From Tainan to Kraków: Fastener Industry on the Global Stage

The Tainan City Government, in partnership with ITRI, will lead eight leading fastener companies to participate in Fastener Poland 2025 at EXPO Kraków on October 15–16, 2025. This initiative adopts a three-in-one strategy of exhibition participation, business matchmaking, and company visits, aiming to showcase Tainan’s industrial strengths and expand into the European market.

The delegation covers the entire fastener supply chain, including screws, nuts, bolts, rivets, forming machines, and related equipment, with strong capabilities in multi-station forming, smart manufacturing, and Industry 4.0 applications. Poland is a key industrial hub in Central and Eastern Europe, and the exhibition annually gathers more than 150 exhibitors from 18 countries and nearly 3,000 professional buyers, with international attendees making up 46%—a clear indicator of strong business opportunities.

Through this program, Tainan seeks to help SMEs diversify export markets, secure new international orders, and strengthen global cooperation. By targeting Europe at Fastener Poland, the city transforms the vision of “Hand in hand with Tainan, moving forward with the world” into action, reinforcing its resilience against global supply chain challenges and positioning Tainan as a trusted partner in the global fastener industry.
