Fastener World's on-site staff reported that the overseas visitors weremainly from Central and South America, with Mexico being the largest visitor
source, and some visitors from the United States coming to meet with Chinese
suppliers. In addition, the prices of standard fasteners in China are now very
low and competition is intense. The local Chinese market is saturating up,
so many local companies are turning to export. Last but not least, due to EU
anti-dumping duties and the US-China trade war, the Chinese machinery
exhibitors have now switched their sales targets from Europe and the U.S. todeveloping countries such as Mexico, India, and South America.

A Manufacturing
Event That Brings
Together Six Major
Industries Into One
From July 19th to 22nd, a significant

including auto parts, surface treatment, electronics, robots/automation, facility management, mold making, and plastics,
to create the most comprehensive manufacturing and peripheralindustry show in Southeast Asia.
GOODWAYA major feature of this show is having pavilions for many countries
including China, Singapore, Germany, Taiwan, and Japan. The visualdesign of each pavilion showed the exhibitors came prepared in a formof unified allies. In addition to local Thai exhibitors, this show gathered alarge number of Chinese exhibitors, exceeding the number of other foreignexhibitors. The foreign countries with the second largest number of exhibitors
were Japan and Germany. Among the exhibitors, many were manufacturersof medium and large automotive parts. Among the exhibitors that provided
fasteners as part of the product line, most were Chinese companies, andadditionally there was a South Korean automotive fastener manufacturer. In
terms of hardware and washers, there were several exhibitors from China,
Thailand and Singapore. In terms of fastener-related peripheral products, there
were several Japanese screw feeder manufacturers, as well as several Japanese
fastener surface treatment companies.
It is worth noting that in the Taiwan pavilion, many Taiwanese hand tool
manufacturers came to exhibit, including well-known manufacturers suchas Mobiletron and Proxene. The exhibitors also included hand tool tradersand distributors from Japan and Thailand. In addition, many Japanese

Most of the visitors who came to Fastener World’s booth for the latest
publications were looking for electronic screws, standard screws, customizedscrews, hexagonal bolts, automotive bolts, washers, and springs. A Japanese trader
representative revealed that his company used to solely import fasteners into
Thailand from many Japanese suppliers via the branches in Thailand. However,price considerations have rendered them to begin looking for other suppliers
from Asia (including Taiwan) and Southeast Asia this year. In addition,a well-known German fastener developer is about to set up a factory inThailand and is looking for high-quality fastener suppliers in Asia. Fastener
World did its best part to introduce suitable suppliers in the publications tothese representatives and other visitors.
The next show will be held again at the same location from June 18 to 21, 2025,
and is expected to continue this year's achievements.

HigherInquiries on
Auto Parts andAccessories

Inafastener was held at JIExpo Kemayoran
in Jakarta, Indonesia, from May 15 to 17 thisyear, and was concurrently held with the shows forbicycle & motorcycle parts & accessories, tyre &rubber, bus & truck parts & accessories, construction/infrastructure/mining, and trucks & trailers. Although
Inafastener, which exhibited a wide range of industrial fasteners andfastening elements, assembly and installation systems, as well as services
related to warehousing and logistics, was one of the thematic zones,
the number and proportion of exhibitors of hardware and fasteners wasrelatively small, as the overall exhibition area was still dominated byexhibitors from automotive and motorcycle related industries.

This year, Fastener World also participated in the exhibition anddistributed our latest magazines on-site, in order to build a bridge withlocal supply chains and potential customers for those interested in
expanding into the Indonesian market and deepening their business layout
in the ASEAN markets. According to the observation of Fastener World's
staff on-site, this year's show was more of a regional show. Although
there were a few exhibitors from Japan, Taiwan, Vietnam and China, the majority of exhibitors were local. Automotive parts andaccessories were the products with high enquiries this year. In addition, in response to the industry's concern about energy savingand carbon reduction, some exhibitors displayed products and services related to energy saving or low carbon technology.
The organizer has announced that the next show will be held on May 21-23, 2025. For more information, please visit ourwebsite at www.fastener-world.com
