We participated in EISENWARENMESSE – International Hardware Fair 2026, held this March in Cologne, Germany, a key global event for the hardware and DIY industry.

This year’s fair continued to serve as an important platform for industry exchange, bringing together manufacturers, suppliers, and professionals from around the world. However, overall visitor attendance did not meet expectations compared to previous editions. The ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East had a noticeable impact, with the absence of visitors from the region and a general decline in attendance from several international markets.

Despite these challenges, the event still provided valuable opportunities for engagement. While foot traffic was lower, discussions at the fair were more focused and in-depth, allowing for meaningful exchanges with visitors who attended.

We thank all partners and visitors who took the time to connect with us and look forward to future opportunities to engage with the industry under more favorable conditions.
