FABEX Saudi Arabia 2026 opens on 11 October at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center on King Abdullah Road and runs for four days until 14 October. It is held alongside Metal & Steel Saudi Arabia and MACH Saudi Arabia, bringing the metals manufacturing chain, from melting to automated machining, onto a single industrial floor.
The organiser, Arabian German Exhibitions, expects more than 500 exhibitors across over 20,000 square metres, presenting more than 3,000 products and machines to over 20,000 professionals and specialists, as the Kingdom expands its infrastructure and advanced manufacturing projects under Vision 2030.
The show is organised around three areas: iron, steel and metals, covering melting furnace technology, rolling equipment, pipe and tube manufacturing, stainless steel and fastening materials; metal forming, cutting and welding, with sheet metal forming solutions, modern cutting machines and welding and weld-testing equipment; and CNC, automation and robotics, from CNC systems and industrial robots to the measurement, control and lifting equipment that raises operational efficiency.
The organiser has launched an official event app on the App Store and Google Play that lets visitors browse the exhibitor list and save companies, find their way across the four halls with a hall map, book meetings with exhibitors in advance, and reach visitor support and information desks.
Doors open daily from 3pm to 10pm. Entry is free with early registration, which gives visitors their badge directly, and parking is free on a first-come basis.
