Close Enough to Drive. Too Big to Miss.
Over 550 exhibitors. One show floor. Every corner of the fastener, machinery, tooling and industrial products world, gathered in one place.
Here’s what’s waiting for you when you make the drive:
- 550-plus exhibitors showcasing fasteners, production machinery, tooling and inspection equipment
- SourceGlobal, where you meet face-to-face with 350 international factories without leaving the country
- Comprehensive product catalogs and technical specs at your fingertips, so you can compare and source on the spot
- Bulk sourcing conversations with suppliers who can sharpen your procurement costs
- Complimentary on-floor education built around the industry’s most pressing challenges
Why fly across the country to source new suppliers and products when the whole industry is a short drive away? This is your chance to reduce procurement time, connect with global partners and make smarter buying decisions, all in a single trip.
93% of attendees agree this show is important to their business. There’s a reason they keep coming back.
Road Trip, Anyone?
Great business happens in person. When you’re standing in front of a product, talking specs with the people who build it, you make faster, better decisions.
Meet the engineers, buyers, manufacturers, distributors and C-suite leaders driving every segment of the supply chain. Whether you work in automotive, aerospace or construction, the connections you make on this floor turn into partnerships that pay off all year long.
And the networking doesn’t stop when the show floor closes.
