EFDA President Volker Lederer will outline how European fastener distributors are working today and which challenges they face. He will focus on the European fastener market and identify the key trends which become particularly relevant for modern fastener distributors in the context of globalization and digitalization. Lobbying for free trade has become quality in the last years. Seminar guests will learn what the European Fastener Distributor Association does to defend free trade and the international competitiveness of its members: importers, wholesalers and distributors of fasteners from several European countries, united through their national associations under the umbrella of EFDA.
