The first edition of Fastener Fair Brazil, held from 8-9 November 2011 in São Paulo’s Expo Centre Norte, proved to be a big success. A total of 170 international exhibitors and more than 2,500 visitors participated in this launch event for Brazil’s fastener and fixings industry. Based on the highly positive feedback from both visitors and exhibitors, organisers Mack Brooks Exhibitions have already announced that the next event will be held next year, from 20-21 November 2012, at the same venue.

 

“We want to thank our participants at the first Fastener Fair Brazil for this great success. The commitment from our exhibitors as well as the support from industry organisations and media partners was extraordinary. And I am particularly delighted to be able to report that the quality and quantity of the visitors have not just exceeded our expectations, but those of many of the exhibitors,” says Candyce Costa, Exhibition Manager Fastener Fair Brazil, on behalf of Mack Brooks Exhibitions.

 

During the two show days, the exhibitors had put a comprehensive range of industrial fasteners, construction fixings, assembly and installation systems as well as manufacturing technology on display. Well over a third of exhibitors were Brazilian companies alongside suppliers and manufacturers from Europe, the USA and Asia. In the exhibition survey the majority of exhibitors were able to report positive business enquiries at their stands; most of the exhibitors stated to have achieved their aims.

 

Highly qualified visitor audience

In the exhibitor survey the event received excellent marks for the quality and quantity of its trade visitors. These were mainly from Brazil (95%) and the neighbouring South American countries; however, some 2% of visitors came to Fastener Fair Brazil from other parts of the world, in particular from the USA.

 

Visitors at Fastener Fair Brazil 2011 were mainly fastener and fixings manufacturers (45%) followed by distributors/suppliers (24%), end users (23%) and wholesalers/retailers suppliers (8%). Key industry sectors to which the visitors belonged included the automotive industry, the distribution sector, construction, hardware/retail, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, electrical products and furniture manufacturing. The exhibition attracted fastener and fixings specialists at all levels, with the majority being either company owners, having managerial or purchasing responsibility or being technical engineers.

 

Next Fastener Fair Brazil in November 2012

“The launch of Fastener Fair Brazil came exactly at the right time, and it successfully met the demand of the Brazilian fasteners and fixings industry for a targeted industry event in São Paulo. We look forward to sustainably developing this show into Brazil’s key platform for the fastener and fixings industry,” says Candyce Costa.

 

Fastener Fair Brazil will come back to the Expo Center Norte in São Paulo from 20–21 November 2012. The event is part of the Fastener Fair series of Mack Brooks Exhibitions’ targeted trade fairs for the fastener and fixings industry which includes Fastener Fair Hanover, Fastener Fair India, Fastener Fair Thailand, Fastener Fair Russia and the flagship event, Fastener Fair Stuttgart, Europe’s leading international trade fair for this industry sector.
