Hardware and DIY fair in Brazil

Bricolage 2006 will be staged at the Transamérica Expo Center in Sao Paulo from 25 to 27 July. Here 200 exhibitors both national and international will present their products and novelties in the field of hardware and DIY. The expectation is that 40 000 visitors from Brazil, as well as buyers from abroad, will attend the three-day event. In the run-up to the fair, visitors can obtain information about new products, marketing strategies and merchandising, etc, on the internet (www.bricolage.com.br), and also make advance appointments to see exhibitors on their stands. According to information from the organisers, the Brazilian DIY market amounts to US $ 16 bn, and growth of 3 per cent is forecast for this year.
