TROY, Ohio. January 25, 2011 — Hobart Brothers plans to provide live demonstrations of its filler metals at CONEXPO/CON-AGG 2011 in Las Vegas, March 22 to 26. The company will share Booth G-254 with Miller Electric Mfg. Co., as well as Bernard and Tregaskiss.

Hobart Brothers will showcase and demonstrate stick electrodes and tubular wires designed for structural and construction equipment applications, and will also have company experts available throughout the show to answer questions and provide recommendations for filler metal solutions.

Of special interest to the construction industry will be the display and demonstration of Hobart Brothers’ hard surfacing filler metals. Available under the company’s popular McKay® brand, these products are well-known for their quality, performance and durability. In addition to providing weld deposits that meet or exceed manufacturers’ specifications for impact or abrasion resistance, Hobart Brothers hard surfacing filler metals help companies extend the life of their parts and equipment and reduce unnecessary downtime for repairs.

Aluminum filler metals from Maxal International, Inc. will also be available for demonstration. This premier provider of aluminum filler metals is among the latest acquisitions by Hobart Brothers parent company, Illinois Tool Works, and will be closely aligned with the company in an effort to provide customers with the top aluminum products in the industry.
