WHAT ATTENDEES & EXHIBITORS HAD TO SAY This is the biggest show yet, which means it s also the biggest networking opportunity. There are people we ve been seeing for years, and people who come just to see us. We ve seen so much growth that we re expanding our booth next year so we ll have more room to do business! The International Fastener Expo is a place where you can make relationships that will change and grow your business. I had a great time at the show. The International Fastener Expo provides more opportunities to network and meet with new suppliers than anywhere else. I was able to find a new supplier for custom parts, get a quote, and place an order before I left the first day CRAIG C., PRESIDENT, TRINITY FASTENER KIM T., INSIDE SALES MANAGER, KREHER STEEL CO., LLC We experience growth at this show year after year.
