October 7–10, 2025, Crocus Expo IEC will host the 24th International Exhibition of Welding Materials, Equipment, and Technologies — Weldex, and the 3rd International Exhibition of Fasteners and Tooling — Fastenex.
Weldex is the largest international exhibition of welding materials, equipment, and technologies in Russia, held since 2001. Over this time, it has gained the status of the premier platform for meetings between manufacturers and suppliers from around the world, enabling industry players to address business objectives, sign new cooperation agreements, and discuss pressing issues.
Fastenex is the only international B2B exhibition of fasteners and tooling in Russia, designed for niche specialists. The event runs concurrently with Weldex in the same hall.
This year, the exhibitions will bring together a wide circle of professionals: more than 190 exhibitors and over 7,000 visitors. The exhibitor geography will cover 27 countries and 76 regions of Russia. Moreover, the international status of the exhibitions is confirmed by such authoritative organizations as the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry (UFI) and the Russian Union of Exhibitions and Fairs (RUEF).

Demonstrations of the latest welding, cutting, and soldering technologies at master classes at exhibitor stands
For the third consecutive year, exhibition participants are organizing master classes at their stands, where visitors can see various equipment in action, learn new welding techniques, ask specialists questions, and improve their skills. This year, the master classes will feature the following companies: GC AVrora, MGT, RUDETRANS, HUGONG, VECTOR GROUP, and LASERCUT.
Topics:
- GC AVrora (Booth A9021): "AVRORA — Advanced MIG/MAG Technologies. Demonstration of the Capabilities of 'Resurs' Industrial Semi-Automatic Machines"
- MGT (Booth A6021): "How a High-Tech Welding Machine Can Increase Your Production Efficiency"
- RUDETRANS (Booth A4003): "Modern Technologies of Micro Resistance Welding in Industry"
- HUGONG (Booth A3041): "The Perfect Seam: TIG Welding Master Class"
- VECTOR GROUP (Booth A7051): "Semi-Automatic Aluminum Welding"
- LASERCUT (Booth A4057): "From Concept to Result: Full Demonstration of the Capabilities of the Wattsan 4-in-1 G2 Raycus 3000W Multifunctional Laser Welder"
Master classes are free to attend with an exhibition entry ticket.
Extensive Business Program
Over four days, the Weldex venue will host thematic conferences and trend sessions highlighting promising technological solutions, including 3D printing, laser technologies, and welding and diagnostics of bimetallic pipelines. All business program events are free to attend with an exhibition ticket.
The Main Plenary Session of Weldex 2025 will be dedicated to the development strategy for welding production in the current reality. Panel discussions will also be held on personnel training, the use of innovative technologies, and industry statistical indicators. An important place will be given to practical case studies on industrial digitalization and the implementation of robotics in welding technologies.
Professional Competitions for Industry Representatives
Three professional competitions will take place during the exhibition: the National Welding Championship "Russian Welding Cup Weldex," the "Best Implemented Innovative Project in Welding 2024–2025," and "Women in Welding."
"Women in Welding"
Over the years, participants in the "Women in Welding" competition have included leading engineers, technologists, chief welders, welding equipment operators, teachers and company managers, as well as artistic welders. This year, women specialists have the opportunity to present their achievements across six categories spanning various areas of the industry.
National Welding Championship "Russian Welding Cup Weldex"
The championship is held in two main categories: "Professional Welder" and "Welding Student." Participants compete in three disciplines: Manual Metal Arc Welding (MMA), Manual Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (TIG), and Semi-Automatic Metal Inert/Active Gas Welding (MIG/MAG). Each competitor must pass two stages: a theoretical knowledge test and a practical welding test. The jury consists of experienced specialists who will impartially assess weld quality based on various criteria, including technique, weld quality, adherence to procedures, and safety.
"Best Implemented Innovative Project in Welding 2024–2025"
The main goal of the competition is to promote domestic technologies and improve the quality and safety of welding processes. The competition is designed to identify the best projects implemented by welding production managers — chief welders and management representatives responsible for technical leadership.
The Industrial Sponsor of the exhibition is SKT-SERVICE LLC. The company was established in 2022 as part of one of Russia's largest vertically integrated, full-cycle industrial and metallurgical holdings, Akron Holding Group, and consolidates the production assets of the Pskovelektrosvar and Pskovgeokabel plants.
