Fastener Fair Italy, the leading trade event in Italy for the fastener and fixing industry, has announced new dates for its 5th edition. The show will take place on 24th – 25th June 2026 at CityLife – Allianz MiCo in Milan, instead of the previously scheduled 6th – 7th October.
The decision responds to strong demand from international exhibitors and key industry stakeholders, aiming to align the show with a more favourable trade fair calendar for the European market. Moving the event to the first half of the year is a strategic choice to facilitate logistics planning, improve the visitor experience, and create new business opportunities ahead of the summer break.
This decision was also supported by the positive and growing trend of previous editions. The most recent event in 2024 hosted over 200 exhibitors from 19 countries and attracted more than 2,400 industry specific visitors from across Europe. The event featured intense networking activity and product showcases, and received extremely positive feedback from participating companies, who reaffirmed its importance as a key platform for the fastener and fixing industry.
“The success of the last edition and the increasing interest from the market led us to bring forward the dates of the next edition, with the aim of making the event even more strategic and commercially effective,” said Stephanie Cerri, event director at RX. “The first half of the year slot allows us to tap into an ideal window to promote long-term business relationships and the launch of new products. Thanks to a targeted networking programme, visitors will be able to explore the most innovative solutions in the industry and gain valuable insight into the latest technologies presented by the sector’s leading players.”
The fastener market plays a vital role across a wide range of industries – including automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, and construction – and continues to grow in Italy. This is driven in part by the internationalisation of markets, which presents significant opportunities for commercial expansion throughout the sector.
The upcoming edition of Fastener Fair Italy will introduce a range of new features designed to deliver an even more complete and forward-looking industry experience. These include new themed areas dedicated to innovation, sustainability, and hand tools, an expanded showcase for precision turned parts manufacturers, as well as economic support initiatives for businesses.
The exhibition also aims to increase international participation, attract new exhibitors from key markets, and enhance visitor quality, with a strong focus on distributors, buyers, and technical decision-makers. A rich programme of networking opportunities, educational content, and technical sessions will further enhance the on-site experience.
