More than 13,000 professionals of manufacturing and metalworking attended FABTECH Mexico 2023, the most important technological innovation show in Latin America for metalworking.
In its 18th edition held in Mexico City, FABTECH Mexico grows and reaffirms itself as the largest and most complete event in welding, bending and metal forming, fabrication and industrial finishing with 400 exhibiting companies from more than 25 countries, 300 machines operating, 25,000 m2 of exhibition floor, 31 specialized conferences, two courses for welding and finishing, as well as a successful Business Meeting that attracted buyers from all over the country, generating more than 200 one-to-one appointments between those who offer and demand products and services.
The participants agreed that FABTECH Mexico, more than an exhibition, is a strategic ally in manufacturing processes as it promotes the transfer of knowledge to all companies linked to the metal-mechanical sector to make them more productive, more competitive, reduce operating costs, have more reliable results and, above all, the ability to adapt more flexibly to a changing context.
David Klotz, President of the Precision Metal forming Association (PMA), on behalf of the organizing companies, said he was excited to share with participants the knowledge and experience needed to take their business to the next level. He added that "the success of the exhibition lies in the fact that it really brings value to Mexican and Latin American industrialists by bringing together, hand in hand with the exhibitors, cutting-edge solutions for the entire manufacturing process".
In this regard, Jerónimo García de Brahi, CEO of HERRAMENTAL and industry expert, reiterated that for companies the exhibition is a platform for learning and collaboration. "Here we come together as an industry to share ideas, learn from each other and forge new partnerships. As a participant and industry expert, I am convinced that this event is critical to our growth and development. Innovation is undoubtedly made here. At every stand, at every conference, at every meeting, we are building the future of our industry".
Currently, the metalworking industry is going through a stage of profound and rapid transformation, in which Mexican industrialists have been resilient and adapted to economic and technological challenges, demonstrating an impressive capacity to innovate, grow and create value, highlighted García de Brahi.
In this scenario of challenges and great opportunities, FABTECH Mexico once again fulfilled its commitment to help Mexico's metalworking industry continue to be highly productive, supporting sustained growth as seen in recent decades, with concepts such as Smart Manufacturing, Industrial Internet of Things and Industry 4.0, which were the technological axes present in the four specialized pavilions for each production process.
During his visit to the exhibition floor, Fadlala Akabani Hneide, Secretary of Economic Development of Mexico City highlighted that "FABTECH Mexico is a key space for productive linkages and the promotion of productive investment in machinery and equipment in the manufacturing industries, which are a key sector for the economic growth of Mexico and Mexico City, since they serve strategic sectors such as automotive and aerospace".
FABTECH Mexico is the only event supported by the Fabricators & Manufacturers Association (FMA), Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME), American Welding Society (AWS), Precision Metal forming Association (PMA) and Chemical Coaters Association International (CCAI). The organization of its next edition to be held in the Sultana del Norte, which will take place at Cintermex, in Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, from 7 to 9 May 2024, is already underway.
