Get ready for an electrifying start as the National Hardware Show (NHS), North America's premier professional hardware exhibition, bursts into action on March 26, 2024! This annual spectacle is a magnet for hardware distributors, dealers, retailers, and wholesalers nationwide, cementing its status as the largest and most crucial hardware showcase in the country. Economic Daily News/CENS is poised to orchestrate an exhibitor group, bridging top-notch Taiwanese suppliers with global buyers, igniting fresh business opportunities at this dynamic event.

The NHS stands as a historic and monumental gathering, renowned as the largest professional hardware and hand tools show in the United States. It serves as a vital platform where manufacturers, distributors, and retailers in the hardware and hand tools industry converge to share the latest industry news and trends. Notably, the NHS attracts the attention of the top three home repair chains in the United States, drawing heavyweight buyers from traditional hardware and hand tools stores, online retailers, and renowned outlets eager to explore the latest commodities.

Taiwan has emerged as the leading exporter of hand tools to the U.S., offering a diverse range of products such as box wrenches, hand tool kits, wrenches (both fixed and adjustable), pliers, garden tools, and more. The combination of high quality and competitive pricing of Taiwan's hardware-related products has consistently attracted robust demand in the global market. This trend has solidified Taiwan's position as the top preference for international buyers seeking reliable and affordable hardware products.

Taiwan boasts a robust local industrial chain encompassing upstream, midstream, and downstream supply chains, along with synergistic facilities for forging, heat treatment, electroplating, and more. China Steel Corporation (CSC) in Kaohsiung City plays a crucial role by supplying top-quality raw materials to Taiwan's hardware industry, particularly fasteners and hand tool manufacturers. This partnership not only propels the industry towards higher value but also nurtures numerous invisible champions who have earned Taiwan global renown. Notable examples include the fastener industry cluster in North Kaohsiung, the hand tool industry cluster in Taichung City, and the plumbing industry cluster in Changhua County.

Economic Daily News/CENS will be present at NHS (Booth W4172), distributing the latest editions of "Taiwan Hand Tools" and "Taiwan Industrial Suppliers (TIS)" to aid buyers in staying updated on suppliers and industry trends. Moreover, CENS' publication team offers a "Real-Time Business Opportunity Matching Service" using an e-matching system and on-site experts to swiftly and accurately connect high-quality Taiwanese suppliers with international buyers. This service has garnered positive feedback since its inception.
