HCM CITY — The 9th Vietnam International Exhibition on Hardware and Hand Tools (VHHE 2024) is set to take place from December 5 to 7 at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC) in HCM City.

This prominent event continues to establish itself as a key exhibition for mechanics and supporting industries in Vietnam, fostering connections within the business community, promoting local consumption, and enhancing participation in the global supply chain.

The expo will feature nearly 400 exhibitors from 15 countries, showcasing over 1,000 products, including renowned brands like Sata Tools, Patta, Wera, and Thanh Bình Paintbrush. With 450 booths occupying over 6,000 sqm, the exhibition will highlight five main categories: Tools, Power Tools, Fasteners, Building Hardware, and Supporting Industries, all relevant to sectors like engineering, manufacturing, construction, and DIY.

A notable highlight of VHHE 2024 is the Vietnam Industrial Supporting Fair (VSIF), organised by the HCM Centre for Supporting Industries Development. This concurrent event will showcase components from local small and medium enterprises, along with products from companies awarded the HCM City Golden Brand Award.

Business networking

The VHHE & VSIF 2024 will feature a series of industry-specific seminars focused on market trends and policies, providing attendees the chance to gain insights and engage with leading experts. A three-day B2B Networking Conference will facilitate direct one-on-one discussions, allowing businesses and representatives from the supply side to connect with potential partners and stay updated on market dynamics.

The exhibition will include an Industrial Park Tour, designed to encourage partnerships and technology transfer between local enterprises and foreign direct investment (FDI) companies, as well as large global enterprises.

Beyond catering to the business sector, VHHE & VSIF 2024 will also attract tool and home improvement enthusiasts through the “DIY Challenge Giveaway” at the DIY Workshop area. Participants will have the opportunity to engage in the creative process of crafting DIY products from wood, using tools and machinery showcased at the exhibition. This hands-on experience not only fosters creativity but also allows attendees to interact with the latest products and innovations in the industry.

This event series will concurrently take place with the 22nd Vietnam International Trade Fair in HCM City (VIETNAM EXPO HCMC 2024), organised by VINEXAD, a leading exhibition organiser in Việt Nam. — VNS
