Countdown to Stuttgart: Don Quichotte 20 September 2024
Fastener Fair Global is just over six months away and exhibitors are already looking forward to the leading trade fair and how they can optimise their presence. With that in mind, we invited a selection of companies to give an insight on why they think Fastener Fair Global 2025 will be one of the best shows yet.

For us Fastener Fair Global is the main event for the fastener sector. We always see a lot of familiar faces, as well as meeting new people and companies. During the show you get a good look and feel for what is happening in the market and in which direction it is heading.

We have a history of exhibiting at Fastener Fair Global and we were even present at the very first Stuttgart show, which took place at the old exhibition grounds – close to the city centre. For the 2025 edition visitors to the Don Quichotte stand can expect a warm welcome, along with our famous Dutch hospitality. Of course, our main fixings and fasteners will be on display and our international sales team will be there to answer questions or enquiries – along with an abundance of good coffee and typical Dutch snacks.

As a business we are known for our product innovations and our strategy has more or less shifted to products for electrical installation, which might not be the first products that come to your mind when visiting this particular show, but are more and more distributed by the same type of customers as the ones who are already selling fasteners. These products will still be on display at the show as there are usually customers visiting who are interested in these types of products, alongside the standard fixings and fasteners. It also helps that the Eltefa, a German fair for the electrical sector, is running at the same time, on the same grounds as the Fastener Fair.

During the show we will also talk to visitors about the investments we have made in our production efficiency, including packaging machines, as well as investments in logistics and more sustainable production and packaging – resulting in less energy waste, energy regeneration, as well as more green energy – with a goal to significantly decrease our carbon footprint every year.

Whilst 2024 started slowly, it does seem to be picking up pace and we believe by the end of the year we will be on par with 2023. However, we expect the pace that is building to continue to pick up through the beginning of 2025, which means the market should be in an interesting position come March 2025 and the Fastener Fair Global show.
