Gear Up with CENS for Asia's Hardware Exhibitions!

2024/05/07 | By Andrew Hsu

International buyers can mark their calendars for a series of key Asian hardware exhibitions lined up this year! Starting with TOOL Japan on October 9-11, the schedule continues with the Canton Fair from October 15-19, and CIHS (China International Hardware Show) on October 21-23. Following these, the spotlight shifts to Taiwan with the IHT×TiTE event on October 16-18, followed by the Taiwan Hardware Show (THS) on October 23-25. These exhibitions have consistently been top destinations for international buyers seeking business opportunities in Taiwan.

After the pandemic, global supply chain sourcing has placed a greater emphasis on the resilience of industrial supply ecosystems. Any gap in the supply chain can significantly impact its overall resilience. Central Taiwan stands out as a unique hardware industry ecosystem cluster globally, thanks to its advantageous geographical location.

The collaboration within this industry not only showcases Taiwan's strengths to international buyers but also offers them integrated benefits such as information exchanges, factory visits, and order negotiations. This makes IHTxTiTE an essential international exhibition for buyers in the Asia-Pacific region, providing a comprehensive platform for business interactions and networking.

Also, this year, the Taiwan Hardware Show (THS) is set to expand its reach further. It will run concurrently with International Metal Technology Taiwan (iMT Taiwan) and Occupational Safety Taiwan (T-Safe), offering a more diverse range of exhibits and professional exhibit planning. This collaboration aims to enhance the overall experience for buyers by combining the strengths of three exhibitions under one roof.

Additionally, international pavilions will be invited to showcase their offerings, adding to the global appeal of the event. The three-day exhibition period is expected to attract a record number of professional buyers and visitors to the Taiwan Hardware Industry International Exhibition. In 2023, the show welcomed professional buyers from 77 countries, highlighting the immense attractiveness of THS within the global industry and its prowess in facilitating business and trade connections.
