centre for process sequences, because it represents the entire spectrum of sheet metal, pipe and profile processing in a compact format including thermal and mechanical joining and fastening technologies.

With more than 150 new exhibitors and strong growth, above all amongst foreign manufacturers and distributors, the complementary know-how platforms, i.e. Blechexpo together with Schweisstec, will reach entirely new dimensions! As mentioned above, exhibitors will come from 36 countries around the globe – led by Germany. Germany is followed by traditionally well-represented countries such as Italy and Switzerland, whereas countries like Turkey and China are working their way up in the list bit by bit. The Netherlands, France, Austria, the Czech Republic, Denmark and Spain are very well established too.

All in all, Blechexpo and Schweisstec 2015 will occupy more than 965,000 square feet of overall exhibition floor space, which corresponds to 21% growth. Today, growth rates of this sort can only be achieved by consistently focusing on solutions which are aligned to process sequences – and the automation of processes and materials handling plays a significant role in this respect. As a result, more robots and handling systems will be showcased at Blechexpo and Schweisstec than ever before, and the same applies above all to automated thermal curing and joining technology, as well as mechanical fastening.

With the complementary issues of sheet metal, pipe and profile processes plus joining and fastening, the trade fair duo covers the overall process sequence from commercial fabrication right on up to industrial production. More and more product diversity with increasing numbers of variants on the one hand, as well as smaller lot quantities and quick changeovers on the other hand, necessitate maximised flexibility – on the whole and where the details are concerned too – namely with regard to equipment, utilisation, applications and changeovers. For this reason, Blechexpo and Schweisstec will present a full spectrum of highly practical, standalone and complete hardware and software solutions ranging from components and modules right on up to subsystems and tooling.

The information, communication and procurement platform will be augmented by an issue-specific, targeted range of supplementary events such as the time-tested exhibitor forum and the Welding Technology Conference.
