The hum of machinery and energy of innovation filled McCormick Place as thousands of professionals gathered for FABTECH 2025. At the center of the action, COE Press Equipment stood out with two well-placed exhibits, one dedicated to stamping and the other to fabrication, each highlighting how COE’s coil processing technology continues to evolve to meet the industry’s demand for precision, speed, and reliability.
Dual Presence Across the Show Floor
COE’s presence extended across both key sides of the show. In the metal forming hall, a 20×40 booth anchored the stamping section and showcased COE’s latest advancements in coil feeding systems, including the ServoMaster Sonic Series, a high-speed feed capable of exceeding 800 strokes per minute (SPM). Over the highway in the fabrication hall, COE maintained a smaller 10×10 space focused on conversations about cut-to-length solutions and future integration opportunities.
While the fabrication booth did not feature live equipment, it served as an effective meeting space where attendees could discuss applications, performance goals, and system compatibility. Throughout the week, visitors stopped by to learn how COE’s systems improve efficiency and simplify material handling. Conversations centered on practical applications such as running faster, reducing waste, and maintaining consistency in high-volume environments.
Trends Driving the Conversation
This year’s FABTECH confirmed what COE continues to see in the marketplace: manufacturers are concentrating on automation, flexibility, and cost efficiency. Attendees showed strong interest in technologies that help overcome labor challenges, streamline setup times, and integrate into connected manufacturing environments.
COE’s solutions support these goals by delivering precision coil feeding, advanced servo motion control, and modular designs that adapt to a wide range of applications. The ServoMaster Sonic Series drew attention for its high-speed accuracy and reliable performance, while the EcoCradle highlighted COE’s commitment to providing an economic, cost-effective alternative to traditional coil handling systems.
Building Momentum for FABTECH 2026
As the show concluded, COE Press Equipment left Chicago with new connections, strong engagement, and a clear direction for next year. In 2026, COE will return to FABTECH Las Vegas with two booths once again. On the stamping side, COE will collaborate with SEYI Presses to feature a live demonstration of material feeding directly into a SEYI press. The fabrication booth will introduce brand-new equipment presentations, including a Compact Cut-to-Length Line, giving attendees an up-close look at the next generation of COE technology.
FABTECH 2025 underscored the strength of innovation, collaboration, and clear vision at COE Press Equipment, setting the stage for another exciting year of progress in 2026.
