Why Visit International Fastener Show China 2027?

EBNER's technologies have traditionally been showcased at specialized events serving the steel and aluminum industries. At IFS 2027, EBNER Group and AET will make their first joint appearance at a dedicated fastener exhibition, bringing advanced thermal processing technologies directly to the fastener and wire industry. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore solutions for upstream wire heat treatment, equipment selection, process optimization and energy-efficient manufacturing.

For fastener manufacturers, the quality of material heat treatment has a direct impact on subsequent forming processes and final product performance. Through controlled atmospheres and precise temperature control, EBNER and AET's solutions can help improve spheroidization, cold heading performance and material consistency, while reducing risks associated with decarburization, structural defects and premature die wear.

From the efficient STC furnace technology of AET to EBNER's HICON/H₂ bell-type furnace solutions, the technical teams will be available at the show to discuss equipment selection and process requirements based on specific material grades, dimensions, production capacity and operating conditions.

As the global fastener industry moves toward higher performance, greater efficiency and greener manufacturing, consistent material quality and advanced heat treatment technology are becoming increasingly important.

Visit Booth H1-1365 at IFS 2027 to meet the EBNER Group and AET teams, discuss your heat treatment challenges and explore new opportunities for improving quality, efficiency and energy performance. Whether you are looking to reduce cold-heading cracks, improve spheroidization or explore practical energy-saving solutions, we look forward to welcoming you in Shanghai!
