Wanpo to showcase weld-finishing abrasives at FABTECH 2026

Suzhou Wanpo Grinding Material Co., Ltd. will exhibit abrasive tools for weld finishing and other metalworking jobs at FABTECH 2026 in Las Vegas, with founder and general manager Chen Chong overseeing preparations. The company is aiming to use the three-day show to pair product demonstrations with technical follow-up for visitors.

Why it matters: - FABTECH puts Wanpo in front of buyers looking for grinding, blending and finishing tools in the same venue as welding and fabrication equipment. - The show gives Wanpo a recurring U.S. platform to discuss abrasive products, collect customer requirements and pursue follow-up after the event. - Wanpo’s exhibit strategy centers on matching specific abrasives to specific metalworking tasks, which can speed up purchasing decisions.

What happened: - Suzhou Wanpo Grinding Material Co., Ltd. plans to exhibit at FABTECH 2026 in Las Vegas from Oct. 21–23. - Wanpo is listed at booth S46092 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. - Founder and General Manager Chen Chong is overseeing the company’s preparations. - Wanpo is marking its third consecutive year at FABTECH.

The details: - The planned display includes flap discs, mounted flap wheels, abrasive paper and belts. - Wanpo also plans to show nonwoven finishing products, quick-change discs and abrasive belts. - The company’s preparation plan includes application videos, English-language product information, samples and technical discussions. - The July 10, 2026 preparation meeting covered exhibit selection, booth layout, English materials, technical questions, customer test requests and logistics. - The meeting also included plans to record visitor requirements and follow up after the exhibition. - Wanpo’s English-language catalog includes product codes, dimensions, grade information and application descriptions. - The catalog is designed to help buyers narrow a general grinding or polishing request to a specific item. - The company’s flap disc line includes aluminum oxide, zirconia alumina and ceramic abrasive options. - Flap discs are available in flat T27 and conical T29 configurations. - Individual flap disc product families have their own dimensions and grit selections. - Mounted flap wheels place abrasive flaps around a wheel carried on a shaft. - Wanpo describes mounted flap wheels as suitable for surface treatment and finishing, including stainless steel work. - Cartridge rolls use abrasive cloth in a compact rolled format. - Wanpo lists cartridge rolls for corners and other restricted areas. - The company’s broader catalog includes products for cleaning, blending and subsequent finishing. - Wanpo’s exhibit space documents identify Chen as the company’s general manager and list him for booth logistics, billing and marketing communications. - Wanpo was established in Suzhou in October 2010. - FABTECH’s official directories list Wanpo at booth W3088 in Orlando in 2024 and B18083 in Chicago in 2025. - The Orlando event ran Oct. 15–17 at the Orange County Convention Center. - The Chicago event ran Sept. 8–11 at McCormick Place. - FABTECH’s published program includes 180-plus expert-led conference sessions. - Show hours are scheduled for 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Oct. 21 and 22, and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Oct. 23, local time in Las Vegas.

Between the lines: - Wanpo is using the booth to push a task-first sales pitch, starting with the workpiece, the weld condition and the finish requirement before recommending a tool. - That approach fits industrial buying, where size, mounting style, abrasive grade and clearance often decide whether a product works on the line. - Chen’s role ties exhibition planning to product development, manufacturing and overseas business. - After FABTECH 2025 in Chicago, Chen joined a Sept. 18 meeting to review an overseas buyer’s annual purchasing needs for mounted flap wheels and cartridge rolls. - Company minutes from that meeting covered quotations, delivery timing, abrasive cloth availability, imported material lead times and production capacity. - The resulting action plan called for daily production task lists, inspection and packaging oversight and delivery dates tied to raw material arrivals.

What’s next: - Wanpo plans to use visitor conversations at FABTECH 2026 to collect technical requirements and customer test requests. - The company will follow up after the show on product specifications, quotations and delivery questions. - Visitors can review Wanpo’s English-language catalog in advance and contact Chen about the company’s planned display and product details. - Wanpo intends to use the Las Vegas show to inform responses to customer requests.

The bottom line: - Wanpo is turning FABTECH 2026 into a sales and technical qualification event, not just a product showcase.
