Overview –

Exhibit space sales for the National Industrial Fastener & Mill Supply Expo scheduled for October 22-24, 2014 at the Sands Expo Center in Las Vegas, Nevada USA are running 14% ahead of the same time last year. “We only have 144 booths remaining and are expecting a complete sell-out”, reports Susan A. Hurley, General Manager.

“We have sold 705 booths to 527 companies from throughout the USA as well as 18 other nations worldwide including Brazil, Canada, China, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Japan, Korea, Luxembourg, Mexico, Netherlands, Singapore, Spain, Taiwan, Turkey, United Kingdom and Vietnam, plus we continue to receive new exhibit space contracts and serious inquiries on a daily basis. We are seeing an increase in aerospace fastener manufacturers, machinery & tooling companies and suppliers of specialty tools, hand tools and other industry related products and services. We have already added 30 new companies and are welcoming back six companies which are returning after a three or more year absence. We expect 2014 to be the largest Expo of its kind ever held in North America if not the world”, says Ms. Hurley.
