FABEX Saudi Arabia 2026 will be held at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Centre from 11 to 14 October, co-located with Metal and Steel Saudi Arabia and Mach Saudi Arabia. This is the 13th edition of FABEX, which is organised by Arabian German Exhibitions, and the three shows together form the kingdom's main metal working, fabrication and machine tool exhibition.
The combined event covers steel and metal products, fabrication and welding technology, machine tools, industrial automation and the supply chain for construction steel and industrial manufacturing. Manufacturers, contractors, fabricators, distributors and industrial buyers attend from Saudi Arabia and the wider region, with national pavilions from the main machine tool exporting countries.
The event matters to executives in industry and construction because Saudi Arabia's industrial strategy and its giga projects have created sustained demand for steel, fabrication capacity and machine tools, and because localisation rules favour companies that manufacture in the kingdom. Chief executives of industrial groups, distributors and equipment manufacturers use the show to meet buyers and to assess joint venture partners.
Exhibitor and visitor registration are published on the official FABEX site. The organiser lists the venue as the Riyadh International Exhibition Center, the exhibition halls of the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Centre.
