Visitors in Long Lines Denoting a Livened Market
Fastener Fair USA Spurs New Business Opportunities in Cleveland
Just before the opening hour at 10 a.m., Fastener World correspondent had seen hordes of visitors getting in long lines to enter Huntington Convention Center. Fastener Fair USA is the only exhibition in the U.S. dedicated to the full supply chain – distributors, mechanical and design engineers, purchasers, wholesalers and OEMs. Local American suppliers and buyers had prepared themselves for this show to make deals, place orders and grasp the rebound of market demand close to the end of the year. The U.S. is bound to further loosen up the restrictions on foreign travelers into the country. The U.S. is prepared and are you ready to take on this opportunity?
The show was a three-day event, including full-day pre-show conferences on November 8 and full-day exhibition on November 9 and 10. A significant feature of this show was the agreement made between the show organizer and International Fastener Machinery & Suppliers’ Association to combine Fastener Fair USA with International Fastener Manufacturing Exhibition. From fastener to automotive, aerospace, construction to furniture, buyers could find the purchasing sources they needed at Fastener Fair USA with the synergy of scale expansion.
The number of exhibitors reached around 120 this year (mostly from the east coast of the U.S.). 80% of the exhibitors were manufacturers, followed by distributors. Fastener World correspondent interviewed the exhibitors onsite. In her finding, this year still marks high fastener demand from OEMs and distributors. The correspondent handing out Fastener World publications at the show felt the strength of buyers’ demand. There were many visitors who expressed their interests in Fastener World publications, and they hoped to promote their products through the publications and the online platform. At the current stage where the predictability of the future has increased, the U.S. suppliers need to reach out to more buyers. After an industrial reshuffle, buyers have to be more active in evaluating existing suppliers and looking for new supply sources. The U.S. business opportunity from the stage is just for you to grasp on.
The next edition of the show will be held at TCF Center. Stay with us for more U.S. fastener market update and the trend in future exhibitions.
