Plan Ahead for the International Hardware Fair

It’s time to start planning if you’re going to join tens of thousands of trade visitors at the International Hardware Fair to learn about companies worldwide and view and order products.

The event is slated for March 6-8 in Cologne, Germany, and is organized by Koelnmesse, the group that oversees the world-renowned garden show, spoga+gafa.

The International Hardware Fair is more than 50 years old and is hosted every other year. The 2014 show featured 2,783 exhibitors from 53 countries and attracted 44,000 trade visitors from around the globe. Attendees were able to order products from the tool, industrial supply, fixing and fastening systems, fittings and home improvement categories. Exhibitors were able to present their companies and offerings to the trade audience in the event’s Speakers Corner.
