The International Fastener Expo will be celebrating the 41st edition of the most prestigious of all fastener industry events October 17-19th, 2022. Attendees from throughout the world will attend the International Fastener Expo to network and find new products and suppliers. An IFE survey found that 77% of attendees agree that the International Fastener Expo is a “must attend” event. Why? Because the International Fastener Expo is the most comprehensive B2B trade show that draws together large and small distributors, master distributors, and independent sales reps with fastener manufacturers, tooling and machinery manufacturers from around the world. It is the largest industrial fastener and specialty fastener tooling show in North America where attendees and suppliers connect to network, build new relationships, nurture current relationships, and ultimately do business. All in one easy place; all within three days.
Are you ready to participate in the largest fastener industry event in No. America? Whether you’re a seasoned IFE exhibitor, attendee, new distributor looking for product lines, new exhibitor looking to develop relationships, or a B2B buyer looking for the latest in fastening products or a new distributor to help with your supply chain and manufacturing needs, you won’t want to miss the opportunity to stay in-the-know about all the exclusive expo offers, events and announcements.
