ABOUT THE FAIR
Since its inception in 2000, the Taiwan Hardware Show (THS) has established itself as a preeminent B2B platform that brings together manufacturers of high-quality hardware products and professional buyers for whom quality is essential. THS is synonymous with an event that represents the pulse of the hardware industry in Taiwan and serves as a bridge for international collaborations.
Even though the location of the show may vary, it remains firmly rooted in the industrial region of Taichung, a pivotal hardware cluster in Taiwan. This city is not only a hotspot for business activities but also a place that upholds innovation and quality in hardware production. The annually held trade show serves as a platform for exchange among international buyers, retailers, distributors, and hardware dealers, as well as sought-after Taiwanese manufacturers, by connecting hardware companies and enabling them to showcase their products to an international audience and forge relations with buyers on the global market.
THS is organized by Kaigo Co., Ltd., a company known not only for organizing trade fairs but also for creating business connections both domestically and abroad. The main focus of the exhibition lies in the presentation of high-tech innovations and quality products across various hardware categories. It is divided into eight core product categories: power tools, tools and accessories, locks and fittings, fasteners and fittings, building supplies, plumbing fittings, garden and outdoor equipment, as well as automotive supplies and accessories, machinery and plant equipment, and safety equipment and products.
The products and services presented at the show are both broad and specialized, covering the entire spectrum of the hardware industry, with particular emphasis on global quality standards and innovative technologies. A highlight of the show are the presented winners of various design awards, such as the Good Design Award and the Red Dot Design, which underline the innovative power and design competence of the exhibitors.
Exhibitors largely come from the hardware industry and related sectors, while visitors mainly consist of international buyers, retailers, distributors, and dealers. THS acts as the sole platform in Taiwan that welcomes these actors in a specialized setting and offers effective business-matching services.
Despite its specific focus, THS maintains a global orientation, reflected not only in its international audience but also in its commitment to connecting Taiwanese manufacturers with the global market.
In conclusion, it should be emphasized that THS is not only a platform for conducting business but also enables intensive exchange of cross-sectoral information. Various forum sessions and the opportunity to directly network with international speakers provide deep insights into global market trends and developments. Regarding the exhibition location, regardless of the specific locale, attention is always paid to ensuring it is easily accessible and equipped with the necessary infrastructures for a successful show.
The THS Taiwan Hardware Show will take place on 3 days from Tuesday, 20. October to Thursday, 22. October 2026 in Taipei.
