ExpoFerretera Buenos Aires

The ExpoFerretera is South America’s leading trade fair for hardware, construction materials, and industrial supplies. Since 1993, it has been held every two years, attracting trade visitors from across Latin America and beyond. The event is organized by Messe Frankfurt Argentina S.A. in close cooperation with CAFARA, the Argentine Chamber for Home Improvement Stores and Related Products – a team with deep industry knowledge and decades of exhibition expertise.

More than just a product showcase, the fair is positioned as a strategically designed business-to-business platform that brings together all key players in the value chain – from manufacturers and wholesalers to retailers. While end consumers may also attend, the primary focus is on professionals who come to discover new products, establish business contacts, and strengthen existing partnerships.

With its new venue at La Rural Predio Ferial, one of Buenos Aires’ most modern exhibition centers, ExpoFerretera offers excellent infrastructure, a central location, and easy accessibility. These advantages create ideal conditions for efficient visits and international networking. Hosting the fair further underlines Buenos Aires’ importance as an economic hub and gateway to South American markets.

The exhibition covers the full scope of the industry, extending far beyond traditional hardware. Key sectors include tools of all kinds, fastening technology, building fittings, plumbing and heating installations, household goods, gardening equipment, electrical materials, industrial machinery, paints and coatings, as well as automotive accessories. This wide range makes ExpoFerretera highly relevant for professionals in construction, retail, manufacturing, and the trades.

A particular highlight is the extensive supporting program, which goes well beyond standard product presentations. Live demonstrations, expert lectures, conferences, and targeted matchmaking sessions encourage knowledge sharing, professional development, and long-term business relations. The combination of hands-on product experiences, structured networking opportunities, and a welcoming atmosphere – including outdoor spaces with food and hospitality – turns ExpoFerretera into a trade fair experience with real added value.

The ExpoFerretera in Buenos Aires took place from Wednesday, 22. October to Saturday, 25. October 2025.
