Raising The BarSteelFab 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.

Keeping Up With ChangeThe metal fabrication industry is evolving fast to keep up with modern trends and technologies. The Internet of Things and

connected machinery are altering the landscape and fast taking hold in the metal fabrication industry in the region. The 17th SteelFab 2021 will help better equip regional metal fabricators to ride the tech wave.

Where Tech Comes FirstThe previous show witnessed the introduction of the first-automated welding and assembly line in the world, catching eyeballs and influencing purchase decisions. Every edition of the show sees similar launches of products and technology that could be gamechangers for the industry.

Why You Should Be ThereThrough two full-fledged industry verticals, special focus areas, national pavilions, technical presentations, seminars and live displays, SteelFab provides you a sure-shot platform to showcase your latest products and solutions to the regional fabrication industry. The show has also set the benchmark quite high in terms of quality audience with more than half of the visitors being preregistered trade visitors.

Single Event For Multiple SectorsApart from the core segments like steel fabrication and welding & cutting, major industries such as oil & gas, construction, electrical and ship building directly rely on SteelFab to get a bigger picture on new technology, innovations and customized solutions. Increasing demand for metal processing from auxiliary segments such as machinery, machining, tool & accessories, aluminium & glass, HVAC and MEP is also driving demand.

Why Demand Is UpIncreasing demand is a direct result of shifting trends in favour of manufacturing in the region. The country’s manufacturing sector, which accounts for more than half of the country's total non-oil exports, is the primary demand driver, followed by other core sectors. The demand and supply for several up-and-coming industries such as aerospace is also fast gaining traction.

Special Focus Areas:Power Tools, Machine Tools, Welding & Cutting, Tube & PipeNational Pavilions:China, India, Italy, Taiwan, Turkey and the UKLaunched in 2020:Best Welder Competition

Strike While The Iron Is HotThe recent natural gas discovery is set to be a big game changer for the UAE economy. The country made what could be

the world's largest natural gas discovery since 2005 at Jebel Ali reservoir located between Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Combined with other recent oil and gas finds, it is expected to boost the country’s growth and spending on infrastructure

projects. This augurs well for the core sectors that drive demand for the steel fabrication sector because the oil & gas sector is still the backbone of the national economy even as the economic diversification

policy of the UAE has created a pioneering development model regionally and globally.

Cutting It FineGiven the critical nature of welding requirements in several of the core industries, equipment that facilitate precision cutting and welding with high speeds and flexibility is the most sought after in the region. At the Welding & Cutting special section, expect ready takers for oxyfuel, plasma and laser cutting systems and special machines and equipment for welding, cutting, brazing, soldering and heating. Get The Right ToolFor regional fabricators, machine tools that offer speed and reliability are indispensable during complex processes. With the industrial manufacturing sector booming, the Machine Tools segment targets various divisions like industrial units, automotive, chemicals, aerospace, food processing, precision engineering and transportation.

6th FASTENERS WORLD MIDDLE EASTOrganised simultaneously alongside SteelFab, the Fasteners World Middle East is a full-fledged vertical now in its sixth edition, will be a one-stop shop for solutions to the entire fasteners and fixing supply chain. From automotive to aerospace, construction to HVAC, furniture to appliances, fastener professionals from every segment of the market can find fasteners and fixings, assembly and installation systems and fastener manufacturing technology here.

Tubes & PipesThe requirements for tube and pipe fabrication technology come mainly from the oil & gas, petrochemical, construction and automotive industries. Manufacturers and suppliers of bending, forming, notching, chamfering and end-finishing machines that are used for the entire tube fabrication process can directly target these industries at the Tubes & Pipes section.

The Most Comprehensive EventSteelFab 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.

The 6th Edition

Who's The Best?The launch of the 'Best Welder @SteelFab' competition has helped the event to engage

with welding-industry professionals across the region in a better way. Held in association with

Lincoln Electric and Middle East Industrial Training Institute (MEITI), it aims at promoting

excellence in workmanship and presents winners with valuable prizes.
