International Hardware Fair Cologne Cancelled In 2021 Due To The Pandemic

International Hardware Fair Cologne 2021 was still receiving very positive feedback at the European press conference at the end of October. However, due to the dynamic infection situation and international travel restrictions, the majority of exhibitors have ultimately decided not to participate in the trade fair. Even the comprehensive #B-SAFE4business hygiene and safety concept for coronavirus-compliant implementation of trade fairs was still not able to provide the trade fair participants with more planning security. After careful consideration together with the associations and exhibitors, Koelnmesse therefore decided to cancel the EISENWARENMESSE – International Hardware Fair Cologne hybrid event planned from 21 to 24 February 2021 due to the pandemic.
