“Westway Machinery had a great experience at this year’s FABTECH Canada,” said Matt Walter. “After four years without a local fabricating trade show, because of the pandemic, it was great to be back. There was a lot of excitement and interest to see what was new at our booth. Overall, we were very pleased with the amount of activity this year!”

FABTECH Canada also partnered this year with the CWB Group, an industry-supported private sector organization providing welding certification, management systems registration and training services, to further provide connectivity and networking opportunities for Canada’s welding industry.
