Fastener Fair India set to be a growing success
After its initial great success in April 2011, Fastener Fair India 2013 will open its doors again at the Bombay Exhibition Centre in Mumbai, India from 17 – 18 April 2013.
Fastener Fair India is part of the Fastener Fair series of trade exhibitions targeting the fastener and fixings industry in selected markets, with Fastener Fair Stuttgart in Germany being the international flagship event. The exhibition covers a wide product range of industrial fasteners and fixings, assembly and installation systems, storage and logistics services, fastener manufacturing technology and construction fixings. Building on a successful first edition and benefiting from the strong market growth in key sectors such as automotive and construction, Fastener Fair India 2013 provides excellent business and networking opportunities to all industry professionals, including distributors, suppliers and engineers.
Four months ahead of the exhibition, more than 80 companies have already booked as much as 1,200m² of net exhibition space; this is more than the total exhibition space of the previous show. Alongside India and other Asian exhibitor countries, such as Taiwan and China, a large number of German and Italian companies will, once again, exhibit at India’s dedicated exhibition for the Fastener and Fixings Industry.
Not only is Fastener Fair India rapidly growing in size, it has also proven to be a high quality event which was confirmed by the exhibition survey carried out after the previous event. The survey revealed that 95% of exhibitors reported positive business enquiries at their stands and also achieved their overall aims. Furthermore, the show was given excellent marks for the quality of trade visitors. Both visitors and exhibitors praised the show as a highly professional and worthwhile industry event, ensuring positive prospects for the future.
Major fastener markets in India include automotive, rail, road, telecoms, energy, domestic appliances, construction and petrochemicals. In addition to cars and other modes of personal transport, on a consumer level there is still considerable scope for growth in domestic appliances, home electronics and air conditioning units. India’s rapidly increasing middle class ensures continuous domestic growth and rising national spending power. By 2025 middle class households are expected to grow to 550 million. India is set to be one of the fastest growing of the major economies, expected to expand its share of global economic output from 2% to 12% by 2050.
Fastener Fair India 2013 will again be co-located with BLECH India, Exhibition for Sheet Metal Working. The third edition of this highly successful trade fair will, once again, present machines, tools and systems for the entire sheet metal manufacturing process, including metal forming and bending solutions, stamping, pressing, automation, flexible manufacturing systems, metal supply, cutting, punching, joining/welding, tooling, laser technology as well as finishing and coating.For companies interested in exhibiting at Fastener Fair India 2013, an exhibitor brochure is available from the organisers, Mack Brooks Exhibitions. The brochure includes important information on stand reservation and stand packages, the venue and the Indian fastener and fixings market.
