Weldex & Fastenex: Surpassing Expectations in Industry Attendance and Innovation
The International B2B Exhibition of Fasteners, Fittings, and Industrial Supply (Fastenex), co-located alongside Weldex, continues its exponential growth as Eurasia’s premier platform for industrial supplies, joining technologies, and hardware engineering.
Held annually at Crocus Expo IEC in Moscow, the combined exposition brings together a strong concentration of manufacturing, construction, and engineering decision-makers.
Key Growth Metrics & Performance Highlights
- Expansive Visitor Reach: Attracting over 1,200 trade professionals from 8+ countries across Eurasia and international markets.
- High-Intent Specialist Audience: Over 72% of attendees are first-time visitors, with 92% actively sourcing new hardware, tooling, and fastening technologies to upgrade procurement workflows.
- Exhibitor Commercial Success: 85% of Fastenex exhibitors successfully secure new B2B clients, establish supply contracts, and expand regional sales footprint during the event.
- ICo-located with Weldex: Spanning massive exhibition halls alongside Weldex, creating a unified sourcing floor for hardware, welding, and industrial tooling.
