METALFORM

CLEVELAND, OH—March 3, 2009—The METALFORM Mexico exposition and educational conference will host its sixth edition in conjunction with AWS Weldmex and newly launched FABTECH Mexico. Joining them will be COATech, the only show for finishing and corrosion control in Mexico. Since its inception in 2004, METALFORM Mexico has historically been a fall show, but as part of the co-location will move from its traditional time slot to spring.

Held at Cintermex in Monterrey June 2-4, 2009, the co-located shows will provide attendees in the Mexico metalworking industry an experience they’ve never had before: the ability to view an array of equipment and services that cover every aspect of the metal parts manufacturing process. The co-location creates a “one-stop shop” where welding, stamping, tool and die, forming, fabricating, assembly and finishing equipment suppliers and service providers will display their products and technologies all under one roof.

More than 8,000 attendees are expected to visit Cintermex for the METALFORM Mexico, AWS Welding, FABTECH Mexico and COATech shows—the largest audience in attendance for these expositions in Mexico.

Those interested in exhibiting at METALFORM Mexico can navigate to the exposition’s website at www.metalform.com/mexico. With three months left before the show, the METALFORM Mexico exhibit floor is 80 percent filled.

METALFORM Mexico alternates each year between Mexico City and Monterrey, effectively covering the entire Mexican metalforming market. The show is sponsored by the Precision Metalforming Association (PMA), the full-service trade association representing the $91-billion metalforming industry of North America, and co-organized by Trade Show Consulting (TSC), which has been producing shows in Mexico since 1992.
