From October 15 to 16, 2025, Fastener Poland®, the leading international trade fair for the fastener industry in Central and Eastern Europe, was successfully held at the EXPO Kraków Exhibition Center. The event brought together exhibitors and professional buyers from Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Italy, Japan, Israel, and other countries, showcasing the latest innovations in products and technologies.

The exhibition floor was bustling with activity as buyers and manufacturers from sectors such as automotive, construction, energy, and machinery engaged in intensive business discussions. Innovative products, automation equipment, and sustainable manufacturing solutions stood out as major highlights of this year’s event.

The IFS China (International Fastener Show China) organizing committee traveled to Poland to visit and engage with industry peers. The goal was to gain deeper insights into the European market, expand international partnerships, and promote the upcoming IFS China 2026, scheduled to take place from May 20–22, 2026, at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center.

During the exhibition, the IFS China team distributed nearly a thousand invitations and promotional brochures to buyers from various countries and regions, introducing the progress and layout of the 2026 show. The team highlighted the key exhibition zones that will focus on new energy vehicles, aerospace, construction engineering, and intelligent manufacturing, as well as tailored services designed for international buyers.

Many European buyers expressed strong interest in the scale and international reach of the Shanghai exhibition. They exchanged contact information with the organizing committee and expressed the desire to learn more about future participation and cooperation opportunities.

The visit to Poland gave the IFS China team valuable insights into the fast-growing potential of the Central and Eastern European fastener industry and laid a solid foundation for future exhibition cooperation and resource sharing between China and Europe.

Looking ahead, IFS China – the International Fastener Show Shanghai will continue to strengthen its global presence, foster industry exchange and collaboration, and provide an open and efficient trade platform for enterprises from around the world.
