Chicago, IL, March 30, 2017 – Mack Brooks Exhibitions Group, organizers of the Fastener Fair exhibitions taking place globally, announce the launch of Fastener Fair USA. The first edition of this unique industrial fastener and fixing show will take place April 11-12, 2018 at the Huntington Convention Center in Cleveland, OH. 

Fastener Fair USA will be the premier event bringing together manufacturers, distributors, suppliers and end users in the region’s only dedicated fastener, fixing, and joining technology exhibition. The show will offer a first-hand look at the latest solutions and technology available in the marketplace, as well as a top-notch educational program developed and delivered by industry experts. There will also be networking events to facilitate relationships and collaborations with industry peers.

“The idea to bring Fastener Fair to the U.S. market originated within the fastener industry” said Melissa Magestro, Executive Vice President of Mack Brook Exhibitions, Inc. “There is an increased need to find new technologies and suppliers in the U.S., and fastener OEMs and distributors are looking for a platform to showcase their solutions. We are bringing the Fastener Fair experience to the heart of the Midwest manufacturing region.”

Forecasts for GDP growth remain steady through 2020, and industrial manufacturing within the US continues to be strong. According to a study on Industrial Fasteners by the Freedonia Group, published in May 2016, the U.S. market for industrial fasteners is expected to increase 2.6 percent per year to $15.2 billion in 2020. 

A unique feature of Fastener Fair USA will be the Fasteners Direct Pavilion, where manufacturers can showcase their solutions for OEM engineers, designers, buyers and R&D professionals all in one convenient location. The show will also offer exclusive, technical education sessions specifically to address the product design challenges of OEM end users.
