FABTECH is North America’s largest metal forming, fabricating, welding and finishing event. It’s a massive show that brings together industry professionals, suppliers, and manufacturers to showcase the latest technologies, equipment, and solutions in the metalworking world. 

It has a rich history dating back to 1981 when it debuted in Cleveland, Ohio. It started as a regional trade show with 161 exhibitors covering 42,925 net square feet. Over the years, it has grown exponentially to become North America’s largest and most authoritative event for metal forming, fabricating, welding, and finishing.

In its initial years, FABTECH focused on showcasing metal forming and fabricating technologies. It quickly gained popularity and recognition within the industry. However, to meet the growing demands of the industry, FABTECH expanded its scope to include welding and finishing processes. This broadened the show’s appeal and attracted a wider audience.  

FABTECH’s success is also attributed to its strong partnerships with leading industry associations like the Fabricators & Manufacturers Association International (FMA), SME, the American Welding Society (AWS), the Precision Metalforming Association (PMA), and the Chemical Coaters Association International (CCAI). These partnerships have brought in expertise, resources, and a vast network of industry professionals.
