The practice-oriented trade fair duo Blechexpo and Schweisstec will be held in Stuttgart from November 3 to 6. The Salzgitter Group will be represented with six subsidiaries in Hall 4 Stand 4210.
During the four trade fair days in Stuttgart, well over 1,000 exhibitors from more than 35 nations will be presenting their products and services from the most diverse areas in sheet metal working and joining. As one of the most important sheet metal working sectors, the automotive industry is interested in such solutions as innovative lightweight construction. This is why Salzgitter Flachstahl is focusing its fair presentation this year on the intragroup 'Initiative Automotive' project.'
