Global Fastener News

The 9th Fastener Fair Global drew 11,000 attendees from 83 countries, trade show organizers announced.

The three-day March 2023 trade show had 1,000 exhibiting companies from 46 countries.  The 250,000 sq ft of exhibit space was 1,000 more than the 2019 Fastener Fair Stuttgart.

Subsequently the biennial trade show was renamed Fastener Fair Global.

After a four-year absence due to Covid, the world’s largest fastener trade show “opened the doors to its 9th edition, reasserting its position in the industry as the go-to event for the manufacturing and industrial sector,” said event manager Stephanie Cerri.

“Both the show size and strong participation in Fastener Fair Global 2023 testify to the importance of the event as a milestone for the fastener and fixing sector internationally and serves as an economic indicator of the growth of this industry.”

Host country Germany had the highest number of visitors, but 72% of all visitors came from abroad. Italy and the United Kingdom were second and third, followed by Poland, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain, the Czech Republic, Austria and Belgium. Taiwan and China topped attendance from Asian countries.
