FABTECH Canada 2012 Recap


It doesn’t matter what industry you’re in - Canada’s Society of Manufacturing Engineers is probably relevant to you. The same goes for their annual FABTECH conferences, and FABTECH Canada 2012 was no exception. In the filtration business, there are a lot of fields of interest to us: textiles, woven and nonwoven, metal stamping and forming (for filter housings), and of course, new products and areas where our filters might be used. FABTECH Canada provided a little bit of everything.

What were some of the highlights? We work a lot with the welding industry, on, for instance, fume extractors. As you’ll see if you scroll down this page of new products on display at the, there were some new welding helmets from AntecTrade – another type of product that we supply filters for (though not that specific line). FABTECH also kept their Facebook page up-to-date with pictures throughout the event, and you can see them all here: http://www.facebook.com/FABTECH.Canada. All in all, it was another rousing success for SME and FABTECH!
