The Council for Aluminium in Building (CAB) will return to FIT Show 2027 with an expanded presence at the NEC Birmingham from 18–20 May 2027, bringing together CAB and its members in the CAB Hub.
CAB is the recognised voice of aluminium in buildings. The organisation represents businesses across the aluminium supply chain, including system companies, fabricators, manufacturers, finishers, component suppliers, consultants and specialist businesses involved in the design, production and installation of aluminium products.
The CAB Hub will bring together a selection of CAB member companies exhibiting alongside the association, creating a collective presence that reflects the depth and diversity of aluminium’s role across the built environment. Confirmed participating member exhibitors include Technoform, Kestrel Aluminium, Alutrade, iKON Aluminium, Ensinger, Mila, Deceuninck and Sapphire Louvres.
The shared presence will demonstrate that CAB represents much more than one area of the aluminium sector. Its membership spans the supply chain, reflecting the many businesses and disciplines that contribute to the design, manufacture, supply and installation of aluminium products.
Nigel Headford, CEO of the Council for Aluminium in Building, comments: “Returning to FIT Show with the CAB Hub gives us an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the breadth of our membership and the contribution aluminium makes across the built environment. CAB is a resource for the whole aluminium supply chain, and FIT Show provides the ideal platform to bring members together, connect with the wider industry and help visitors understand the expertise and support available through CAB.”
“The CAB Hub will be a welcoming, practical space for members and visitors alike. It will provide a place to meet, exchange ideas and engage with the issues affecting our sector, while also giving participating members a stronger collective presence at the industry’s most important events.”
As part of its partnership with FIT Show, CAB will also sponsor the event’s learning programme. The association is developing educational content focused on practical and technical challenges facing the sector, including powder coating, warranties, performance and the considerations installers need to focus on when recommending and working with different finishes.
The programme will form part of CAB’s wider commitment to sharing knowledge and supporting its members. Further details of the sessions will be announced as the programme develops.
Visitors to the CAB Hub will also be able to find out more about CAB’s technical support, member services and work across areas including legislation, standards and industry collaboration. A dedicated CAB signposting presence will also help visitors identify participating members across the show.
The Hub will also host CAB’s networking event on Wednesday 19 May, providing another opportunity for members, visitors and industry colleagues to meet informally.
FIT Show event director, Nickie West adds: “FIT Show is at its strongest when it reflects the full breadth of the industry it serves. The support of the industry’s main associations and trade bodies is central to making that happen. Their involvement ensures that the show represents the many different businesses, disciplines and perspectives that make up our sector - not just through the companies exhibiting, but through the expertise, insight and practical support they bring to the event.
“We’re delighted to welcome CAB and the CAB Hub to FIT Show 2027. CAB brings together an impressive breadth of aluminium expertise, and its presence will give visitors a valuable opportunity to meet leading businesses across the supply chain. Its contribution to the learning programme will also add practical, technical and genuinely useful content for visitors.”
FIT Show 2027 takes place at the NEC Birmingham from 18 - 20 May.
