Ready for the welding venue of choice?

If you are active in the sector of equipment and technologies for welding, joining and cutting metals and plastics, please mark November 19 to 21 in your calendar. After four years it will be time again for the Welding Week - Subcontracting event, the ironclad meeting point with the welding community from Belgium and the Netherlands. The 2019 edition can already count on a lot of interest from exhibitors as 95% of all available Welding Week booths have already been taken.

On November 19, 20 and 21  2019, more than 5,000 welding and metal professionals will once again gather at the revamped Antwerp Expo. Besides solutions and technologies in the field of welding and cutting metals and plastics, there will also be a lot of focus on automation and robotization of welding processes. New for 2019 is that machining solutions will also be shown. This is by market demand.
