FFG 2025

Korean Fastener Makers to Explore Growth Opportunities in European Market at FFG 2025

Fastener Fair Global 2025 (abbreviated as FFG2025), which will be held in Stuttgart, Germany, in March, is the largest international fastener exhibition in Europe. It is an important event, where the latest technologies and trends in the global fastener industry will be on display.
Held every two years in Stuttgart, Germany, FFG is an important platform where fastener-related manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and suppliers participate to showcase the latest products and technologies. They gather in one place to exchange knowledge, understand the latest trends, and build new partnerships. Since its inception in 2005, the number of exhibitors and quality European and overseas buyers has increased each time, thereby continuing FFG’s quantitative growth.

Germany’s share in the European fastener market and the purpose of participation by Korean companies
The Korean fastener industry is gradually growing in the European market. Germany is an important market that accounts for 25% of the entire European fastener import market. With Germany having the largest fastener market in Europe, fastener demand is continuously increasing in various industries such as automobiles, construction, machinery, and home appliances.
In particular, as the global automobile market is recovered rapidly after the COVID-19 pandemic, global automobile production was increased by about 10% in 2023, and Korea’s automobile exports also recorded the highest-ever level at $70.9 billion. In line with the increasing demand for eco-friendly cars (electric cars and hybrid cars), it is necessary for Korean producers to develop new special fastener products and strengthen marketing. Recently, as the domestic market slump has been prolonged, it is vital for them to actively expand exports and enter overseas markets.
In this context, FFG2025 is expected to be one of the most effective means for Korea’s highly competitive fastener companies to access the European market. It is considered to be an important opportunity for Korean companies to strengthen networking and improve business performance in the European and global markets, and it will be a good platform to gain insights into the latest industry trends in each country and promote Korea’s technological prowess.

KFFIC’s Operation of Korea Pavilion
The Korea Federation of Fastener Industry Cooperatives (KFFIC) is carrying out various support activities for the development of the Korean fastener industry, and will actively support the overseas expansion of Korean companies by operating the Korea Pavilion at this FFG2025.
The 10th FFG2025 will be held from March 25 to 27, 2025 at the Messe Stuttgart in Germany, and will progress in halls 1, 3, 5, and 7.
The Korea Pavilion organized by KFFIC will be operated in hall 7, and ten excellent Korean fastener manufacturers will participate to showcase their differentiated technologies and products.

The major Korean companies participating in this exhibition produce essential fastener products in various industries such as automobiles, electronics, and construction, and are recognized for their technologies and quality in the global market. Korean companies plan to develop differentiated strategies by introducing products that incorporate electric vehicles, eco-friendly technologies, and smart manufacturing technologies.
In particular, as FFG is the largest fastener exhibition in Europe, Korean participating companies are expected to meet major buyers from Germany and across Europe in person and create visible business opportunities.
