Economic Daily News Powers Global Connections at APS and NHS 2025
2025/02/18 | By CENS
The Asia-Pacific Sourcing (APS) in Cologne and the National Hardware Show (NHS) in Las Vegas, two premier events in the hardware industry, are set to showcase leading suppliers from around the globe in 2025. As key platforms for innovation and networking, these exhibitions are expected to draw extensive participation from top-tier manufacturers and buyers. Economic Daily News (CENS) will once again be at the forefront, attending both events to ensure seamless information exchange across the industry.
The biennial APS, scheduled for March 11-13, 2025, will take place at the Koelnmesse Fairgrounds in Köln-Deutz. Recognized as Europe’s largest sourcing platform outside Asia, APS serves as a vital meeting point for connecting Asian suppliers with the growing demands of European and North American markets. This event highlights a diverse range of product segments including tools, building and DIY supplies/DIY, barbecues, camping, garden equipment and lifestyle in the garden, and industry services.
Following APS, the National Hardware Show (NHS) will be held from March 18-20, 2025, continuing its legacy as a cornerstone of the home improvement market. Since its inception in New York during the post-World War II housing boom, NHS has evolved through the decades, now firmly established in Las Vegas. The 2025 edition will spotlight an expansive array of product categories, including building materials, electrical equipment, farm supplies, tools, homewares, lawn and garden items, BBQ & grill products, storage solutions, PPE, and even sporting goods and specialty items.
As a long-standing exhibitor at both events, Economic Daily News/CENS offers unique business matchmaking services, enabling buyers to connect with premium Taiwanese suppliers who may not be attending in person. Through simple information-sharing with CENS, buyers can discover high-quality sourcing opportunities, bridging gaps and fostering collaboration.
CENS will also feature its industry-focused publications, including "Taiwan Hand Tools" and "Taiwan Industrial Suppliers (TIS)", specially curated to provide buyers with a comprehensive view of the latest offerings from Taiwan’s hardware sector.
