Chicago sheet metal forming event draws more than in 2013
The last time Fabtech visited Chicago, it coincided with tornadoes and severe thunderstorms that pummeled Illinois the day before the show opened.
Two years later, the weather was much better — as was the attendance at the Nov. 9-12, 2015, sheet metal products trade show at McCormick Place convention center. The event brought 1,700 exhibitors and close to 44,000 attendees from 90 countries to the city.
