INT’L HARDWARE FAIR ITALY
The first edition of the International Hardware Fair Italy will be held on 5 and 6 May 2023 at the Bergamo Fair. Organized by Koelnmesse Italia on the model of EISENWARENMESSE, International Hardware Italy, a few weeks after its debut, it already has over 270 confirmed exhibitors, a result that suggests that the two pavilions that will host the show will be sold out. The participation of exhibitors from abroad is also very interesting, including group and individual exhibitors, arriving from 19 countries: Italy, Germany, Spain, France, Belgium, Switzerland, Greece, Holland, Slovenia, United Kingdom, Norway, Australia, Poland, Turkey, Bulgaria, India, Taiwan, China and the United States. International Hardware Fair Italy, therefore, hosts the entire world of hardware, construction, DIY, outdoor and gardening, as well as safety, paints and colors, electricity and industrial supplies.
The strong synergy with EISENWARENMESSE, the largest trade fair in the world, which inspired the Italian format, is the basis of the immediate success of the new event, both in Italy and in Europe, which aspires to become the new " Italian house of hardware, complementary to EISENWARENMESSE, in odd years. “We have been collecting precise signals from the Italian and European markets for some time to organize an event dedicated to the world of hardware, construction and DIY which is not yet present in Italy”, commented Thomas Rosolia, Managing Director of the Italian branch of Koelnmesse.
“We have therefore chosen to take the field and put all our experience as trade fair organizers into a review that meets the real needs of the technical sector. Also thanks to the strong support of the numerous European and Italian associations, we will continue on the path taken so that International Hardware Fair Italy establishes itself as the ideal platform for the most representative hardware, DIY, garden & outdoor and building sector in Italy for the European market", added Rosolia.
