FerretExpo

FerretExpo (sometimes styled Ferretexpo) is Guatemala’s premier hardware and construction trade exhibition, held in Guatemala City, and recognised as the most important business-to-business (B2B) fair for hardware, tools and construction materials in Guatemala and the Triángulo Norte region of Central America. For more than two decades, FerretExpo has served as a key industry platform where manufacturers, distributors, retailers and professional buyers come together to explore innovations, source products and build strategic partnerships that support the growth of the construction supply chain.

The event typically attracts well over 150 exhibitors and hundreds of brands, drawing thousands of specialised buyers and industry professionals from Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras and neighbouring markets. Participants span a wide range of sectors relevant to construction and home improvement — including hand and power tools, hardware, building materials, fasteners, electrical components, cement and mixes, coatings, abrasives and construction-related systems — making it a comprehensive showcase for suppliers and buyers alike.

FerretExpo is designed to generate direct commercial engagement and networking between exhibitors and professional visitors. The fair’s business-oriented atmosphere helps stakeholders discover new suppliers, expand product lines and negotiate deals in a focused B2B environment that supports market expansion and operational efficiency. Many exhibitors also use the platform to present product launches, demonstrate innovations and strengthen their presence in Central America’s growing construction and hardware landscape.

The event is traditionally hosted at the Expo Center Tikal Futura in Guatemala City, providing modern exhibition facilities that accommodate large-scale product displays, demonstration areas and networking zones. FerretExpo’s regional reach and commercial impact make it a must-attend for professionals seeking to stay ahead of trends, connect with key suppliers and deepen industry relationships across the construction and ferretería (hardware) sectors.

Whether you are a manufacturer, distributor, contractor, hardware retailer or construction business leader, FerretExpo offers a dynamic and influential setting to discover innovations, explore business opportunities and grow your professional network within Central America’s construction economy.
