TOOLS & HARDWARE KENYA Nairobi

TOOLS & HARDWARE KENYA is East Africa’s leading trade fair for tools, machinery, materials, hardware, and industrial services. Held annually at the prestigious Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) in the heart of Nairobi, it takes place at one of the most important exhibition and conference venues on the African continent. The event is organized by the internationally renowned Expo Group UAE, known for its successful industrial trade fairs worldwide.

The exhibition serves as a central platform for exchange between manufacturers, suppliers, decision-makers, and professionals from various sectors—including mechanical engineering, construction, automotive, agriculture, and electrical engineering. TOOLS & HARDWARE KENYA goes far beyond a conventional product showcase: it provides a comprehensive view of the entire industrial value chain while addressing current challenges and market developments in the East African region.

Its extensive product range includes standard and specialized tools, precision measuring and testing technologies, as well as modern electric and pneumatic tools. Further key areas include industrial automation, woodworking and metalworking, scaffolding, hydraulic systems, and occupational safety equipment. More than just an exhibition space, the fair serves as a hub for innovation, technology, and future-oriented partnerships.

As part of an international trade fair series by the Expo Group UAE, TOOLS & HARDWARE KENYA combines global standards with a strong regional focus. It is specifically tailored to meet the needs and tap into the growth potential of East Africa’s industrial sector—thereby reinforcing Nairobi’s position as a key economic and technological hub in the region.

Event highlights include exclusive product launches, hands-on live demonstrations, and expert forums and panel discussions featuring both local and international industry leaders. Exhibitors primarily represent the fields of toolmaking, mechanical and plant engineering, metrology, logistics, construction, and automation technology. Trade visitors come mainly from the industrial, commercial, construction, infrastructure, agriculture, and technical services sectors.

The venue – the Kenyatta International Convention Centre – impresses not only with its architectural significance but also with its central location and excellent accessibility. It is just minutes away from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and conveniently connected to hotels, restaurants, and key transport hubs.

TOOLS & HARDWARE KENYA is therefore more than just a trade fair – it is a strategic meeting point for the innovators and decision-makers shaping the future in one of the world’s most dynamic growth regions.

This year the TOOLS & HARDWARE KENYA takes place on 3 days from Wed., 03.06.2026 to Fri., 05.06.2026 in Nairobi already for the 6th time.
