Hannover Fairs USA (HFUSA), Deutsche Messe’s subsidiary, has formed a partnership with the owners of Fabtech including SME, FMA, AWS, PMA and CCAI to colocate trade shows Industrial Automation North America and Motion, Drive & Automation North America (MDA North America).

The events will take place at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois, from November 6-9. Industrial Automation North America will serve factory, process, and building automation technologies while MDA North America is focused on power transmission, motion control and fluid technology.
