The third edition of Fastener Fair Italy 2022, the biennial international event dedicated to fastener and fixing products, systems and services, has ended at Fiera Milano City with 2,384 trade visitors from 48 countries and 205 exhibitors from 18 countries, with a solid representation of companies from Italy, China, Germany and Turkey.
The visitor mix at the show reflected the diversity of markets in which the fastener and fixing industry operates. Visitors at the show came from a variety of sectors, including metal products (29%), distribution (28%), automotive (22%), construction (18%) and mechanical engineering (13%). The top visiting countries were Italy, Germany, Turkey, the UK, France and Spain.
The support obtained from the industrial sector, in addition to the significant presence of visitors and exhibitors, highlighted the importance of the show as a meeting hub for national and international professionals in one of the leading European industrial economies. As a result, the exhibition again established its role as a platform to present technologies and innovations, launch new products, promote corporate marketing activities, and meet customers, suppliers and business partners.
Organised by Mack-Brooks Exhibitions – Part of RX in collaboration with partners, a total of 10 conference sessions and exhibitor presentations were an essential part of this edition. They contributed to intensifying the visitor experience with relevant discussions for the entire industrial supply chain.
"We can safely say that Fastener Fair Italy has been a success. It was the first major post pandemic face-to-face event dedicated to the fastener and fixing sector in Italy. There's nothing better than meeting in person to build lasting relationships, connect with industry peers and discover the latest innovations. The show allowed the entire sector to come together through relevant meetings rich in topical and fundamentally essential content. The sector is buoyant, and our show is the proof of this," comments Liljana Goszdziewski, portfolio director for the European Fastener Fairs.
