Eurasia’s Premier Exhibition for Fasteners, Fittings, and Tooling
The 5th International Exhibition of Fasteners and Tooling, Fastenex 2027, will take place in October 2027 at the Crocus Expo International Exhibition Centre in Moscow. The event is held concurrently with Weldex, Russia’s largest welding technology exhibition, creating a powerful cross-industry platform for industrial professionals.

As one source notes, “Having the right technical voices in one hall turns initial conversations into actionable plans—faster”.
Business Programme
Fastenex 2026 features a comprehensive business programme designed to address current industry challenges. The 2025 edition hosted the first “Russian Fastener” conference, covering production trends, online trade development, domestic construction fastener manufacturing, and import strategies. Topics for 2026 are expected to include market trends, import substitution, production localisation, procurement digitalisation, and the development prospects of the fastener industry in Russia and the CIS. All business programme events are free to attend with an exhibition ticket.
Why Fastenex Matters in the Current Market
The Eurasian industrial fasteners market is undergoing significant transformation. With shifts in global supply chains and reduced imports from traditional European suppliers, industries across the region are actively seeking new international partners for fasteners and industrial components. Governments are also prioritising the localisation of industrial components, offering incentives such as reduced import duties, tax benefits, and support for establishing local production facilities.
The region produces approximately 359,000 tonnes of various fasteners annually (2023 data), marking a 24% increase compared to the previous year. This growth trajectory underscores the expanding demand for reliable fastening solutions across construction, infrastructure, and industrial development projects.
