With over 150 brands participating, it serves as a key platform for industry professionals to connect and explore the latest innovations. Intertool takes place in Kiev, UA.
TL;DR
Visitors come to compare power tools, hand tools, pneumatic equipment, garden machinery and PPE side by side, and to watch live tool demonstrations rather than catalogue photos. The International Exhibition Center layout lets contractors, retail buyers and workshop engineers move between adjacent halls in a single day, and the cluster of 2-star and 3-star hotels within 500 m of Brovarskyi Ave, 15 keeps travel time down so more of the trip goes to supplier meetings.
Exhibitors can showcase their products to a targeted audience of professionals, gain visibility in the market, and connect with potential buyers. This exhibition showcases a wide range of professional tools and gardening equipment, featuring over 150 brands. The event is organized by Premier Expo, a leading exhibition operator in Ukraine.
