dmg events and Koelnmesse have partnered to bring the “EISENWARENMESSE – International Hardware Fair” to Saudi Arabia for the very first time. Building on the success of Koelnmesse’s flagship event in Cologne, Germany, the newly launched International Hardware Fair Saudi Arabia will take place 16-18 June 2025 at the Riyadh International Convention & Exhibition Centre (RICEC).
With visitor registrations now open, the event is poised to position Saudi Arabia as a key player in the global hardware and tools industry, offering a strategic gateway to the Kingdom’s rapidly expanding $10.39 billion market. Spanning over 7,800 sqm of exhibition space, the inaugural edition will welcome over 200 exhibitors from more than 25 countries, including Saudi Arabia, Germany, China, India, Italy, the UAE, Qatar, and Greece.
As the nation accelerates efforts to become a global business and investment hub, the International Hardware Fair Saudi Arabia will unite manufacturers, distributors, and decision-makers to cater for the concrete demand and to exchange ideas on innovations, explore emerging technologies, and drive sustainable growth.
“The launch of International Hardware Fair Saudi Arabia marks an exciting milestone for dmg events as we partner with Koelnmesse, reflecting a shared commitment to supporting the Kingdom’s industrial advancement and enabling companies to build valuable connections in line with Vision 2030,” said Muhammed Kazi, Senior Vice President – Construction, dmg events.
The event will serve as a leading trade platform for the tools, hardware, and DIY supplies sector in the Kingdom – providing visitors with the opportunity to explore partnerships with top manufacturers and suppliers, discover the latest product innovations, and tap into the expanding Saudi Arabian market. From construction and real estate to logistics and consulting, the show will attract a wide spectrum of industry professionals all exploring the latest in industrial equipment, safety gear, fasteners, and more, while building valuable relationships that contribute to long-term prospects.
“It's quite interesting to see such an international fair happening in Saudi Arabia. This fair has been happening in Cologne for many years and I've visited it numerous times, looking for specialties, high-quality products, new partnerships, and exploring new lines of business. To see this happening in the local market is a significant advantage for the economy and the industry itself,” said Abdallah Katerji, General Manager, Albawardi Tools & Hardware. “Since the hardware and tools business is quite specialised, where knowledge is incredibly important and is something that you need to continuously strive for, having such fairs happening locally will definitely improve this experience.”
International Hardware Fair Saudi Arabia will be co-located with FSB Sports Show Riyadh. For more information and to register for the event, visit the website.
