The Middle East Premier Trade Show for Metal Working, Metal Manufacturing and Steel Fabrication Industry.


SteelFab - 19 YEARS OF EXCELLENCE

Regional governments, especially the UAE, are relentlessly pursuing policies to boost competitiveness of their industrial sector. Governments and businesses are pumping in billions of dollars on emerging technologies like robotics and automation to boost productivity and efficiency. Initiatives, such as the UAEprogramme to develop 1,000 technological projects and industrial census project, are launched to promote innovation, research & development, and enhance local supply chains.



Multiple FOCUS AREAS

The soaring success of SteelFab is due to its increasing focus on several industrial segments within the manufacturing industry. Hence, Welding & Cutting, Power Tools, Machine Tools, Pipe & Tube Machinery, Stainless Steel and AI & Robotics are key attractions at the event. It constantly realigns with industry requirements, with AI & Robotics being a recent addition to its core focus areas.



SteelFab is known as the most comprehensive event of its kind for a reason – it caters to the entire gamut of auxiliary segments of the fabrication industry in a much-focused manner through its special segments such as Power Tools, Machine Tools, Welding & Cutting and Tube & Pipe.

SteelFab enjoys the numero uno position in the Middle East and North Africa region, and is a name to reckon with globally among trade events dedicated to metal forming, fabricating, welding and finishing needs. Helping the regional industry weather, the storms, as well as ride the waves, the event has also become a vital wheel in the manufacturing industry that powers the region’s non-oil economy.
