Fastener Fair Stuttgart – showtastic 24 January 2019

Fastener Fair Stuttgart 2019, the world’s leading exhibition for the fastener and fixing industry, will take place from 19th – 21st March 2019 in halls 1, 3 and 5 at the Stuttgart Exhibition Grounds in Germany and will be bigger than ever.

Due to a further expansion of the exhibition space this year, offering a total of 22,000m2 in total, the exhibition has already exceeded the total stand space of the previous event in 2017.

Around 900 companies from 40 countries will be present, with major European exhibitor countries including Germany, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and France. Asian exhibitors mainly come from Turkey, China, India and Taiwan.

“The fastener and fixing industry is expecting a positive economic development in the upcoming years. Based on evolving global industry sectors like e-mobility, the aerospace and construction industries, a growing demand for fasteners and fixings is currently anticipated,” says Liljana Goszdziewski, exhibition director of Fastener Fair Stuttgart, on behalf of the organisers Mack Brooks Exhibitions. “The market has developed dynamically over the last couple of years, with new technologies and fields of application, as well as the use of various new materials. In addition, hybrid fasteners have been well established in the industry. Therefore, fasteners and fixings are more frequently applied as flexible and highly functional solutions that are used in lightweight engineering as well as various other areas.”

The Fastener Fair Stuttgart exhibition profile covers all areas of the fastener and fixing industry: Industrial fasteners and fixings, construction fixings, assembly and installation systems as well as fastener manufacturing technology. The show targets distributors, suppliers, engineers and other industry professionals and is therefore the meeting place for the whole industry.

Special area for bonding and adhesive technologies
For the first time, as part of Fastener Fair Stuttgart, there will be a special area for bonding and adhesive technologies, which will focus on the growing importance in modern manufacturing. Adhesives provide an excellent addition to traditional fasteners and, thus, have become a vital choice in lightweight construction, for example in the automotive and electronics industries.

Due to their unique characteristics, they offer a cost-effective solution for a range of challenges throughout a variety of industry sectors. Bonding and adhesive technologies allow the material to retain its properties, enable the use of thinner and lighter materials and are perfectly suited for composite systems.

New visitor brochure available
The new Fastener Fair Stuttgart visitor brochure is now available. It contains important information about the show, including travel and accommodation, ticket prices and services for visitors. The brochure can be requested via the show website and is available in English, German and Italian.

The show opens on Tuesday 19th March and Wednesday 20th March 2019 from 9:00 to 18:00 and on Thursday 21st March 2019 from 9:00 to 15:00. Entrance tickets will be available from January 2019 via the exhibition website and cost €32 via the online ticket shop and €45 on-site during the show. The exhibition grounds in Stuttgart are located directly next to the airport and are easily accessible by car and public transport as well.
