Industrial suppliers

Subcontracting is back

Are you also always in search of the best industrial suppliers of parts and processes in metal, plastics and composites? Then Subcontracting is your event!

Industrial suppliers will show you parts & operations in metals, plastics and composites here.

At this edition, there is much more to discover beyond the well-known industrial suppliers at Subcontracting. From now on, you can also find solutions for all your metalworking needs at Metal. At Welding Week, you will once again encounter the established welding and cutting technologies.

These three trade fairs are organised together and form the overarching concept of Advanced Manufacturing Belgium.

+150 exhibitors

are ready to present the latest technologies: from welding equipment, automation and robots/cobots to laser welding, CNC machines, sheet-metal and cutting machines, virtual welding, surface treatment, and high-quality industrial suppliers for metalworking and components.

TOP-LEVEL EXPERIENCE

During the fair, BIL/VCL welding day hosts the welding symposium, and Belmetal presents the prestigious Steel Warriors Award. Visitors can also take part in the VDAB competition to become the Belgian virtual welding champion, or weld their own message onto VCL’s impressive Wall of Flame.

Metal Night - nocturne

No time during the day? No problem! Visit the fair after working hours and enjoy a relaxed networking drink, tasty snacks, and atmospheric music.

A very accessible and welcoming show to strengthen valuable contacts and create new ones.
