EISENWARENMESSE - International Hardware Fair Cologne 2020 : the entire hardware industry on four days in Cologne

From 1 to 4 March 2020, Cologne will once again become the meeting point for the entire international hardware industry. For four days, around 3,000 suppliers from more than 55 countries will present tools, products from the industrial supply, fasteners and fixings, fittings and home improvement segments. The product offering of the exhibitors is complemented by an extensive and diverse event programme that offers themes and occasions for communication that move the industry.

This March, the EISENWARENMESSE - International Hardware Fair Cologne will present itself not only with a new hall and more square metres. In addition to this, the segments will be distributed equally over all halls. The largest product offering is still the Tool section in halls 2, 4, 5, 10 and 11. The theme of Industrial Supply can once again be found in halls 2 – 5, while exhibitors of the Fasteners and Fixings and Home Improvement segments will present themselves in halls 2 – 5 and 11. With this structure, trade visitors will profit more from the unification with the other segments and the synergies resulting from this.

In addition to the enormous range of offerings, the profound international character and the quality of the exhibitors of the EISENWARENMESSE - International Hardware Fair Cologne is particularly appealing. More than 85 percent of exhibitors will once again come from abroad in 2020. Besides many exhibitors from Germany, other European countries are also very well-represented in Cologne. Italy, Poland and the Netherlands are strong exhibitor countries, among others. From overseas, China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, India and the USA are represented with large contingents.

The significance of the event as the most important meeting point of the industry can be seen in the list of names on the registration list. With the agreement to the Cordless Alliance System cooperation, power tools are also returning to the EISENWARENMESSE - International Hardware Fair Cologne.
