The latest edition of Fastener Fair Stuttgart, the world’ No.1 fastener exhibition, has opened in the city of Stuttgart, Germany on Mar. 28th, 2017, which is the 7th since it was first launched in 2005. This edition, which will run until Mar. 30th, is showcasing a variety of fastener and fixing products.

The show covers only 3 halls this year (at Messe Stuttgart, Germany in Halls 1, 3 and 5), which is less than that of last year.

However, 895 exhibitors from more than 40 countries are taking part in this edition of the fair while the number of exhibitors in the last show in 2015 was 832. Based on the official statistics, the exhibitor numbers are increasing year by year, from 435 in 2007 to 901 in 2017. Many Chinese companies even could not get a booth because the organizer has cut several halls this year. 143 companies from mainland China exhibited their products at the show, such as Jiangsu Washen, Brother Holdings Group, BSC CORPORATION, Haiyan Jinniu Fasteners, Handan Haosheng Fastener, Jiangsu Yagu Standard, Jiaxing Port Lixin, Ningbo ABC Fasteners, Ningbo Fastener Factory, Shanghai Fast-Fix, Shanghai Rivet, Yuyao Xintai and other famous companies.

The official data shows that the number of visitors has increased to 11,060 in 2015. We believe that the number of this year could be a new record.

The Development of Visitor Numbers

Beyond buying and selling, a total of 12 different meetings and forums are being held at this edition of the event.

They're going to focus on latest developments in cold forming technologies, the outlook for European fastener importers and distributors during 2017, latest developments in EU trade defense policy, corrosion protection in the automotive market and other hot topics.

ChinaFastener.com has led 36 leaders of Chinese fastener companies to the exhibition for a business visit. The 21^st issue of ChinaFastener Magazine has attracted so many visitors.

Based on the official data, the import output value of fastener products of Germany on the first half year of 2016 was USD 1,802,104,035, and the export output value was USD 2,786,051,684. We could see that Germany was a big market. All leaders of our group said that they were so impressed by the technology and products at the exhibition, and they would come to the exhibition again in 2019.
