Torque-Expo

WHAT THE EXHIBITORS SAID

This year’s show saw some of the best known fastener,
tool and fixing companies in the business exhibit. Here
are some of them in their own words…

Brit-Pax – Martin Jefferys

General Manager

“Torque-­Expo ‘24 exceeded our expectations, good business was done and good quality new contacts made; overall a very decent show and well worth exhibiting. We were very pleased with the fairly constant flow of visitors in hall and met with not just existing contacts but also many new ones – the quality of visitor was just what we would want from a trade
show. This event was the perfect platform to demonstrate our products, particularly our British Made grab­case® which generated plenty of genuine enquiries.”

Hydrajaws – Michelle Cross

Marketing Co-Ordinator

“Brilliant B2B Expo, we gained some great contacts and had the added bonus of winning the prestigious Product Innovation of the Year – Tools Award – thank you to everyone for a well­ organised enjoyable event.”

Tite-Fix – Richard Rhodes,

Managing Director

“Fantastic event in an easy to get to location. It was great to see so many
customers in attendance and as is the key with this kind of event, we left with some solid leads. The Torque Expo team were a pleasure to deal with, as always, and the organisation and timings of the event over a one­-day period ensured a busy day. Looking forward to the next one.”

Apex Stainless Fasteners – Jason Lloyd

E-Commerce Marketing Manager

“This year’s Torque­-Expo event was well organised and provided Apex
Stainless Fasteners good opportunities to engage with our customers, industry contacts and prospects. The support provided by the team at Torque and their supporting partners was of a high standard, and we look forward to
discussing any future events with the Torque team.”

Fabory UK – Scott Hayfield

Sales Manager

“The Torque­-Expo was a fantastic opportunity to develop relationships with a large number of existing and new customers, whilst also being able to demonstrate how Fabory continue to be the Masters in Fasteners.”

Optimas – Simon Wright

Marketing Director

“Another fantastic Torque­-Expo and networking event that provided us with
the chance to interact and make vital connections within the fastener industry. A well­ attended event with useful and educational seminars that offered content for everyone. It was also great to see people recognised for their contribution to the industry at the Awards event in the evening. We look forward to continuing to support the Torque-­Expo in future years.”

Scell-it

“Torque-Expo ‘24 ignited new leads and deepened relationships with existing customers. We fostered strong connections, gained valuable insights, and generated interest in Scell­it’s products and services.”

Smartfix

“Our recent visit to Torque-­Expo proved highly beneficial for our company. The Expo facilitated valuable networking opportunities, enabling us to establish connections with key industry professionals and potential suppliers, which could lead to strategic partnerships and better procurement options. The educational seminars provided insights into market trends and best practices, equipping us with knowledge to stay competitive and innovative. Overall, Torque-Expo significantly contributed to our strategic growth and operational efficiency.

Owlett-Jaton

Plenty to talk about at Torque-Expo “Once again, Owlett­-Jaton had a large presence at Torque-­Expo, which was well received by a strong attendance. It is a fantastic platform for us to reach out and engage with our current ­ and prospective customers alike. Having the opportunity to network face­-to-­face in one place in one day with so many people is one not to be missed. We took advantage to display new product lines that we have recently introduced to the mix, including two new screw types to the Vortex® family of high­-performance woodscrews. Throughout the event, we had our JRP (Jaton Riveting Products) Technical Support Specialist, Warren Keeley, giving live demonstrations, showcasing the features and benefits of the rivets, rivet nuts, as well as the tooling options which was well­-received by visitors. The success didn’t end there, though. The Torque networking evening event also went down a storm from our perspective. The event included an awards presentation, highlighting the industry’s latest developments and achievements in a variety of categories, where Owlett­-Jaton excelled ­ we picked up no fewer than three awards! The JRP brand was awarded ‘Highly Commended in the Product Innovation –Tools’ category, for our range of lightweight battery-­powered tooling for setting rivets and rivet nuts. We went on to scoop the ‘Highly Commended in the Employee Engagement Initiative of the Year’ category at the Torque Awards with ‘Connected’ – our newly acclaimed employee engagement platform. We were also awarded the ‘Outstanding Industry Achievement Award’, in recognition of our colleague Phil Hawtin, who has achieved over forty years in the industry and will soon retire from his role as Commercial Manager.”
