In Budapest exhibitors from around the globe will present fastener specialists and buyers with the entire range of fastening technologies for a wide range of industries including the automotive, engineering and construction sectors.
"Right from the start the industry has shown a lively interest in Fastener Fair - Budapest, confirmed by the strong level of stand reservations received so far,” explained show director Jamie Mitchell. "We are also benefiting from the success of the first Fastener Fair in Budapest in 2008, when 171 exhibitors from 26 countries did business with some 1,500 specialist visitors. Many of these exhibitors have already rebooked for 2010, and we have received numerous enquiries from companies keen to break into the markets of south-eastern Europe. Economic forecasts for the region are positive as Hungary and neighbouring countries continue to benefit from EU investment and, once again, prove attractive to manufacturing and assembly businesses looking to hold down costs but remain close to prime European markets.”
Exhibitors will present a wide range of industrial fasteners, construction fixings, application and installation systems, together with the latest alternative connecting technologies. As well as finished products encompassing a diverse range of threaded fasteners, riveting and clinching systems, anchors and fixings, many exhibitors will be able to respond to special design requirements and provide extensive options to ensure a cost effective and reliable fastener supply to all types of users. Resellers to the DIY and hardware markets will also find innovative products and exciting packaging options to generate high visibility and impulse purchases from their shelves.
The modern fastener industry is a global one and Budapest will see the truly international ambience that has become the hallmark of the Fastener Fair.
Local and pan-European suppliers able to provide intensive service options and rapid response will be joined by top quality and specialist European manufacturers, plus many high volume fastener manufacturers from the Far East.
Visitors to the Fastener Fair - Budapest will come from all fields - the automotive, furniture and white goods industries, the construction sector and the retail trade. Supply chain specialists from high volume assembly operations can be expected to mingle with countless small and medium-sized businesses located in Hungary, Austria, the Czech Republic, Romania and Bulgaria, for whom Budapest is a natural and splendidly attractive meeting place. Explaining the strategy of the exhibition organisers, Jamie Mitchell said: "In Budapest we reach company directors, buyers and technical experts who would not necessarily visit shows held further away." This high level of visitor expertise was confirmed at the previous show in 2008, when two-thirds of those responding to a questionnaire classed themselves as decision makers responsible for procurement.
The SYMA Event Centre, the venue for the Fastener Fair - Budapest, is located centrally and is easy to reach via public transport or by car. The Stadionok metro station is right next to the modern exhibition hall, with several good hotels nearby.
Companies wishing to exhibit at the Fastener Fair - Budapest should contact the organisers' office without delay to reserve a suitable stand. Reasonably-priced shell scheme stands make participation at the show particularly easy, reducing preparation to a minimum. The Monday and Tuesday two-day format, combined with Budapest’s unparalleled range of flight links, also minimises time away from the office, making the Fastener Fair as always the most cost- and time-effective industry show. Visitor advertising for the show is already under way and exhibitors can only be included in this campaign if they make a reservation in good time.
