72 THE DISTRIBUTOR’S LINK INTERNATIONAL FASTENER EXPO TEL 323-817-2226 FAX 310-481-1909 EMAIL morgan.wilson@fastenershows.com WEB www.fastenershows.com BRINGING THE FASTENER INDUSTRY TOGETHER AT IFE 2020 The International Fastener Expo is the largest tradeshow for every type of fastener, machinery and tooling, and other industrial-related products in North America. Held annually in Las Vegas, Nevada, the expo is attended by thousands of participants from across the entire supply chain domestically and internationally, including master distributors, importers, independent sales representatives, manufacturers and more from 30+ countries. In 2019, over 650 vendors exhibited at the show to do business and network with key decision makers and buyers. Christian Reich, Vice President of Operations at Goebel Fastener Inc. said, “Our company exhibits at the IFE show to increase brand awareness and engage with industry contacts. It is a great show to generate leads, meet with customers, and demo new products.” Established in 1981, IFE, formerly the National Industrial Fastener and Mill Supply Expo, has been touted as the industry’s “must-attend” event. Attending companies include manufacturers, distributors & master distributors, and OEMs. VIP attendees at IFE are consistently included in Industrial Distribution’s Big 50 List and exhibitors are among the top international and domestic manufacturers, material suppliers, tooling and machinery providers and ancillary services. “Wurth Industry North America finds great value in attending IFE. To us, the show is a platform that brings together different suppliers from across the globe into one place enabling us to meet face to face with our partners for a few days of strategy meetings and networking,” said Sarah McDaniel, Supplier Account Manager at Wurth Industry North America. SHOW EVENT ARTICLE Each year, IFE honors professionals who have made substantial contributions to the industry throughout their illustrious careers. In 2019, Edward McIlhon of Assembled Products and Marty Nolan of R.L. English were inducted into the Fastener Hall of Fame. IFE also recognizes dedicated and talented individuals under 40 years of age who are on their way to becoming future industry leaders. In 2019, Baron Wayne Yarborough of Spring Bolt & Nut Manufacturing won the 2019 Young Fastener Professional of the Year Award. Attendees at IFE can expect to stay informed on everything happening in import and export law, trade regulations, and so on through conference sessions at the show – all in an environment that places the health & safety of IFE’s customers and staff as its top priority. IFE, which is owned by Emerald, will be implementing the Company’s Preparedness, Prevention and Response Plan, which outlines the specific protocols being implemented both during the event-planning phase and onsite at IFE. “This year, more than ever, an event such as IFE is crucial in connecting professionals in the industry, allowing buyers to connect with existing suppliers and develop new relationships too,” said Morgan Wilson, Show Manager, International Fastener Expo, adding, “Our team is working hard to ensure an environment that is safe for all those in attendance and has put together a plan detailing on-site protocols.” IFE 2020 will continue to take place as scheduled on September 28-30 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, Halls C & D, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
