Fastener Fair Stuttgart to move for 2009

Following the success of Fastener Fair Stuttgart in September 2008, where 435 exhibitors from 37 countries met with 3,506 visitors from around the world, the organizer has announced a new location for the show when it next takes place Oct. 7-8, 2009.

In response to a 120 percent growth in exhibitors and a 75 percent growth in visitors from the 2005 to the 2007 show, the show will move to the new 1,130,220-sq.-ft. Messe Stuttgart trade fair center near Stuttgart airport.

The new venue will be able to accommodate a much larger show and features halls specifically designed and built for industrial shows.
