As the industry’s powerful tool to drive innovation and connection, ATGE was born to spark a revival in the hardware, grinding, and abrasive sectors. Abrasivestocks, the company behind its foundation, launched the expo post-pandemic as a well-oiled machine that will bring together exhibitors and experts to keep the field buzzing. It is supported by China Hardware Association, Australian Hardware Association, and Union Alloys, some of the industry’s heavyweights, allowing ATGE to earn its position as a flagship event in Brisbane.
Aside from offering nuts, bolts, and everything in between, the expo serves as a platform to sharpen strategies that will help businesses cut through the noise of competition. Whether a distributor, manufacturer, or enthusiast, ATGE is the place where everyone can build a robust foundation for industrial growth, using the latest tools, tech, and trends to sand away inefficiencies in projects and businesses to construct a better Australian hardware landscape.
