Registration is now open for the twelfth edition of the international Conference & Exhibition dedicated to the steel industry.
In a European market that is showing signs of stabilization after difficult years, the event confirms itself as a strategic platform for business and discussion between operators in the sector.
The exhibition space sales campaign for Made in Steel 2027 , the international event dedicated to the steel industry, has officially begun. Scheduled for May 11, 12, and 13 at Fiera Milano , the event is organized by siderweb in conjunction with Fiera Milano. Interested companies can reserve their space at an event that, year after year, has established itself as an international reference point for steel producers, distributors, traders, service centers, processors, and users. An "Early Bird" option will also be available for exhibitors who book by June 19.
The twelfth edition of Made in Steel presents itself with a renewed layout and expanded spaces in pavilions 8, 12 and 16 , designed to welcome an ever-increasing number of companies and promote visibility, networking and business opportunities along the entire steel supply chain.
Following the growth of the 2025 edition, which attracted over 19,000 attendees and nearly 400 companies from all over the world, Made in Steel is looking to 2027 with the aim of further consolidating its role as a European platform for discussion, innovation, and development for the sector.
"The opening of sales represents the first step towards an edition that aims to position the Italian steel industry in an even more international and business-oriented context," said Made in Steel CEO Paolo Morandi. "In a period of profound transformation for the European steel industry, the biennial event aims to be a place where companies, institutions, and stakeholders can meet to develop new growth opportunities and jointly address the challenges of competitiveness and industrial transition."
In addition to the exhibition area, Made in Steel 2027 will also offer a rich program of conferences, round tables, and in-depth discussions dedicated to key topics in the steel industry: market dynamics, regulations, technological innovation, sustainability and the circular economy, geopolitics, and industrial competitiveness.
The market context: between first signs of recovery and new competitive challenges
The opening of registrations for Made in Steel 2027 comes at a particularly significant time for the European steel market.
After three consecutive years of declining demand, the sector is showing signs of stabilization, despite a still highly uncertain environment. According to Eurofer's latest Economic and Steel Market Outlook, apparent steel consumption in the European Union is expected to return to growth in 2026, albeit at a moderate pace, supported by a gradual improvement in industrial activity and investment. However, demand levels remain lower than those recorded before the pandemic, and factors such as high energy costs, geopolitical tensions, and growing competitive pressure from non-European imports continue to weigh on demand.
In Italy, the European Union's second-largest steel producer after Germany, companies in the supply chain are undergoing a transition phase that requires significant investments in energy efficiency, digitalization, and decarbonization. At the same time, strengthening strategic sectors such as construction, infrastructure, energy, and advanced manufacturing could help sustain demand in the coming years.

Fastener fair italy 2026: less than a month before the start, the sector is present with over 200 co
With less than a month to go until the opening, Fastener Fair Italy 2026 is already boasting impressive numbers: over 200 exhibiting companies have confirmed their participation in the fifth edition of the event, scheduled for June 24 and 25 at CityLife – Allianz MiCo in Milan. Returning exhibitors include Achilles Seibert, Ambrovit, Bontempi VIBO, Bralo Italia, DIV GROUP, Fastbolt, Flaig + Hommel, Inox Viti, Milani Enrico, Profiroll Technologies, R+FK Schulte, Rotor Clip, Strubl, The Magni Group, and Yuyao Alfirste Hardware, a concrete sign of the industry's confidence in the event. A point of reference for manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors, and end users, the trade show covers the entire fastening systems supply chain: from fasteners and bolts (both industrial and construction) to assembly and installation systems, through production technologies, storage and distribution equipment, and information and communication services. This broad scope is designed to reflect the transversality of a sector that touches virtually every industrial segment. "We can't wait to open the doors to this fifth edition. The exhibitors' response confirms that, even in a challenging time for the European industry, the value of direct contact remains irreplaceable: this is where the ideas, partnerships, and opportunities that drive the market are born," says Stephanie Cerri, Events Director of Fastener Fair Italy. The fastening systems industry is undergoing profound transformation. The pressures of recent years, from geopolitical tensions to raw material volatility to the redefinition of supply chains, have pushed manufacturers and suppliers to accelerate the adoption of more efficient and resilient solutions. The results are visible: fastening systems integrated with sensors for real-time performance monitoring, new alloys and composite materials that combine lightness and strength, increasingly automated production lines where digitalization is no longer a future goal but a concrete reality. In this scenario, direct contact with manufacturers and innovators is valuable beyond any catalog or technical sheet. With approximately 3,700 professionals expected to attend, Fastener Fair Italy 2026 offers the concentration of expertise, products, and decision-makers needed to navigate a rapidly evolving market. The exhibitor directory, already available online, allows you to plan your visit in advance, identify the most relevant suppliers, and arrange targeted meetings. To support the event's visibility, a consolidated network of international media partners—Expometals, Fasten.it, Fastener + Fixing Magazine, Fastener World, Galvanotecnica, and Italy Export, among others—help keep the global industry community connected well beyond the two-day event.
