The 2013 Fastener Fair Stuttgart opened February 26 on a snowy day with record numbers of exhibiting companies and exhibit space.

We want to congratulate our exhibitors and visitors for this great success,” stated Susanne Rauberger, Exhibition Director Fastener Fair Stuttgart, on behalf of the organisers, Mack Brooks Exhibitions.
