Björn Kemper
CEO Kemper GmbH

"It is impossible to imagine our everyday life without cutting and joining metal. The SCHWEISSEN & SCHNEIDEN is the world's most important leading trade fair and thus an international meeting place for the industry. Messe Essen is therefore not only oriented towards the wishes and needs of the visitors, but also those of the exhibitors. This is reflected in the trade fair advisory board, in which representatives of the most important exhibitors and associations of the industry are represented."

Werner Krömmer
Managing Board GTS e.V. c/o Linde AG

"Schweissen & Schneiden has become an important trade fair for coating to bring our technology closer to new markets. The increasing interest in laser cladding forms the ideal interface for us to show the advantages and the whole range of thermal spraying.

In addition, there are current topics for the market, such as a lower CO2 footprint in the supply chain through optimised component design or repair instead of new part production. The high standing of the trade fair among visitors forms the right platform to represent to the trade audience - in addition to joining and cutting - also coating from the service provider to the plant technology."

Svenja Linn-Stein
EWM AG - Team Leader Event Marketing & Corporate Communications

"SCHWEISSEN & SCHNEIDEN is indispensable as the leading trade fair for the welding industry. From decision-makers to users - this is where the trade public finds out about current developments and sets important impulses for economic growth. The S+S was the most important meeting place for the industry before the pandemic - and is even more so today."

Jörg Mosser
CEO/ Managing Director Europe, Messer Cutting Systems GmbH

"SCHWEISSEN & SCHNEIDEN continues to be the leading international trade show for our industry. Innovations and trends in the industry, especially in the context of digitalization, are in the spotlight, as is, of course, Germany as a production location. Due to the long dry spell with regard to trade fairs, the expectations for the S & S are particularly high this time. Of course, we will also set the necessary accents to meet the high demands of our customers as well as our own and are looking forward to the event!"
