The National Industrial Fastener & Mill Supply Expo held last week at the Sands Expo & Congress Center in Las Vegas, Nevada enjoyed a healthy increase in size and attendance, reports Susan A. Hurley, General Manager.

The popular trade show, hailed as “North America’s Largest”, lived up to its billing with nearly 800 booths and over 600 companies from 18 countries around the world participating, an increase of 3% over last year’s event.

“An Expo is only as good as its attendance and value, and we generated both. We had a total of 4,577 people at the Expo from throughout the USA and 37 foreign countries. This is a nearly 8% gain from last year. Our exhibitors reported brisk business and were delighted with the 2,103 distributors, importers, manufacturer’s reps, independents sales reps and other buyers who filled the aisles, an increase of almost 9% over 2012”, reports Ms. Hurley.

The 2014 Expo is scheduled for October 22-24 at the Sands Expo & Congress Center, Las Vegas, Nevada.
