2027 Hardlines Supplier Event

Hardlines Supplier Event (HSE) is an in-person supplier discovery and sourcing matchmaking event for the hardlines and durable consumer goods industry, connecting buyers and sourcing teams with global manufacturers, private-label partners and retail-ready inventors, accelerating product discovery and new product launch.

Exhibits and capabilities cover 35 hardlines and durable consumer goods categories including hardware, tools, building supplies, lawn and garden, outdoor living, plumbing, electrical, home products, sporting goods and automotive products. Buyers can screen and evaluate new suppliers by product, capability, certification, minimum order quantity flexibility and manufacturing region, and use targeted recommendations and face-to-face supplier discussions to confirm needs, compare partners and define next steps.

The event features supplier review and recommendations and expert talks; exhibitors can complete their company profile and submit company information to up to 10 participating buying organisations for independent assessment. The event also offers invitation-only exchange for senior purchasing and sourcing leaders and a dedicated programme for retail-ready inventors, helping them connect with retail, licensing and commercialisation partners.

The exhibition connects retailers, consumer brands, distributors, wholesalers and product teams, and exhibiting suppliers offer manufacturing, private label, product development and innovative product solutions. It suits companies looking to expand supply sources and speed up product launch.
