Tradeshows
PMA is an active participant in many of the manufacturing industry’s major tradeshows. Our involvement in these shows reinforces our commitment to the people and the industries we serve.
Tradeshows offer a powerful platform for us to gain insight into the future of manufacturing and to showcase the products and resources we offer to the metalforming community. They also provide a valuable opportunity for us to connect with members, support our partners, and introduce new companies to the benefits of being aligned with PMA.

As Marketing Project Manager at Wilson Tool International, one of my greatest joys is overseeing our participation in FABTECH Expo, North America's largest metalforming, fabricating, welding and finishing event.

FABTECH 2024 in Orlando exceeded all expectations. Despite the initial challenges posed by the hurricane, the Orlando Convention Center and show management provided exceptional support, ensuring a seamless and successful event.
Our team had the opportunity to connect with countless industry professionals, from newcomers to seasoned veterans. Engaging in meaningful conversations and generating valuable leads was a highlight of the show.

FABTECH was a great show for us. It always is, but this year in particular we received many high-quality leads from the show. We do not sell equipment off of the floor, but many of our leads were immediate needs. Setup was a smooth experience, especially with our forklift labor. We had two size forks and both drivers were experts and very detail-oriented when placing equipment. Our booth location was strong, and the South Hall was definitely the best hall for us to be in.

Attending keynote sessions was a personal highlight for me. The insights and inspiration gained from these presentations will undoubtedly benefit our team moving forward.
Orlando itself proved to be a fantastic host city. Our team had no trouble securing dinner reservations, a significant improvement from previous years.
FABTECH 2024 was a resounding success for Wilson Tool International. From industry engagement to lead generation and product showcasing, the event met all our needs and exceeded our expectations.

The FABTECH event in Orlando was outstanding for Machine Concepts. The attendance was great and it allowed us to have great conversations with new and existing customers. It also allowed us to showcase all that Machine Concepts can offer to the thousands of people that the show brought. We are excited for the meaningful relationships and new opportunities that came from FABTECH. The organizers and convention center worked hard to make sure the show happened and it definitely paid off. They were very helpful in making sure the show was a success. We enjoyed our time at FABTECH and all that Orlando had to offer. It was a great location and we would definitely go back again. We look forward to Chicago next year!

First of all it’s a great networking event, very well arranged by PMA and event partners. Second, we are meeting with customers, potential customers, vendors and not to forget potential new employees. Third, we were able to showcase how Bihler can support the industry in North America not only with machines but also with consulting, tooling, digital services, manpower, spares, etc. We got all of this in Orlando, FL.
