As one of Asia`s most influential trade fairs for hardware-related industries, Taiwan Hardware Show (THS) is scheduled to celebrate its 8th anniversary Oct. 23-25, 2008, in TWTC (Taipei World Trade Center) Hall 1, according to Kaigo Co., Ltd., the show organizer. Kaigo noted that THS this year has been officially renamed from Taipei Int`l Hardware & DIY Show (THDIY) to allow more comprehensive displays of hand tools, fasteners and related hardware products. The show will be held in tandem with the first Home & Lifestyle Fair (HLS), a brand-new fair dedicated to products for home decoration and improvements. Last year, THDIY attracted 182 exhibitors from 9 countries and a total of 10,035 professional buyers from 49 countries of the world. Worth mentioning was that with years of concerted efforts by the Taiwanese makers, the number of European attendees in the show have significantly increased year by year to account for the second-largest portion of 31% of the total in 2007, according to the show management. Kaigo noted that Taiwan production and exports of fasteners both hit historical highs of NT$107.6 billion and NT$94.7 billion last year, showing its growing influence in the global fastener production and trade sector. In the meantime, Taiwan`s high-profile DIY (do it yourself) tools have been increasingly popular with Europe in recent years, offsetting declines in exports to the languishing U.S. market.
