TiTE x IHT trade fair platform in Taiwan

The Taiwan International Tools & Hardware Expo x International Hardware Expo Taiwan (TiTE x IHT 2025) trade fair will take place from 21 to 23 October at the recently expanded TICEC - Taichung (Shui-Nan) International Convention & Exhibition Centre. The organisers are Lanza International and the Taiwan Hand Tool Manufacturers' Association (THMA). They expect more than 400 exhibitors with around 800 stands and more than 20,000 buyers from North and South America, Europe, Japan, Southeast Asia and the Middle East.

The theme of the trade fair is ‘Team Taiwan’. It covers eight subject areas: tools and accessories; metalworking; equipment and occupational safety; automotive repair and applications for electric vehicles; fastening technology; gardening, agriculture and outdoor; construction and home improvement; digital smart manufacturing.

According to its own statement, the TICEC – Taichung (Shui-Nan) International Convention Exhibition Centre is Taiwan's newest and largest international exhibition complex in a green building with an exhibition area of 14,011 m² and a total area of over 40,000 m². Strategically located in the heart of central Taiwan's industrial region and in close proximity to clusters for the hand tool and precision machinery industries, the venue benefits from a ‘front shop, back factory’ advantage, according to the organisers. This ‘venue as origin’ model is designed to create a seamless sourcing ecosystem that connects international buyers directly with local manufacturers.
