Blechexpo + Schweisstec 2017
T
he entire spectrum of ther-
mal and mechanical sheet
metal, profile and pipe pro-
cessingplus thermal andmechani-
cal welding, joining and fastening
technology – the recognised com-
petence duo, namely the 13th Ble-
chexpo and the 6th Schweisstec, is
once again scoring with its unique
portfolio of offerings at highest
international levels! What began
to become apparent in the wake
of Blechexpo and Schweisstec in
2015 has since been transformed
into reality step by step: the
Blechexpo international trade fair
for sheet metal processing and the
Schweisstec international trade
fair for joining technology are
breaking the mould bit by bit and,
already in 2017, will occupy all
available exhibition floor space at
the Stuttgart Exhibition Centre with
15%growth in comparisonwith the
last event.
According to details provided by
project manager Georg Knauer,
both Blechexpo and Schweisstec
are demonstrating strong growth
rates above all with regard to do-
mestic and foreign exhibitors, as
well as occupied booth floor space:
“Already during and shortly after
the event in 2015, initial bookings
were received and registration is
still booming today. At our cur-
rent level of more than 1,130,000
square feet of overall exhibition
floor space, we’ll be setting a new
record. And this certainly won’t be
the end of the story, because in the
meantime we haven’t just occu-
pied all of the available halls at the
Stuttgart Exhibition Centre – they’re
nearly full as well. Due to the fact
that further RFQs and bookings are
coming in every day, we’ll fill the
entire trade fair centre for the first
time in the final analysis. Growing
numbers of manufacturers and dis-
tributors from outside of Germany
are also very favourable, thus in-
creasing the event’s international-
ism and making it possible for us
to present worldwide offerings in
actual practice.”
A large portion of Blechexpo’s last-
ing and increasing international
success can be traced back to the
“process sequence” trade fair con-
cept. Expert visitors from around
the globe are presented with world-
wide product and service offerings,
by means of which they can set up
the production and processing of
components, modules and devices
made of sheet metal, pipe and pro-
fileinadetailedandholisticmanner.
The complementary Schweisstec
trade fair makes a decisive contri-
bution in this respect as well, which
more than simply supplements the
process sequence for sheet metal,
pipe and profile processing with
the fields of thermal and mechani-
cal welding, joining and fastening
technology, but rather seamlessly
extends them. In comparison with
similarly positioned events which
more orless deal with just one orthe
other issue in a selective fashion,
Blechexpo and Schweisstec – as
technical trade fairs and compe-
tence duo – are targeted at a pres-
entation of the entire process se-
quence based on comprehensive
know-how!
This results in numerous syner-
gies for the expert visitors, because
they’re provided with the opportu-
nity of looking beyond their own ho-
rizons. After all, the nomenclatures
covered by Blechexpo and Schweis-
stec include all of the hardware and
software required for the efficient
production of sheet metal, pipe and
profile components, as well as the
modules and devices made from
them, ranging from materials ware-
housing, partsprocessingandauto-
mated assembly joining technology,
right on up to surface finishing. The
13th Blechexpo and the 6th Sch-
weisstec will take place at the Stutt-
gart Exhibition Centre from the 7th
through the 10th of November, 2017.
