14 THE DISTRIBUTOR’S LINK FASTENER FAIR USA Mack Brooks Exhibitions Inc, 641 W. Lake Street, Suite 405, Chicago IL 60661 TEL 1-866-899-4728 EMAIL fastenerfairusa@mackbrooks.com WEB www.fastenerfair.com/usa MACK BROOKS EXHIBITIONS GROUP TO LAUNCH FASTENER FAIR USA IN CLEVELAND FOR 2018 Excitement is building for Fastener Fair USA 2018, America’s Exhibition for the Fastener and Fixing Industry. The inaugural show will take place April 11-12, 2018 at the Huntington Convention Center in Cleveland, OH. The only fastener and fixing event in the USA for the full supply chain, Fastener Fair USA is the premier event bringing together manufacturers, distributors, suppliers and end users in the region’s only dedicated fastener, fixing, and joining technology exhibition. The show offers a first-hand look at the latest solutions and technology available in the marketplace, as well as topnotch educational programs developed and delivered by industry experts. Meeting Market Demand The Fastener Fair name is recognized around the world as the leading exhibition in industrial fastener and fixing technology, and has built a strong following with exhibitors and attendees alike. Mack Brooks Exhibitions owns and organizes eight Fastener Fairs globally as well as the well-respected Fastener + Fixing magazine. When looking at introducing Fastener Fair to the U.S. market, Mack Brooks focused on two main objectives – meeting the needs of a growing market place and providing a platform for the entire fastener supply chain. The U.S. market for industrial fasteners continues to be strong even as the surge in demand slows following the recovery-fueled boom from 2010-2015, according to a study on Industrial Fasteners by The Freedonia Group, published in May 2016. SHOW EVENT ARTICLE Overall, forecasts for GDP growth remain steady through 2020, and industrial manufacturing within the U.S. continues to be strong. According to that same study, the U.S. market for industrial fasteners is expected to increase 2.6 percent per year to .2 billion in 2020. Demand for fasteners is expected to be higher in the construction and aerospace markets. U.S. manufacturers therefore have a need to discover the latest in fastener, fixing and joining solutions for their product design initiatives. Fastener Fair is the right platform for these manufacturers to find the technology they are looking for. The exhibition provides a sales, marketing and networking opportunity for the full fastener supply chain – including OEMs, distributors, wholesalers, suppliers, design engineers and purchasers. Fastener Fair is a model that is new to the U.S. market, but one that has been successful for Mack Brooks around the world for many years. CONTINUED ON PAGE 100
