After the 2017 record-breaking edition, Hardware
Forum, the trade fair and conference of the
hardware industry, will be back from 19- 20
September 2018 at Mi.Co, Milano Centro
Congressi.
Many novelties are expected for the fourth
edition of the event that is increasing its strategic
importance in the Italian market every year.
The Italian market of the hardware industry
differs from the rest of Europe due to its
distribution structure and its sales channels;
hardware stores still represent 64% of the total
value, while large-scale retailing, both specialized
and non-specialized, represents 33% of this value
and e-commerce the remaining 3%, a rapidly
growing value. The industry generates revenues of
approximately 10 billion and can rely on 11,000
sales points, as well as paint shops, building
material stores, stores selling technical tools,
for a total of 40,000 stores that sell hardware
products and related services.
Hardware Forum will be held in the North Pavilion
of Mi.Co, a functional area, close to Bricoday
pavilion. The two pavilions are directly connected,
to offer the market a single great event.
Exhibitors will have the chance to meet a
numerous, qualifi ed and diversifi ed audience,
while visitors will benefi t from a complete offer
of commercial proposals. This is precisely the
strongpoint of the event: Hardware Forum, thanks
also to the partnership with Bricoday, is the
only multichannel event in the Italian hardware
industry and it is able to bring together in a
single event the different distribution channels:
traditional, professional, e-commerce and large-
scale retailing.
