Trade show expects nearly 50 per cent more exhibitors

More than 250 exhibitors have already registered for the Taiwan International Tools & Hardware Expo (TITE) in the first half of 2023. The event, which was launched in 2022, will be held from 4 to 6 October 2023 in Taichung. More than 70 per cent of previous exhibitors have agreed to return, organiser Lanza International says. Around 350 exhibitors are expected. This represents a 49 per cent increase in the number of participating exhibitors compared to last year, and a 37.3 per cent increase in exhibition space.

The show consists of seven exhibition areas, namely: tools and related accessories; automotive parts, repair tools and maintenance equipment; fasteners and fixings; garden, outdoor, agricultural and DIY; metal testing equipment, processing equipment and industrial safety; building and locks; industrial software and digital transformation.

Accompanying the show is the Taiwan International Hardware Industry Summit Forum trade conference. Topics include strategies for positioning high-end hardware tools in the global market, AI-integrated manufacturing technologies, and the "three carbon issues" (carbon neutrality, carbon emissions, and carbon footprint verification).
Numerous Taiwanese institutions and associations are supporting the show. For international buyers, the organisers are offering a financial support system and special travel arrangements.
