A positive atmosphere

The first National Hardware Show to be staged in Las Vegas generated a very positive response, to judge by the reactions of exhibitors, visitors and organizers. The success of the event is being hailed as a clear victory over the rival AHMA Hardware Show in Chicago. Reed Exhibitions, the organizer of the Las Vegas show, was quick to point out that the 2 303 exhibitors included around 600 companies that were exhibiting for the first time or returning to the NHS after a long absence. A large number of suppliers have stated that they will be coming to Las Vegas again next year.
