Fastener Fair Italy opened its doors this morning and once again brought together the fastener and fixing industry, with both exhibitors and visitors reporting a positive start to the show.

Due to the challenges of Covid-19, and the subsequent lockdowns, it has been four years since the last Fastener Fair show in Europe. With that in mind, exhibitors were cautious about visitors numbers prior to the show opening.However, within minutes of the doors opening both stands and aisles were full of visitors who were looking to discover the latest developments within the fastener and fixing industry.

Taking place at Fiera Milano City, Fastener Fair Italy has brought together producers, wholesalers, resellers, distributors, as well as companies specialising in fastener manufacturing equipment and materials. Covering nearly 4,000m², the show includes 208 exhibitors from 18 countries - with strong exhibitor participation from Italy, Germany, Turkey and China.

On display at the show are products and services from a diverse range of industries, such as industrial fasteners and fixings, construction fixings, fastener manufacturing technology, as well as communication and services – with several stands giving product demonstrations.

Fastener Fair Italy will also include 10 conference sessions and presentations, which are to be held throughout the two days. The first morning saw Barbara Sorgato, secretary general of the European Consortium of Anchor Producers, talk about the revision of the Construction Products Regulation, based on the European Commissions proposal presented in March 2022.

A full report from the show will be published in the January edition of Fastener + Fixing Magazine.
