FABTECH Coming to Canada
October 14, 2011
The Fabricators & Manufacturers Association Intl. (FMA), Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME), and American Welding Society (AWS) will host the first FABTECH® Canada March 20 - 22, 2012, at Toronto’s Congress Centre.
“FABTECH has an unsurpassed reputation across North America, and we’re thrilled to bring a uniquely Canadian version to the marketplace here,” said SME Show Manager Janine Saperson. “FABTECH Canada 2012 will be a one-stop venue for solutions for welding, lasers, fabricating, bending, forming, and more, tailored to the unique needs of our country’s growing manufacturing sector, as well as any business that either produces or relies on equipment and machinery in its day-to-day operations.”
FABTECH Canada will unveil new products and innovations to the Canadian market through an extensive exhibitor pavilion. It will also provide opportunities for learning and networking with technology experts via a three-day conference and Town Hall panel session.
In the U.S., FABTECH will continue to be held annually in three rotating cities: Chicago, Las Vegas, and Atlanta. The FABTECH brand was also introduced to the Mexican market in 2009 as FABTECH Mexico.
“FMA is excited to partner with SME and AWS to extend the FABTECH brand into Canada, and we hope this venture will match our success in Mexico,” said FMA President Emeritus Jerry Shankel. “This initiative supports FMA’s other business interests in Canada and is a good opportunity for us to better serve the country’s fabricating and welding industries.”
According to Ray Shook, AWS executive director, “AWS is pleased to be a part of FABTECH Canada. This is a natural step based on the strong U.S. brand that has been built, and it supports our international development strategies.”
