About Fastener Fair Global
Fastener Fair Global, the international exhibition for the fastener and fixing industry held every two years in Stuttgart, returns to Messe Stuttgart for its 11th edition from Tuesday 6 to Thursday 8 April 2027.
Organised by RX, it is the flagship of the Fastener Fair series and covers the whole supply chain, from industrial and construction fasteners and fixings to assembly and installation systems, fastener manufacturing technology, storage and distribution. Distributors, wholesalers, engineers and buyers come from construction, automotive, aerospace, energy, electronics, furniture, plumbing and many other sectors.
The 2025 edition was the largest yet, with around 1,000 exhibitors and some 11,000 trade visitors from 84 countries across 52,400 square metres. New for 2027 are a Product Spotlight Zone, a Hand Tool Pavilion, a VIP Zone and a matchmaking programme.
For Fastener Fair hotels in Stuttgart, the exhibition centre sits about 200 metres from the airport terminals, so the airport and fair cluster is closest, while Stuttgart-Mitte and the Hauptbahnhof area are 27 minutes away on the S-Bahn. This page shows live rates for your dates; visitor registration is separate and handled by the organiser.
