FASTENERS WORLD MIDDLE EAST
2023/01/09-12
 
    The 7th edition of Fasteners World Middle East which was held during January 9 to 12 at Expo Centre Sharjah is the only specialized fastener exhibition in the Middle East and North Africa region. This year the organizer arranged national pavilions for China, India, Turkey and Europe in the exhibition hall.
 
    This year's edition coincided with the rising oil prices in the Middle East, which has created a boom in the local manufacturing and construction industries and promoted the rapid growth of the fastener industry.  Intelligence reveals that the total construction market in the Middle East Gulf countries is valued at US$1 trillion, with as many as 5,000 construction projects in the UAE region. The size of the fastener economy that derives from it is not to be underestimated.
 
    During the show period, we met traders and metalworkers from Dubai who were looking for companies interested in setting up manufacturing plants in Dubai. They indicated that the UAE government is interested in providing subsidies in the future to reduce the cost of transporting industrial goods for these companies.
 
    A visitor mentioned the fact that Chinese manufacturing industry is affected by the Chinese government’s policy has driven the Middle East buyers to prefer collaborating with other Asian manufacturers to ensure a stable supply. In addition, a visitor from India was looking for machines that can manufacture large sized screws. There was also a visitor from Sharjah who was looking for screws to fasten ship pipelines. We also heard from Taiwanese exhibitors that the anticipation for this show was high and that the number of exhibitors and visitors exceeded the last show!
 
 
 
 
FASTENER FAIR GLOBAL
2023/03/21-23
 
    As a major manufacturing city, Germany has huge potential for its industrial and automotive industries. Market research institutions have released the latest forecast that the global market scale of industrial fasteners will reach USD 87.3 billion by 2026, while automotive fasteners will reach USD 24.2 billion in 2028, of which Germany will occupy a significant share. Against the background of high demand prospects, the world waited four years and finally witnessed the 9th edition of Fastener Fair Global returning to Messe Stuttgart for a three-day period from March 21-23, 2023, attracting global fastener exhibitors and buyers to exchange and discuss collaboration opportunities.
 
    The organizer's booth sales agent, Fastener World brought nearly150 Taiwanese exhibitors to the event to gain more business opportunities for the Taiwanese industry to export to the European market. Several Taiwanese fastener companies told Fastener World that the lineup of Taiwan exhibitors in the 2023 edition was a huge force that could not be underestimated. The reason why Taiwan attached great importance to the return of this show was because, for one thing, Taiwan saw the potential of this show in prompting buyers to place orders; for another, Taiwan looked to grasp a wave of orders from this show in spring to replenish order books and to begin shipping worldwide from the second half of 2023. Additionally, the newly designed Taiwan Pavilion was particularly eye-catching and stood out in the venue, attracting inquiries from many local and overseas buyers and visitors.
 
    During the show, Fastener World provided visitors with matchmaking and other collaboration opportunities, and recommended many suppliers' quality products and technologies through publications. One thing of interest was that the Fastener World’s staff took a group photo with one of the visitors in exotic clothes and screw hat, creating a joyful interaction.
 
    According to the latest data from the organizer's press release issued on March 30 (German time), the three-day show attracted around 1,000 exhibitors from 46 countries and used 23,230 square meters of venue space in total (1,000 square meters more than the previous edition) in Halls 1/3/5/7. Exhibitors were mainly from Germany, Italy, Spain, Turkey, UK, the Netherlands, Poland, France, Taiwan, China and India. This year, with the lifting of lockdown in various countries, overseas buyers are eager to start replenishing their stock in large quantities. The 2023 edition brought an inpour of both people and purchase orders. Almost 11,000 trade visitors from 83 countries visited the Fair and they were mostly distributors, manufacturers, and suppliers from Germany, Italy, UK, Poland, France, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain, Czech Republic, Austria, and Belgium.
 
    Fastener Fair Global showcased a wide range of products, including raw materials (wire rods), finished/semi-finished fasteners, tooling, machines and equipment, secondary processing, surface treatment, heat treatment, electroplating and baking, warehousing, and related products and services. Every year, the show attracted numerous visitors from the construction, automotive, aerospace, marine, electronics, light and heavy engineering, energy, communication technology, metal products, furniture manufacturing, and sanitary ware industries.
 
The next edition of Fastener Fair Global will take place again at Messe Stuttgart on March 25-27, 2025.
 
 
 
 
MANUFACTURING WORLD NAGOYA
2023/04/12-14
 
    The 8th Manufacturing World Nagoya was successfully held from April 12 to 14, 2023 in Hall 1 of the Port Messe Nagoya. A Japanese exhibitor at the show told Fastener World that the venue was packed with people on the first day of the show, and remained heavily patronized for three consecutive days. According to the data of the organizer, 8,044 people came on the first day, 9,093 on the second day, and 10,363 on the third day, increasing day by day for three consecutive days, reaching 275,000 people in total. In fact, Fastener World’s booth saw more visitors coming to seek matchmaking services on the third day.
 
    One visitor to Fastener World shared a new trend that is brewing in the international market— titanium alloy powder. This is a high precision material that can be used as a raw material for the production of high-end products such as medical grade, aerospace grade, and automotive grade fasteners, and is gradually attracting the interest of many fastener manufacturers. Due to high plasticity and machinability, powdered titanium alloy is very suitable for forming high precision and highly customized fastener products. Even when customers request specific fastener shapes, powdered titanium alloy can handle. Therefore, the production using titanium alloy powder is very flexible and suitable for manufacturers who are upgrading to high value-added products. The potential of titanium alloy powder in the future is considerable.
 
    The organizer announced that the next Manufacturing World Nagoya will be held from April 10 will be unveiled again on April 10-12, 2024.
 
 
 
 
TAIPEI AMPA
2023/04/12-15
 
    Taipei International Automobile & Motorcycle Parts & Accessories Show (TAIPEI AMPA) was held from April 12 to 15, 2023 in Hall 1 of Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center. For the first time the show combines 3 sub-fairs including TAIPEI AMPA, AUTOTRONICS TAIPEI, 2035 E-Mobility Taiwan. Across 4 days, it attracted nearly 4,000 global buyers, 830 companies, 2,200 booths, over 50,000 professionals, and 4,000 domestic and overseas buyers from 103 countries. The majority of the buyers were from Japan, while others included Malaysia, the U.S., Singapore and South Korea.
 
    During the show, the organizers arranged full-day forums, with electric vehicles being a major focus of discussion. Global EV sales have soared from 2.276 million units to 10.522 million units in the past three years, creating a huge demand for parts and components. Taiwan provides automotive fasteners and parts OEM production technology that is equal to the world standard, so naturally it has become a hot spot for buyers from over 100 countries to come and purchase. At the Fastener World booth, we met domestic and foreign buyers who came to inquire about automotive fasteners, professional-grade fastening tools and other high-end fastening products, expecting to find high quality sources of supply through our matching services. Judging from the post-show matchmaking result, the future potential of the automotive parts OEM market in Taiwan is still huge.
 
    With this year's show coming to an end, the organizer announced the next TAIPEI AMPA, AutoTronics Taipei, and E-Mobility Taiwan 2035 will be held from April 17 to 20, 2024.
