Synergy with Fastenex
The international exhibition Fastenex, dedicated to fasteners, industrial tooling and components, will be held at the same time as Weldex.
Holding the two projects together forms a unified industrial platform bringing together specialists in metalworking, mechanical engineering, construction, metal structure production, the automotive industry and other sectors. The combined audience of the two exhibitions exceeds 9,000 professional visitors.
Practical demonstrations and competitions
One of the distinctive features of Weldex is equipment demonstrations held directly at participants' stands. Visitors can see welding systems, robotic systems, and equipment for metal preparation and quality control in operation in real production scenarios.
The exhibition also traditionally serves as a platform for professional championships and industry competitions, including national welder competitions and contests for innovative projects.
Why companies choose Weldex
For manufacturers of welding equipment and materials, participating in Weldex is an opportunity to present their technologies to a highly interested audience and strengthen their position in one of the largest industrial markets in Eurasia.
The combination of a large-scale exposition, a quality business program, international participation and a high concentration of professional visitors makes Weldex one of the most effective tools for business development in the welding industry.
