International Hardware Fair Italy is 
Ready for its 2027 Edition
Strong exhibitor interest, an expanded international buyer programme and enhanced 
matchmaking services set the stage for further growth.
Following the success of its previous 
edition, International Hardware Fair Italy 
is preparing to welcome the international 
hardware community back to Bergamo, 
Italy, on 5–6 May 2027. 
The event continues to attract increasing 
interest from across the industry, 
further establishing itself as a leading 
Italian platform where manufacturers, 
distributors and trade professionals can 
connect, exchange ideas and generate 
new business opportunities. 
The exhibition serves the hardware, 
building, DIY, industrial supply, electrical, 
garden and outdoor, and automotive 
sectors, bringing together companies and 
decision-makers from both established 
and emerging markets. 
The outstanding results achieved in 
2025 provide a solid foundation for 
the next edition. The exhibition hosted 
320 exhibitors from 22 countries and 
welcomed more than 5,600 trade visitors 
from 53 nations, including over 300 
international buyers. Throughout the 
two-day event, participants took part 
in more than 350 B2B meetings, while 
an extensive educational programme 
delivered over 16 conferences and 
workshops, offering valuable insights into 
market trends and industry developments.
 
These early results underline the 
exhibition’s growing international profile 
and its increasing ability to attract 
businesses from key global markets. 
Further strengthening the event’s 
business focus, Koelnmesse Italia and 
Collins, organiser of Buyer Point, will 
expand their collaboration to enhance 
the exhibition’s role in the hardware, DIY 
and garden market. The initiative will 
be complemented by an even stronger 
hosted buyer programme, designed 
to bring highly qualified buyers from 
Italy and abroad through targeted 
recruitment and promotional initiatives in 
strategic markets.
 
By combining international networking, 
tailored B2B meetings and high-quality 
educational content, International 
Hardware Fair Italy continues to reinforce 
its role as the leading event in Italy for 
the hardware and DIY sectors, providing 
companies with valuable opportunities to 
build partnerships, expand their business 
and explore new commercial prospects.
