On its part, the President of the Argentine Chamber of Hardware Stores and Related Products (CAFARA), Sergio Angiulli, stated: “In CAFARA we have worked since the first minute for colleagues of Argentina to be essential. The sector had a great challenge that we faced with great success. If we were not essential, ExpoFerretera could have not been carried out. This event shows the excellence of the sector. To consolidate us, this experience must be reflected in the whole hardware value chain of the country. The exhibitors are part of the change and, for the wheel to go around, we must seek excellence between all of us, positioning our business and companies, adapting them to the market needs”.
