JADCO LOOKS FORWARD TO AISTECH 2026 IN PITTSBURGH

May 4 to 6, 2026, Booth# 852

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

Some trade shows are important because of their size. Others matter because of where they are held. For JADCO, AISTech 2026 is both. This year, the iron and steel industry’s flagship technology event returns to Pittsburgh, bringing thousands of professionals, hundreds of exhibiting companies, and a strong international presence back to one of America’s most historic steel cities. AIST describes the event as the industry’s premier gathering, and its 2026 prospectus highlights an audience of more than 8,000 steel professionals, with 70 percent in upper management and attendees from more than 40 countries.

That makes this show especially meaningful for JADCO. With JADCO being based in Harmony, Pennsylvania, in the heart of the American steel industry, we are proud to demonstrate our quality in our own backyard. With AISTech returning to Pittsburgh for the first time in four years, this year’s event feels close to home in more ways than one. It places JADCO in front of the engineers, operators, plant leaders, and technical decision-makers who keep the steel industry moving, in a region where steel is more than a business category. It is part of the identity of the area itself.

AIST says the exposition is already sold out and will feature more than 600 steel companies across two floors, creating an unusually strong setting for face-to-face discussions about the technologies and materials shaping mill performance, maintenance strategy, and long-term competitiveness. For attendees, that means the chance to compare ideas in one place. For exhibitors, it means a concentrated audience of people looking for practical answers to real production and wear challenges.

That is where JADCO fits naturally into the conversation. JADCO’s wear solutions ar

JADCO’s place in that conversation is easy to understand. Steelmaking and metals processing environments demand materials that can withstand abrasion, impact, heat, and constant production pressure. In those settings, wear does not just shorten component life. It affects uptime, maintenance planning, and operating efficiency. JADCO’s application-focused approach, along with products such as QT-PLUS ^® and the CHROMEWELD™ family of products, is built around helping customers choose wear solutions that match the actual conditions their equipment faces every day. JADCO is listed at Booth 852 in the official AISTech exhibitor map and directory.

 

“Whenever AISTech comes back to Pittsburgh, it means something special to companies like JADCO. This is steel country, and we are proud to represent western Pennsylvania at a show that brings together the people and technologies driving the industry forward. For us, it is an opportunity to meet with steel producers on our home turf, talk through real wear challenges, and show how the right wear solution can improve reliability, maintenance performance, and long-term value.”

-Sam Anderson, CEO JADCO Manufacturing
