Nord-Lock Group's Expander has also made a deal with Volvo, further cementing its position in the automotive industry. In the building and construction sector, NMBS is set to showcase new products at its upcoming exhibition on March 31, 2025. Additionally, the CEO of NMBS, Chris Hayward, will step down next year, marking a significant change in leadership.

The upcoming Torque Expo is expected to attract a large number of exhibitors and visitors. The event will feature a wide range of products and services from leading companies in the fastener and building construction industries. The exhibition area is set to cover an expansive 50,000 square meters, providing ample space for exhibitors to showcase their latest innovations. With over 1,200 exhibitors and more than 30,000 visitors expected to attend, it promises to be a major event for industry professionals.

In terms of sustainability initiatives, several companies have been making strides in this area. For example, Anochrome Group has launched a PFAS-free coating solution on March 31, 2025, which is a significant step towards reducing environmental impact. Similarly, Bufab has highlighted its sustainability achievements in its latest report, demonstrating its commitment to eco-friendly practices.

The construction sector also saw some notable developments. The Builders' merchants' value sales dropped in Q4 2024 due to various economic factors. However, UK Construction Week announced a partnership with CPI on February 21, 2025, aiming to boost industry engagement and innovation.
