LAS VEGAS — If manufacturing executives were depressed over Mitt Romney’s loss in the presidential election a week earlier, it didn’t show at Fabtech.
Close to 26,000 people came here Nov. 12-14 for the annual metal forming and fabrication show. It was Fabtech’s first time back in Las Vegas since 2008. The trade show floor was busy, and if people still had politics on their minds, they didn’t let that stop them from buying.
