Taiwan International Tools & Hardware Expo (TiTE) x International Hardware Expo Taiwan (IHT) announced that its 2025 exhibition has successfully passed rigorous independent audits to achieve the ISO 14067 Carbon Footprint International Certification. The background to this process is that the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) accelerates and global procurement strategies pivot heavily toward low-carbon options and supply chain resilience.
TiTE and IHT are jointly organized by the Taiwan Hand Tool Manufacturers' Association (THTMA) and Lanza International. At the recent presentation ceremony, Da-Ling Shi, Deputy Economic Counselor of the International Trade Administration (TITA), Ministry of Economic Affairs, delivered remarks and presented the international certificate, which was accepted on behalf of the organizers by Genny Chiang, Director of Lanza International.
The 2026 TiTE x IHT will take place from October 20 to 22 at the Taichung International Convention and Exhibition Center (TICEC). Backed by central Taiwan’s high-density cluster of precision machinery and hardware industries, Taichung is rapidly becoming a premier procurement hub amid global supply chain restructuring. Organisers estimate this year's scale will reach up to 500 exhibitors and exceed 1,000 booths.
Anchored by the theme "From Manufacturing to Co-Creation/AI Empowerment Smart Upgrade", the expo will feature hand tools, fasteners, and building hardware. It further integrates advanced automation equipment, AI collaborative robots, low-carbon materials, and energy-efficient manufacturing processes.
Leveraging local cluster advantages, TiTE x IHT features a "Exhibition as Factory, Sourcing as Decision-Making" model, organisers say. International buyers can confirm product specifications on the show floor and visit surrounding factories within 24 hours for on-site audits and capacity evaluations.
Visitor registration for the 2026 TiTE x IHT and applications for the International Buyer Accommodation Subsidy are now officially open. This subsidy targets major distribution channels and key procurement representatives from Europe, North America, and emerging markets, providing dedicated accommodation stipends and one-on-one business matchmaking services.
