What is FABTECH?

FABTECH is North America's largest metal forming, fabricating, finishing and welding event. It combines three previously independent shows—FABTECH International, AWS Welding Show and METALFORM. All three shows in their own right have brought millions of buyers and sellers together from around the world. In 2009 the Chemical Coaters Association, International joined the event to sponsor the Finishing Pavilion and Conference. The union of these three shows with the expansion of the finishing technology created the FABTECH of today.
