Hardware manufacturer Maco Door and Window Hardware (UK) has joined the 10-year-anniversary line up for Fit Show 2023 – a UK trade show dedicated for the window, door, glass, hardware and components sectors. Fit Show is to take place from 23 to 25 May 2023, at Birmingham’s NEC.
The Maco team joins Fit Show for its 10th anniversary event, having exhibited at Fit Show’s launch instalment in 2013, and five subsequent editions over the past decade. The hardware solutions specialist is set to occupy a stand space that promises something different to the norm.
Of the decision to support Fit Show 2023, Kevin Whiting, Maco’s MD, said: “There is so much synergy between our own journey of innovation over the last 10 years and that of Fit Show’s. We share a lot of the same values.
“Our new product development has aligned with our presence at Fit Show across the years, from door solutions such as the Z-TA which has evolved into the A-TS automatic door lock, as well as M-Spag to the MKV platform. We’re proud to support Fit Show 2023 and will be bringing a range of solutions that really will see a step change in true innovation for the industry, all presented in a very exciting format.
“It’s always important for us to Connect, or, as we would say, MaConnect, with the market face-to-face. Fit Show is the ideal platform for us to do just that.
“We’ve got exciting plans in store for our return to Fit Show. All will be revealed in the run up to the event at the NEC next May!”
Nickie West, Fit Show’s event director, added: “Maco embodies everything that Fit Show stands for as the UK’s number one event for the fenestration industry. We have watched the brand grow with us over the years and I am truly excited to see what they have in store for our celebratory event in May.
“The word ‘innovation’ can often be batted about too easily but together with our exhibitors, we have been able to showcase the very best that the window, door, glass, hardware and components industry has to offer – all under one roof. I’d like to extend a very warm welcome back to Kevin and the Maco team. See you at Fit!”
The floorplan for Fit Show’s seventh instalment has significant support from across the fenestration industry in recent months. The line up includes heritage brands that have had a presence at every show, as well as returning and new brands.
Maco is set to join the likes of Haffner, ODL, Cortizo, Morley Glass & Glazing, Made For Trade and Glazpart. The 2023 lineup also includes debut brands: Brett Martin, Düspohl Maschinenbau GmbH, Metsa Wood, Security Doors Factory, AlloTools, Technal UK, Caribbean Blinds, Atech Makine, Kozza Raling and Schtec Makine.
Fit Show aims to bring every link in the fenestration supply chain together under one roof, across three days. Exhibitors include representatives of fabricators, systems houses and suppliers of leading products and services across window, door, flat glass, hardware and components sectors.
The Fit Show will continue to follow a biennial frequency, placing the show in Fensterbau Frontale’s ‘off year’. The May 2023 edition is planned to be followed by Fit Show 2025, and then to return every other year thereafter.
