FAQs
Fastener Fair USA is the leading U.S. trade event for the fastening industry. Distributors, manufacturers and suppliers meet over two days to discover products, source suppliers and do business.
Wednesday, May 19 and Thursday, May 20, 2027 at the Kentucky International Convention Center, 221 S 4th St, Louisville, KY 40202. Floor hours are 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM Wednesday and 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM Thursday.
Fastener, industrial and component distributors; contract manufacturers; purchasing and supply chain teams; product managers; engineers; and business owners and executive leadership. Attendees come from construction, automotive, aerospace, marine, general engineering, HVAC, energy and power generation, electronics, metal products, furniture manufacturing, plumbing and telecommunications.
Industrial fasteners and construction fixings, plus springs and wire forms, retaining rings, precision components, threaded inserts, rivets, coatings and finishing, assembly systems, and fastener manufacturing and inspection equipment.
The 2027 floor expands into the complementary lines distributors already buy and sell: springs and wire forms, retaining rings, precision components, threaded inserts and rivets. The aim is to cover more of your sourcing list in the same two days.
Most attendees cover the floor in a day. The online exhibitor directory and matchmaking recommendations let you line up the meetings that matter before you arrive, so a single day still delivers.
Once you register, you are matched with exhibitors carrying the products you told us you are looking for. Recommendations are based on your registration answers — they are not sponsored placements or advertising.
