Fastener Fair Italy continues to grow 20 July 2016

By early June the number of exhibitors planning to take part in this year’s Fastener Fair Italy show in Milan had grown to nearly 170. The exhibition, which takes place at the MiCo – Milano Congressi from 28th – 29th September 2016, will bring together many of the best known producers and distributors of fasteners – as well as leading specialists in fastener manufacturing technology.

Italy’s fastener sector continues to respond enthusiastically to the show, accounting for three-quarters of firms that have so far confirmed their participation. Joining them will be companies from 12 other countries including France, Germany, Spain, Turkey, the UK and the USA.

The high-level of interest in this exhibition – the first Fastener Fair event in Italy – reflects the country’s position as Europe’s second largest manufacturing economy after Germany. It also underlines Italy’s role as a major exporter of fastener products.
As a result, the exhibition is expected to attract managers, engineers and buyers from key industrial sectors including automotive manufacturing, aerospace, energy generation and distribution, marine industries and engineering. Exhibitors will also be targeting important consumer-oriented industries such as white goods manufacturing and furniture making, plus the important construction fixings market. Distributors and resellers of fasteners and fixings will represent another significant portion of visitors to the show – establishing vital trading links between manufacturers and end users.
For industry professionals who pre-register to attend Fastener Fair Italy, entry to the exhibition is free of charge. Pre-registration via the show website will remain open until Tuesday 27th September. An entry fee of €30 will be payable by visitors who register on arrival at the venue.
