Fastener Manufacturing Show Expanding

Jason Sandefur

The International Fastener & Precision Formed Parts Manufacturing Exposition & Conference is expanding its floor space after its initial booths area sold out. Ray Zirkle, executive director of the International Fastener Machinery & Suppliers Association, reported 90 exhibiting companies have booked 22,000 sq ft of space and several more are negotiating for space. Fastener machinery exhibitors bring production equipment to the show requiring larger spaces than traditional 10×10 booths.
The fastener manufacturing-oriented IFE will return to Cleveland May 7-10, 2007, in conjunction with the Wire Association International’s Interwire trade show and conferences. The event will be held at the Cleveland I-X Center.
“We have had excellent response to co-locating with Interwire,” Zirkle commented. “All the major players will be there,” he declared. The Industrial Fastener Institute’s automotive division will hold meetings in conjunction with IFE. E-mail: rzirkle@bzsales.com Web: IFEtradeshow.com
