September 14 - 19, 2009

Schweissen & Schneiden, the Essen Welding Show has established its position as number one in its industry. With the biggest names in the industry taking part and almost 60,000 trade buyers coming to see them Schweissen & Schneiden continues to become more international. With more than 1,000 exhibitors, the show takes place in the entire exhibition complex of more 1.1 million sq feet.

The AWS - American Welding Society will again sponsor the US Pavilion. Jeff Weber, Associate Executive Director of the AWS said, "Essen has always been a great fair but it was much more international in 2005 This makes it even more valuable for our marketing objectives. It has always offered good business, but the last show was better than before. It is a fair in which we will always participate."

Products include not only welding supplies, tools and equipment, but also installations and equipment for joining, cutting and coating of metallic and non-metallic materials, plants and equipment for heat treating and other manufacturing processes, equipment for producing filler materials, workshop and work place equipment and much, much more.

Schweissen & Schneiden 2009 includes 2 special events - the QTI - Quality Testing International and Kleben, the structural bonding section. QTI offers manufacturers and service providers from the fields of measurement technology, quality assurance and materials testing a platform on which to establish and intensify customer contacts. Kleben gives companies and institutions active in the field of adhesive-bonding technology the possibility to present themselves in an independent fair segment, of portraying the advantages of adhesive-bonding technolgy and of winning over new customers in a targeted form.
