Growing interest

Over 600 exhibitors from 37 countries have registered so far for the Fastener Fair in Stuttgart. “There has been significant growth in the number of German and Italian exhibitors,” says organiser Jerry Ramsdale, “and in companies from growth markets such as India and Turkey.” The fair takes place on 7-8 October 2009 on the new exhibition grounds at Stuttgart’s international airport. The organiser is also expecting a sharp rise in visitor numbers. The previous show in September 2007 attracted 437 exhibitors from 37 countries and 3 506 visitors from all over the world.
