Welding Week NL - 2026
On October 6, 7 and 8, 2026, Evenementenhal Gorinchem will be transformed into a true welding, gluing and cutting paradise. Easyfairs and NIL (Netherlands Institute for Welding Technology) are joining forces for this trade event in the coming edition. Both professionals and students from the industry can be inspired by the technology of the future in the field of welding, bonding and cutting to create impressive products and constructions. Welding Week powered by NIL, the trade event for joining techniques!
There is an increasing demand in the manufacturing industry for simplicity in the ordering process of quality products with timely delivery. This year, VDL Groep has launched the platform OrderOn.com, making significant strides in the digitalization of production and business processes for on-demand ordering of metal products. Laser cutting and bending of metal are now always within reach, easily arranged online in just a few clicks.
During an interactive session, we will demonstrate with a live demo how OrderOn.com can simplify metal processing. Additionally, we will provide insight into the fully automated production process, where we produce our orders 24/7 with the latest machines.
On October 6, 7, and 8, 2026, Welding Week Powered by NIL will take place at Evenementenhal Gorinchem, the biennial event for joining technologies: equipment and technologies for welding, bonding, and cutting metals and plastics. With Welding Week, we provide a platform for all joining technologies; through this platform, these techniques can be further developed, and visitors and exhibitors can work together to elevate joining technology to a higher level. Take advantage of this three-day networking opportunity and make sure you are there for Welding Week 2024!
