Launching for the first time in Hall 7, the “Innovation and Sustainability Pavilion” will highlight groundbreaking fastener solutions that deliver high on performance while reducing environmental impact, for example by utilising efficient manufacturing processes, recyclable materials, or lightweight designs.
In Hall 3, the “Hand Tool Pavilion” is making its debut, showcasing specialist hand tools designed for advanced, cost-efficient, and precise applications in key sectors such as aerospace, defence, energy, shipbuilding, construction, and manufacturing.
The popular “Route to Fastener Innovation Competition”, organised by media partner Fastener + Fixing Magazine, will also make a return, promoting clever innovations on the market, with the aim to show the benefits of new fastening products to a wider audience.
Fostering a culture of innovation to serve fast-moving markets
Tangible improvements for users, for example in efficiency, durability, safety, or cost-effectiveness, is what drives the ongoing development of fastener and fixing innovations. By aligning its advancements with the needs of various industries, the fastener and fixing sector acts as a critical enabler of solutions to global issues.
“Our exhibitors are vital strategic partners in driving progress and resilience,“ explains Stephanie Cerri, Event Director for Fastener Fair Global at RX. “Their innovation power lies in developing customised, high-precision fastening solutions, using advanced materials for lightweight or high-strength applications, embracing automation, IoT and other smart technologies, and introducing sustainable practices and materials in production processes.”
