The "80 years of independence - freedom - happiness" exhibition, a key event commemorating the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day (2/9), ran from 28/8 to 5/9 at the Vietnam Exhibition Fair Center (Dong Anh, Hanoi). The event was the largest of its kind to date, featuring over 230 booths from 34 provinces, 28 ministries, over 100 private enterprises, and 12 state-owned enterprises.
ATAD's 192 m2 booth, located in the "national entrepreneurship" section, showcased images and technological solutions from hundreds of domestic and international projects.

Visitors could view models of iconic projects undertaken by the company, including Long Thanh International Airport (where ATAD constructed the entire main roof steel structure). Many were surprised to see the original steel structure of the 126 steel flowers, weighing 5.8 tons with a 3-ton base and standing 4.3 m tall, at the exhibition. The heaviest component weighed 10.5 tons and stood 6.5 m tall.
The company displayed H-grade mockups, manufactured according to Japanese JASS 6 production standards. H-grade (High grade) is used for key projects subject to dynamic loads, repetitive loads, or earthquakes, requiring high-quality welding. Also on display was a two-story steel frame, a typical design for projects over 20 stories, with a column production line imported from Italy.

In the outdoor exhibition area, ATAD presented a model of the modular bridge built in Reunion, France. The mesh bridge, over 100 m long and with a total weight of 2,500 tons of steel, can withstand heavy trucks. It was manufactured and assembled at the ATAD Dong Nai factory before being exported to France.
Visitors could also learn about the automatic welding robot, Kura, known for its high productivity, weld control, and cost-effectiveness. The robot provided live welding demonstrations at the exhibition.
