SteelFab has achieved new benchmarks with every edition of the show during its six year run (October 2004, January 2006, January 2007, January 2008, January 2009 and January 2010). 
 
The number of exhibitors has constantly risen from 48 in the first edition to 231 direct participants in 2009 representing over 600 brands from all over the world. Even with the global recession, SteelFab 2010 retained 190 direct exhibitors who showcased over 500 brands at the show.

Actual floor space has increased from 1,200 sqm (gross in 2004) to 18,000 (gross) in 2009 and 16,000 (gross) in 2010. The direct exhibitor numbers from Italy, Germany, and other European countries have remained quite stable.

Ucimu-Sistemi Per Produrre – the Association of Italian Manufacturers of Machine Tools, Robots, Automation Systems and Ancillary Products has been a supporter of SteelFab since the third edition and will continue its support for the next edition.

For the third consecutive time, Bavaria participated with a joint companies’ stand and a pavilion. It is expected that the German participation will be enlarged with an official German Pavilion at SteelFab 2010.
