THE DISTRIBUTOR’S LINK
FASTENER FAIR SECOND ANNUAL FASTENER FAIR USA 2019 GROWS IN ATTENDANCE AND EXHIBITS from page 90
“There is something for everyone in the industry –
distributors, manufacturers, OEMs – at Fastener Fair
USA,” said Baron Yarborough of Spring Bolt and Nut
Manufacturing and Young Fastener Professionals.
Fastener Fair USA provided exhibiting companies
an opportunity to meet with new and current customers
in a different area of the country, finding distributors,
distinguishing engineering opportunities, and networking
with fastener and fixing industry professionals throughout
the supply chain.
“We saw a lot of our customers that we wouldn’t
normally get to see because we’re in a different city…
and that’s a great thing,” said Ken Kovach of Ken
Forging.
Coming off the success of 2019, the show organizers
are gearing up and excited for 2020. The next Fastener
Fair USA will be held May 2020 at the Charlotte
Convention Center in North Carolina. More than 50
Detroit exhibitors have already secured space for the
Charlotte event, with 25% of the floor being rebooked for
2020.
“We’re thrilled about the positive response to our
Charlotte event,” said Carroll Henning, Fastener Fair USA
exhibition manager. “We are definitely going to have an
all-day pre-show education program from the Fastening
Training Institute and free industry education on the
floor again. We’re forecasting a bigger and better show
floor – more attendees, more machinery, new education
topics, more networking opportunities, and of course,
new products and technology.”
