NMBS, the UK buying society for independent builders, plumbers, hardware, timber, engineering, and industrial merchants, will host 280 exhibitors at its exhibition between 10 and 11 April.
The exhibition, held at the Coventry Building Society Arena, will feature suppliers offering different products, substantial exhibition rebates, discounts and promotions.
For example, the exhibition will offer a range of products that reduce water damage risks, including Setcrete’s Fast-Track Primer DMP, which creates a moisture barrier on screeds and concrete. Other products include Unilin Flooring’s waterproof engineered wood flooring and Toolsaver’s SR Timber Batten Shield, which protects batten cut ends from water damage, frost and microbial growth.
Regarding flood protection, Fernco, a specialist supplier of products for drainage, plumbing, and water management, will offer flood bags, anti-flood air brick and air brick covers. These are practical alternatives to sandbags and provide a quick and effective defence against rising water levels.
Multilayer pipe manufacturer Henco will display its water monitoring and management system, which offers real-time tracking of water usage and leaks and has automatic shut-off functionality to reduce damage.
DURO Yokota is set to introduce a new range of vacuum-brazed diamond core drills, designed for faster, cleaner drilling with reduced machine wear and minimal dust. Flex Tools will also unveil a super lightweight cordless palm sander for ceilings and walls aimed at reducing user fatigue and streamlining the sanding process.
The NMBS Exhibition provides an invaluable platform for merchants to connect with leading manufacturers and distributors in a dynamic yet informal setting.
Building on the success of 2024, which featured 280 exhibitors and attracted over 1,100 member attendees, NMBS 2025 promises another year of productive networking and deal-making. Last year, members benefited from up to 15% exhibition rebates, with over 15,000 interactions recorded between members and exhibitors.
