11th Weld India 2016 at Kolkata, Dec 15- 17, 2016,  co- located with National Welding Seminar(NWS)  2016
Indian Institute of Welding (IIW) and International Trade and Exhibitions India Pvt Ltd have joined hands for organizing the 11th Weld India 2016 during December 15- 17, 2016 at Milan Mela Convention Centre, Kolkata, India. Weld India returns to Kolkata after 7 years and open gateway to Eastern & North Eastern States along with neighboring Countries i.e. Bangladesh, Bhutan and Nepal.
Weld India is an internationally renowned series of exhibitions focusing on welding technology, Metallurgy, Materials Testing, Non-destructive testing, NDT, Robotics, Automation and Allied Industries. It is the only comprehensive business platform serving the welding industry and over the years, this leading business event has become the perfect platform for showcasing the entire spectrum of products and services relating to the welding and allied industries.
The Weld India series of exhibition has always been a gratifying experience in terms of organization, participation and generation of new business opportunities in the field of Welding and Allied Industry. By keeping in mind the growth of Indian Welding industry there is an urgent need for a Unified Business Platform which can connect the Welding Industry of India with the Global Welding Industry. This comprehensive Business Platform will help the Industry in Technology, Knowledge transfer and also will help to explore new markets for their products in India.

Indian Institute of Welding (IIW) and International Trade and Exhibitions India Pvt Ltd have joined hand to setup a world class Weld India 2016.
The Indian Institute of Welding (IIW-India) is recognised as the premier Institute related to welding in the Country with over 4500 Individual and Corporate Members. IIW India was incorporated five decade back to foster the development of welding science, technology and engineering in India and since then has been serving the cause of the welding industry through its 13 branches / chapters throughout India.

Welcome to Kolkata (the City of Joy) in The Golden Jubilee Year
