Record breaking AWS Weldmex-Fabtech- Metalform Expo A RECORD 6,100 attendees descended on the Cintermex Exposition facility in Monterrey, Mexico to see the latest technology in welding, fabrication and metal- forming. The event, held in June, attracted 73% of first time attendees – also a record. “We achieved our goal of making this a true national show with over 30% of the attendance coming from outside of Monterrey, including 15% from Mexico City and the south,” commented Chuck Cross, show manager. The event, which brought together two existing shows – AWS Weldmex and Metalform Mexico – as well as new event Fabtech Mexico, allowed attendees to see new equipment and processes for welding, metal-forming and metal fabrication technologies. “We were able to bring our entire buying team from different departments, which saves us several months of sourcing,” said Ing Roberto Figueroa, sourcing director, Industrias John Deere. “Face-to-face events are the best way to market our products,” commented Enrique Parra, sales manager for Hemsa, a major exhibitor. “We will continue to use this event as our marketing arm in the future.” The exposition was sponsored by the American Welding Society, the Precision Metalforming Association, the Fabricators and Manufacturers Association and the Society of Manufacturing Engineers.
