For the first time in its show history, the National Industrial Fastener & Mill Supply Expo (NIFMSE) has been named on the list of Trade Show News Network’s Trade (TSNN) Top 250 Trade Shows and Trade Show Executive’s (TSE) Fastest 50 Winners.

NIFMSE was also named one of 50’s fastest growing trade shows by TSE magazine in all three categories for 2016. The list comprised of the shows that had the highest levels of growth in total attendance, net square footage, and number of exhibiting companies in 2016.
