Hannover Fairs USA to co-locate tradeshows with FABTECH

Hannover Fairs USA (HFUSA), Deutsche Messe’s U.S. subsidiary, today announced that it has formed a partnership with the owners of FABTECH (FMA, SME, AWS, PMA, and CCAI) to co-locate the Industrial Automation North America and Motion, Drive & Automation North America (MDA North America) tradeshows with FABTECH® Chicago at McCormick Place Nov. 6-9, 2017.

Industrial Automation North America (factory, process, and building automation technologies) and MDA North America (power transmission, motion control, and fluid technology) are part of the Hannover Messe global portfolio of industrial technology events. FABTECH is North America’s largest collaboration of technology, equipment, and knowledge in the metal forming, fabricating, welding, and finishing industries.

Co-locating these two tradeshows at FABTECH Chicago allows HFUSA to provide them on an annual basis. Both currently are at IMTS in the even years.
