UK manufacturers will this year again be represented by group stands run by their trade association, the BHHMA (British Hardware & Housewares Manufacturers’ Association) at DIY and hardware trade fairs. As well as the International Hardware Fair/Practical World in Cologne, their association is organising representation at the AHMA Hardware Show in Chicago, USA (18 to 20 April), the Hardware & Housewares Show in Dubai (16 to 19 May), the National Hardware Show in Las Vegas, USA (10 to 12 May) and Ferroforma at Bilbao in Spain (23 to 26 September). What is more, the Federation of British Hand Tool Manufacturers is also organising a group stand of its own at Cologne with around 40 participating companies.
