The organizer's booth sales agent, Fastener World brought
Taiwanese exhibitors to the event to gain more business
opportunities for Taiwanese industry to export to the Europeanmarket. Several Taiwanese fastener companies told Fastener
World that the lineup of Taiwan exhibitors in the 2023 edition
was a huge force that could not be underestimated. The reason
why Taiwan attached great importance to the return of this show
was because, for one thing, Taiwan saw the potential of this show
in prompting buyers to place orders; for another, Taiwan was
looking to grasp a wave of orders from this show in spring toreplenish order books and to begin shipping worldwide from thesecond half of 2023. Additionally, the newly designed Taiwan
Pavilion was particularly eye-catching and stood out in thevenue, attracting inquiries from many local and overseas buyers
and visitors.
During the show, Fastener World provided visitors withmatchmaking and other collaboration opportunities, andrecommended many suppliers' quality products and technologies
through publications. One thing of interest was that the Fastener
World’s staff took a group photo with one of the visitors in exotic

One visitor to Fastener World shared a new trend that is
brewing in the international market— titanium alloy powder.
This is a high precision material that can be used as a raw

094 惠達雜誌material for the production of high-end products such as medicalgrade, aerospace grade, and automotive grade fasteners, and isgradually attracting the interest of many fastener manufacturers.
Due to high plasticity and machinability, powdered titanium alloyis very suitable for forming high precision and highly customized
fastener products. Even when customers request specific fastener
shapes, powdered titanium alloy can handle. Therefore, theproduction using titanium alloy powder is very flexible andsuitable for manufacturers who are upgrading to high value-addedproducts. The potential of titanium alloy powder in the future isconsiderable.
The organizer announced that the next M-Tech Nagoya will beunveiled again on April 10-12, 2024.

June 1 to 3 unveiled the curtain of Fastener Fair India which showcased
industrial fasteners, mounting systems, warehousing and logistics services,
fastener manufacturing technology and construction fasteners. Market researchfirms predict that India's industrial fastener market scale is expected to reach asizeable INR 460 billion by 2023, supported in large part by local automotiveand construction demand.
The automotive industry is the largest consumer of fasteners in India, and in
2022 Indian automotive industry was one of the world's highlights, with domestic
passenger car sales up by a whopping 23% to 3,792,356 vehicles, in stark contrast
to the sluggish European auto market. In the context of this year's slow market
recovery, the demand for automobiles and automotive fasteners in India isexpected to rise again, thus making Fastener Fair India even more anticipated.
Fastener World caught this uptrend in South Asia and we took the opportunity
to hand out publications at the show and introduce fastener suppliers to Indianvisitors. These visitors mainly came from Mumbai and New Delhi, while othersfrom Qatar and other countries. Most of them were looking for manufacturers,
traders and wholesalers who could supply versatile screws. The high number ofvisitors to our booth exceeded our expectation, reflecting the high demand forfasteners in India. Fastener business opportunities are blooming there.
