Why Rosemont

big broad chest of America is the Heartland…and Rosemont, IL. This popular
convention town is home to cutting-edge cuisine, a lively 200,000 square foot

Value Statement
To deliver the most valuable
tradeshow experience to
surface finishing suppliers at
the lowest possible cost.
Though it’s a fun part of the tourist experience to hit the most well-known spots
during a visit to Chicago, it’s definitely worthwhile to scope out some of the
quality locations that the locals frequent in Rosemont, IL.
As SUR/FIN returns to this wonderful city, we will once again be joined by our
friends at the Mid-West Fastener Association as they co-exhibit with their
annual Fastener Show.

by exhibiting at NASF’s SUR/FIN 2013.
