Hardware Expo Africa 2027 is a professional trade show for the hardware and building accessories industry, held in Nairobi, Kenya, bringing manufacturers and consumers along the hardware value chain onto one platform and covering industry information and knowledge sharing, analysis of short- and medium-to-long-term market dynamics, and discussion of industry issues.

The exhibition provides a central showcase for the hardware industry, presenting product areas including architectural hardware, door and window fittings, locks, glass hardware, and kitchen, bathroom and furniture fittings, with zones covering furniture and home soft furnishings, profiles and surface coating, bathroom and kitchen, and doors, windows and building accessories.

The exhibition is aimed at importers, distributors, building contractors, project consultants, furniture and cabinet manufacturers, government construction bodies and engineering procurement teams. Housing and construction demand continues to grow in Kenya and East Africa, with a housing shortfall of around 2 million units providing market space for hardware and building material products, and the exhibition offers exhibitors a setting to showcase products, expand channels and connect with procurement.

The exhibition welcomes around 4000 visitors, with exhibitors from 5 countries and visitors from 8 countries. It emphasises product display, channel development and procurement matchmaking in the East African market, and suits companies in hardware, door and window fittings, locks, glass hardware, kitchen and bathroom, and furniture fittings seeking to develop construction and home market channels in East Africa.
