Bigger and better NIFMSE
04 October 2016
The National Industrial Fastener & Mill Supply Expo (NIFMSE), which will take place from 25th – 27th October 2016, is looking to be the biggest show yet. With some new added features for a better show experience for both buyers and suppliers.
Taking place at the Sands Expo and Convention Center in Las Vegas, USA, the show will feature more than 700 top industry suppliers, occupying more than 95,500 net square feet (approximately 8,900m2). Compared to last year, this is a 17% spike in contracted suppliers and a 21% increase in exhibitor floor coverage.
With more product categories than ever, NIFMSE will boast a slew of new additions to the show floor, particularly in the Machinery & Tooling area – which has seen a steady growth since 2011. This area will offer stock from 50 vendors in 9,800 square feet. Among the new and noteworthy vendors in this area are Murata Machinery Ltd, a leader in machine tool technology, automated material handling systems and clean room automation; LinearGS, providing services such as automation, inspection and system integration solutions; and Tsugami/REM Sales LLC, offering state of the art CNC machine tools and applications. Exhibiting manufacturers, suppliers, and attendees are encouraged to attend the welcome reception in this area at 11:00 on Thursday 27th October.
Educational seminars at NIFMSE
For those interested in educational seminars, NIFMSE has expanded its educational track to include a robust agenda with a full day conference on Tuesday 25th October, as well as free 30 minute sessions on the show floor on day two and three.
Sample free sessions include: ‘Creating change for higher performance’, ‘Sustaining and growing business relationships’ and ‘Fastener technical resources review’.
“Whether your business is in fasteners, technology, machinery, tooling, or other related industry products, the educational track offers many diverse topics to help your business grow and succeed,” mentions NIFMSE. “Learn about trends, maximising sales, sustaining growth, selling, inspections, and much more!

The time-honoured ‘Hall of Fame’ award ceremony and the first ever ‘Young Fastener Professional’ award ceremony will be held on the show floor (sessions’ area) on Wednesday 26th October at 14:30.
NIFMSE will also welcome buyers and vendors to the annual and ever so anticipated Welcome Reception, hosted at the popular Las Vegas Pool & Cabanas at Treasure Island, to mix and mingle with fellow associates over some cocktails on Wednesday 26th October. Doors open at 18:00.
With so much to see, do and experience at the show, NIFMSE will also have a mobile App for buyers and suppliers to download to their mobile devices to look up suppliers and products, and to keep track of their daily schedule and appointments.
