As expected, the 14th Blechexpo international trade fair for sheet metal working was an industry highlight and closed successfully with 1498 exhibitors from 36 countries. 41'152 visitors from a total of 113 countries took advantage of the trade fair, which in the meantime has grown to 108'000 square metres of exhibition floor space, in order to bring themselves up to date with regard to sheet metal, pipe and profile processing, as well as cutting, joining, forming and welding technologies.  Record-Breaking Figures in all Categories – Nine Fully Occupied Halls – More International than Ever. As René Gerber AG we were represented with a booth and a lecture in the forum.
