The team plans to pull out all the stops to impress spectators just as much as they did during their first Fabtech experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Watson recalls, \u201cTwo years after the website launched, I was featured in the <em>American Welding Magazine<\/em> as an emerging eCommerce company and invited to the 1998 Fabtech show in Chicago. Our booth looked unlike anything there, and people were lined up to see it. But there was no Internet to show the website, so we ran it off of a CD. People were standing around my computer just clicking through each page. It was a pretty cool experience.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"449\" height=\"317\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/joewelder\/wp-content\/new_ups\/Capture1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8264\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/joewelder\/wp-content\/new_ups\/Capture1.jpg 449w, https:\/\/blog.arc-zone.com\/joewelder\/wp-content\/new_ups\/Capture1-300x212.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 449px) 100vw, 449px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When Arc-Zone makes its return to Fabtech as the most trusted online welding supplier, it will present an array of high quality tools and accessories designed to make life easier for the everyday welder. Not only will attendees enjoy a hands-on experience with the products, they can enter to win cool prizes and meet-and-greet the Pro Partners, plus Jimmy McKnight, the voice of the Arc Junkies Podcast, is scheduled to host a show in the booth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information on Arc-Zone and its products, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.arc-zone.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">www.arc-zone.com<\/a>, call (760) 931-1500 or email sales@arc-zone.com. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arc-Zone is making its triumphant return to Fabtech Expo, the most prestigious metal working tradeshow in Chicago, IL<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":8268,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[16,113,30,38],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8261","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arc-zonecom","category-welding-events","category-memory-lane","category-welding-industry-news","entry","fw-tab-6 fw-tabr-4"],"aioseo_notices":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
