Welcome to SteelFab 2017
SteelFab started in 2006 has today become a "Must-Visit" trade show for Metal Working, Metal Manufacturing and Steel Fabrication industry. Resilience being the hallmark of SteelFab, the show continues to expand gathering increased number of exhibitors and visitors in every edition, irrespective of the ups and downs of the economy, troubled times of 2008 and the current oil slump. The cut-throat competition and global economic constraints are continually forcing regional players players to come up with innovative products every time to maintain their growth. SteelFab is the best platform for these regional players to showcase their upgraded and advanced machinery and equipment.
If you haven't yet participated in this global event yet, here is an opportunity for you. Mark your presence at the 13th edition of SteelFab, which is to be held from 16th January, 2017 to 19th January, 2017 at Expo Centre Sharjah, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates.
Why SteelFab Will Work For You?
To strengthen the non-oil sectors in GCC region, many policies and guidelines are being announced frequently. Due to upcoming events like Expo 2020 and FIFA world cup 2022, many companies are investing in infrastructure and manufacturing sectors. All these moves are propelling the steel fabrication and metal working industry. UAE has planned to increase the contribution of non-oil sectors from its current 69% to 80% by 2021 through significant investment in the industrial sector, along with other industries. Through government support and consistent policy push, steel industry is encouraged to upgrade, expand, reconstruct and set up new units.
