“ Blechexpo / Schweisstec will offer a packed presentation programme, a conference, awards, Career Friday and nine halls showcasing sheet metal innovation.”
The industry sector will meet in Stuttgart for the 17th Blechexpo international trade fair for sheet metal working, together with the 10th Schweisstec international trade fair for joining technology, from 21-24 October 2025. Once every two years, it brings international exhibitors and expert visitors to the Stuttgart Exhibition Centre to present up-to-date technologies, innovative solutions and industry-specific trends. As a central platform for networking and exchanging knowledge, the trade show aims to galvanize the international sheet metal industry.
In nine halls at the Stuttgart Exhibition Centre, attention will be focused entirely on sheet metal working, now and in the future, over four days. Topics will range from thermal and mechanical sheet metal processing, along with system peripherals including controllers and software, as well as solutions for handling and feeding, up to quality assurance.
“ Blechexpo / Schweisstec is where suppliers and users can gather information about the latest developments and exchange ideas in a direct dialogue with experts. Sheetmetal, pipe and profile processing can be found in halls 1, 3, 5 and 7. Halls 4 and 6 are reserved for stamping technologies. Cutting, joining and fastening technologies will be presented in hall 9. Hall 8 will focus on pressing and forming technologies. Steel and metal services, as well as surface finishing technology, will be addressed in hall 10. The trade fair duo unites two key production technologies. The clear thematic structure makes it possible for all trade fair visitors to discover new systems and solutions throughout the entire value chain at one single location,” show organiser, P. E. Schall, told ISMR.
In 2023, Blechexpo / Schweisstec attracted 1,256 exhibitors from 38 countries as well as 40,103 visitors. Around 45 per cent of the exhibitors were from outside Germany. Most of the overseas exhibitors came from Italy; Switzerland; Turkey; China and the Benelux countries.
