The 2-yearly welding event is back
After 2 years, your welding event is back: Welding Week. On 19, 20 and 21 May, the metal sector of Belgium and the Netherlands will once again come together in Antwerp Expo.
At this edition, besides the well-known welding and cutting technologies, there is much more to discover at Welding Week. From now on, you can also find solutions for all your metalworking needs at Metal. At Subcontracting, you will meet industrial suppliers specialised in metal parts and machining.
These 3 trade fairs are organised together and give shape to the umbrella name of: Advanced Manufacturing Belgium.
+150 exhibitors
are eager to show you the latest technologies: from welding equipment and automation, robots/cobots, CNC machines, sheet metal working machines, cutting machines, virtual welding, surface treatment to the best industrial suppliers in metalworking and metal parts.
EXPERIENCE AT ITS BEST
During the trade fair, BIL/VCL will host the welding symposium, and Belmetal will present the prestigious Steel Warriors Award. Visitors can also take part in the VDAB competition to become the Belgian champion in virtual welding, or weld their own message onto VCL’s impressive Wall of Flame.
Metal Night - evening opening
No time during the day? No problem, visit the fair after working hours and enjoy a cosy networking drink, snacks and music.
‘Welding Week is the moment for innovation and collaboration’
“Over the past years, it has become clear that proximity and flexibility are increasingly important in our sector. Welding Week is the place to meet strong local partners and explore together how we can make processes smarter and more efficient. In addition, we have the opportunity to present our compact robotic cells—innovations that pay for themselves within just one year. For us, this is the moment to bring together knowledge, technology, and inspiration.”
— Peter Pittomvils (CCO bij Valk Welding Group)
Discovering innovation at the BIL Welding Symposium and on the exhibition floor
The combination of our BIL Welding Symposium — where developments in welding technology, standards and more will once again be extensively covered — with the opportunity to then explore these innovations directly on the exhibition floor, remains extremely valuable.
— Bart Verstraeten, BIL
