International hardware fair Cologne

The International hardware fair Cologne, a must for professionals from the hardware sector, will take place from 28^th February to 3^rd March 2010. About 2,500 exhibitors will present their broad range of new products in halls 1 to 5 and hall 10 at the Cologne exhibition centre. The focus is clearly on addressing the specialist trade, hence the restructuring of the product ranges. The tools segment has been strongly positioned and will present a broad range of hand and power tools, as well as accessories. For the first time industrial supplies, workshop and factory equipment will have their own identity with the product segment “Industrial Supply“. Other important segments at the fair include “Locks & Fittings” and “Fastening & Fittings“. This area will be complemented by the segment “Home Improvement“, where visitors can find innovations for builders and DIY supplies. “The trade must meet the daily changing demands of its customers. At the 2010 trade fair we aim to present a range of products and services oriented more than ever before to meeting the needs of the qualified specialist trade“, says Oliver P. Kuhrt, executive vice president of Koelnmesse, in explaining the focus of the coming hardware fair.
