Taiwan Fastener Show Opens in Kaohsiung
The Taiwan International Fastener Show (TIFS) opened in Kaohsiung with 402 exhibitors in 1002 booths.
Billed as “the third-largest in the world and the second-largest in Asia,” TIFS takes place from April 11-13 at the Kaohsiung Exhibition Center.
Organized by the Bureau of Foreign Trade of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, co-organized by the Kaohsiung City Government, the TIFS is carried out by the Taiwan External Trade Development Council (TAITRA) and the Taiwan Industrial Fastener Institute (TIFI). The exhibit includes fastener products and machine, material, mold and hand tools.
“Mostly exporting fasteners for industrial use and automotive fasteners, Taiwan has been actively making a transition in the past decade to produce products with higher value, such as those in aerospace, the medical field, the railway sector and more,” stated show organizers.
For example, in late 2015 San Shing Fastech and Ying Ming Industry both obtained orders for trial productions at Boeing.
A Global Fastener Leader Summit will be held on the first day of the three-day show, gathering such fastener professionals as Dr. Volker Lederer from the European Fastener Distributor Association (EFDA), Marc Strandquist from the National Fastener Distributors Association (NFDA) in the U.S., Dr. Gian Marco Dal Pane from the Italian Union of Fastener Distributors (UDIB) and Taiwan’s TIFI chairman Anchor Chang.
Over 300 representatives from Taiwan, the U.S., Germany, Italy, the UK, Canada, India, Indonesia, China, Hong Kong, South Korea and Malaysia signed up for the summit, according to show organizers. Web: FastenerTaiwan.com.tw
