FABTECH Canada 2022 Returns with a Successful In Person Event in Toronto
Making its return to the Toronto Congress Centre for the first time since 2018, FABTECH Canada 2022 demonstrated the upcoming years’ advancements and solutions in metal fabrication and welding from June 14 – 16. The event represented an eagerness to return to business drawing over 5,500 attendees from ontario and across Canada.
“The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive,” said John Catalano, SME senior director, FABTECH. “The show remains the best place for attendees to explore the latest technology advancements, connect with peers, network, and gain a competitive business edge. Exhibitors were enthusiastic about the high-quality of leads they collected and the sales inquiries generated during the show.”
Close to 60 new products were on display at the three-day event on the Congress Centre’s 80,000 square foot show floor, with features from over 200 world-class companies in metal fabrication, metal forming, welding and laser cutting equipment.
AMADA CANADA, BLM Group, Bystronic Canada, FANUC Canada, Heraeus Noblelight America, Hypertherm Inc, KUKA Robotics Canada, Lincoln Electric, Mitsubishi Laser, Sames Kremlin Inc, TRUMPF Inc, and Westway Machinery were among the top-rated exhibiting companies participating, providing hands-on displays and live product demonstrations in several dozen technology focus areas that included cutting, lasers, press brakes, robotics, and welding machines.
“Westway Machinery had a great experience at this year’s FABTECH Canada,” said Matt Walter. “After four years without a local fabricating trade show, because of the pandemic, it was great to be back. There was a lot of excitement and interest to see what was new at our booth. Overall, we were very pleased with the amount of activity this year!”
FABTECH Canada also partnered this year with the CWB Group, an industry-supported private sector organization providing welding certification, management systems registration and training services, to further provide connectivity and networking opportunities for Canada’s welding industry. The CWB Group held its CanWeld 2022 Conference in conjunction with FABTECH Canada on June 15-16, educating attendees on the latest welding technologies, and current issues affecting the welding industry.
Adding to the 50+ conference sessions and workshops was a series of insightful, educational keynote presentations and leadership discussion panels from NGen CEO Dr. Jayson Myers, CWB Association Director Max Ceron, and former NHL captain Doug Gilmour. The presentation’s topics covered a wide range including the growth of manufacturing, risks and solutions in cybersecurity, the modern landscape of hiring and skills evaluation, the positive shifts in women-to-men work ratios in the automotive industry, and the new strategies and opportunities for manufacturers.
The return of Canada’s largest metal forming, fabricating, welding and finishing event is planned for June 11-13, 2024.
