“Fastener + Fixing Technology will be distinctive in having a readership of technical, commercial and production managers sourcing and using fasteners and fixings in these industries. Editorial content will, therefore, be strongly application oriented, supported by updates on product developments and news from companies supplying or interested in supplying the Indian fastener market.” “We will be carefully evaluating the response to the first issue,” explained Jamie Mitchell, “but anticipate Fastener + Fixing
Technology developing as a quarterly print publication, which will also be available online in digital format. It will be supported by an active web presence to further expand its circulation, initially in India but depending on interest potentially in other significant fastener usage markets.”
Ferroforma exhibitor numbers crash again
Ferroforma, the hardware fair staged every two years in Bilbao, Northern Spain, has announced that “almost 500 firms” from 26 countries have committed to exhibit 23rd
March. T
hat total compares with 776 companies at the 2009 show, in turn a shadow of the 2007 event, which filled all six halls at the Bilbao Exhibition Centre with 1,314 exhibiting companies. 51% of the 2011 participants
will come from outside Spain – 31% from the rest of Europe, 5% from the Americas and 15% from Asia. Judged on the exhibitor list now available at the
Ferroforma website fastener industry involvement has also diminished substantially. Confirmed exhibitors include Bossard Spain, Fabory Portugal, Vipa Hispania, Fastenex (the association of small Spanish producers), Pecol from Portugal, Norma Iberia and a handful of other Spanish fastener suppliers. Other major Spanish names such as Index, Chavesbao, ABC Spain, Celo and Panelfisa do not appear on the list. The Bilbao Exhibition Centre has been energetic
in campaiging to potential exhibitors with a “policy of reasonably prices and new forms of financing”. Ferroforma and Bricoforma have also been thrown open to user visitors and BEC is extending special packages to international visits and also for trade specialist visitors that include accommodation, meals, parking and accreditation at “highly attractive prices”. The event will also include seminars for hardware specialists and users of tools and other hardware products, featuring presentations, round tables, and case studies of successful hardware businesses and demonstration contests for vehicle repair shops and specialist installers.
