Focus on new products

Some 2 700 exhibitors were on display at the three-day National Hardware Show in Las Vegas, which came to an end last Friday, 9 May 2013. Observers praised the decision of the organisers, Reed Exhibitions, for having improved their product category classification. Included among the eleven categories this year for the first time were building materials and “Farm & Ranch”. In addition there were numerous special exhibition areas. Three were available for innovative ideas and products: the special “New Products” zone, a section for innovations and a space where new exhibitors could introduce their companies and products.
