Distributors, manufacturers, importers, reps and others will head to Las Vegas next month for the National Industrial Fastener Show/West, to be held at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, Nov. 12-14.

Billed as the world's largest fastener expo, the NIF Show/West will host some 5,000 fastener distributors, importers, manufacturers, independent sales reps, manufacturer's reps and others from across the United States and around the world, according to show organizers.

And this year's show will be even bigger, they say, as the spacious Mandalay Bay Convention Center—a new location for the annual event—offers more exhibit space. The key addition is a fastener machinery section that will showcase fastener-making machinery, tooling and dies.

The show includes a day of conferences on Monday, Nov. 12, followed by two days of exhibits. For more information, go to www.fastenershows.com.
