Countdown to Stuttgart: Fastbolt 17 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. 

Fastener Fair Global is the well established highlight of the global fastener exhibition calendar. It attracts visitors from all over the world and therefore it is only natural that Fastbolt was one of the first exhibitors at the initial show back in 2005. 

Due to our exclusive focus on selling our range of high-quality fasteners to distributors only, Fastener Fair Global gives us the opportunity to meet a high percentage of our existing international customer base. At the same time, we have always been able to establish lots of new relationships through the exhibition. 

While the vast majority of our business is nowadays digitalised, the exhibition still plays an important role in offering a physical meeting point. For us the three days in Stuttgart are always extremely busy as we also – besides our existing and potential customers – meet a good number of our worldwide suppliers on our booth. 

In current times of complex market situations, and ongoing regulatory changes, it is absolutely essential to take every opportunity to closely communicate with suppliers on the one hand and customers on the other hand. Stuttgart is an ideal venue to catch up on open topics and to initiate new opportunities for the future.

During next year’s show, we will also take the opportunity to update visitors about the building extension of our German central warehouse, as well as the planned introduction of an automated small parts warehouse. Through this new increased stock capacity, we are also planning some very exciting stock range extensions. At the same time, we will also highlight the continued investment into systems and equipment to further improve the efficiency, and stability, of our quality management, trading processes and logistics.

Fastener Fair Global is still some months away, but we are definitely looking forward to presenting our company, product range and stock capacity developments to our trading partners worldwide. The show will also be a good opportunity to discuss changes within the market. Currently we are seeing lots of things developing and the import trade of standard fasteners is going through some important changes. This creates risks and opportunities at the same time for our business. We hope that the overall economic development in Europe, and the world, will improve by Stuttgart in March 2025 – so that our industry can go through this time of changes with solid demand and a positive outlook for the future.
