From 22nd – 24th October, the 20th international FastTec exhibition of fastening products took place at the Crocus Expo IEC in Moscow, Russia, which was attended by 1,025 professionals across the fastener industry.
Visitors included heads of procurement and supply departments from industrial enterprises and construction companies, wholesale buyers of fastening products, representatives of companies specialising in installation work, as well as sole proprietors.
More than 40 manufacturers and suppliers from Russia, Belarus and China showcased a wide range of fastening products, including construction and industrial fasteners, plumbing and heating fasteners, electrical wiring and installation fasteners, plastic fasteners, automotive fasteners, and furniture fasteners and hardware, as well as consumables.
“There were a lot of visitors at the show, with people approaching and asking questions. We also used the show as a chance to look for new partners which was successful – having signed an agreement with a company ready to test our products,” commented Pavel Bordovsky, production manager at exhibiting company Hort Tade – a supplier of industrial fittings, that presented new products at the show, including fittings for built-in sliding door handles, lock handles for fire resistant cabinets, clamping locks and latches, as well as conveyor accessories.
Russian company Strike also presented its next generation power clamp with an increased clamping force. Alexander Mosalov, CEO, highlighted: “This year at FastTec there were many engineers and designers from the military industrial complex. Our product was well received because it performs excellently in aggressive environments and so we expect to attract significantly more potential clients this year.”
The next FastTec exhibition will take place from 21st – 23rd October 2025 at Crocus Expo IEC.
