FIT CAB Hub

The Council for Aluminium in Building will return to FIT Show 2027 with an expanded stand to accommodate its members in the CAB Hub.

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 Aluminium and Sapphire Louvres.

Expertise on show

Nigel Headford, CEO, said: “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. 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.”

Learning programme

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.

Technical support

Visitors to the CAB Hub will 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.

Reflection of the industry

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.”

CAB was formed in 1994 and represents organisations involved in all stages of aluminium in building, from extrusion and system design to fabrication, finishing, product manufacture and associated services.
