EDITOR’S NOTE<br />
Welcome to this edition of <strong>Welding</strong> <strong>World</strong>.<br />
Welcome to this EuroBLECH special edition of <strong>Welding</strong> <strong>World</strong>.<br />
We have enjoyed an excellent <strong>2018</strong> already with a number of exciting developments for AWD<br />
members while we have of course celebrated the very best in the business with our latest<br />
edition of the <strong>Welding</strong> <strong>World</strong> Awards earlier in the year.<br />
Now as we look ahead to the end of the year our main focus is on EuroBLECH and things don’t<br />
get much more exciting for this publication than our plans for this remarkable event.<br />
It is of course the world’s largest exhibition for the sheet metal industry covering the entire<br />
technology chain and with more than 1,500 exhibitors from 40 countries it attracts visitors<br />
across the board from small, medium and large enterprises seeking various manufacturing<br />
solutions in the sector.<br />
EuroBLECH of course is being made extra special for <strong>Welding</strong> <strong>World</strong> as during the week as we<br />
will also host our own AWD presence at the event. So please pop along and find us at EuroB-<br />
LECH - we would be delighted to chat to you about all things AWD, welding and of course<br />
business in general.<br />
And of course if you aren’t fortunate to be in Hannover for this year’s exhibition fear not, you<br />
can enjoy all the best features, reviews and regular columns that <strong>Welding</strong> <strong>World</strong> provides in<br />
this edition – and you can get a real taste of EuroBLECH with our review in our final edition of<br />
the year due out in December.<br />
