Increasing attendance figures

Jerry Ramsdale, organiser of the Fastener Fair Stuttgart, is sure that the event will experience a strong increase on its debut staging in 2005. Already more than 330 exhibitors have made bookings six months before the fair even opens, which is 132 more than in 2005. The event, to be held in three halls on 19 and 20 September 2007, will present a broad spectrum of products in the fastener and fixings industry. "We have a good mixture of international participants to ensure that all sectors of the industry are represented," says Jerry Ramsdale. Two years ago the fair attracted the attendance of 2 000 trade buyers from 51 countries. This year Ramsdale expects at least a doubling of this figure.
