A new event is set to energise Europe’s manufacturing and engineering industries, with Fastener Expo Frankfurt – scheduled for 23^rd – 25^th March 2026 – taking place at Messe Frankfurt in Germany. The show is being organised by EBSEEK Exhibition GmbH, a specialist in creating trade fairs.

EBSEEK Exhibition states that Fastener Expo Frankfurt will bring together 300+ international exhibitors and thousands of professional buyers across automotive, aerospace, machinery, construction, renewable energy, as well as next generation manufacturing applications.

“Fastener Expo Frankfurt is designed to become Europe’s new meeting place for fastener technology – where global manufacturing strength meets Europe’s engineering demand, all in one strategic location,” reports Klaus Liermann, managing director for EBSEEK Exhibition.

Fastener manufacturers and distributors who have already confirmed their participation include baier & michels GmbH & Co KG,
Optimas OE Solutions Ltd, Rotor Clip and Kobout B.V. Buyers will also be able to experience first-hand next generation fastening products, advanced metal forming processes, assembly technologies, as well as application driven innovations.

The inaugural edition of Fastener Expo Frankfurt will also include national pavilions, each presenting unique capabilities from across the world’s major fastener producing regions. The German pavilion will feature leading German manufacturers and tech start-ups, such as Maschinenfabrik Wagner GmbH & Co KG. The Turkish pavilion will have top Turkish manufacturers involved including Çetin Civata A.S and Omega Civata. Finally the Chinese pavilion will have companies such as Fastener Group, Aiko Clamp, and BSC Corporation, presenting the latest in automated production, precision forming and global supply capabilities.

At Fastener Expo Frankfurt there will also be a VIP Buyer Programme, which is designed for professional buyers with active sourcing needs. The programme will help directly connect exhibitors with hundreds of pre-screened procurement teams.

Furthermore, a series of technical workshops will be held, where experts from the automotive, wind and solar power, machinery, and other key sectors, will share perspectives ranging from fastener technology trends, performance and safety standards, digitalisation and 'Smart' fastening, to challenges faced by end users in advanced manufacturing.

In partnership with European automotive OEMs, Fastener Expo Frankfurt will also feature live demonstrations featuring passenger and commercial vehicles that are equipped with fastening and fixing applications, as well as an assembly torque wrench showcase. It’s a rare opportunity to see ‘inside the vehicle’ through the lens of fastening engineering.
