From Atlanta to the UK: Beaverswood Takes on Two Major Trade Shows

It's been a busy few weeks for the Beaverswood team, and we've got plenty to share.

We've recently been out in force at not one, but two major trade exhibitions: MODEX 2026 in the United States and the NMBS Exhibition 2026 right here in the UK.

Two very different events, two very different audiences, but one clear message: there's serious appetite for what Beaverswood has to offer.


Crossing the Atlantic for MODEX

Will Longstaff (Business Development Manager) and Kirsty Rogers (Head of Sales) packed their bags and headed Stateside to represent Beaverswood at MODEX, one of North America's biggest and most exciting supply chain, manufacturing and logistics trade shows with warehousing, distribution centres, material handling specialists and industrial innovators, all under one roof.

And the response? Brilliant.

Rack Armour® and racksack® were the stars of the show, sparking plenty of conversations with logistics businesses, manufacturers, distributors and material-handling specialists keen to find smarter, safer solutions for their operations.

Rack Armour® turned heads as the go-to polymer rack protection solution for busy industrial environments.

racksack® impressed as the practical, reusable waste and recycling solution that keeps warehouse aisles clear and encourages better waste segregation.

Conversations didn't stop there either. The wider Beaverswood range, including 5S products, floor markers and warehouse visual management solutions, also generated real interest from visitors looking to level up their operations.

Opening Doors Across the Americas

One of the most exciting takeaways from MODEX was the distributor and partnership opportunities that emerged. From racking specialists to industrial suppliers, there's clear potential to expand Beaverswood's footprint across the Americas, and the conversations we've had are already helping shape what that could look like.

We also came home with some incredibly useful market feedback, which will be used to drive our future product development. Watch this space.


Back on Home Turf at NMBS 2026

Meanwhile, Ali Blades and Paul Lavelle (Business Development Managers) were flying the Beaverswood flag at the NMBS Exhibition 2026, a key buying event for independent merchants across the UK's building, timber, hardware, and tools sectors.

This was a particularly exciting show for us, as it marked our debut as a new NMBS supplier following our recent merger with Anco. New name on the roster, expanded range, and a whole lot to talk about.

A Fresh Offer for the Merchant Market

The NMBS audience is traditionally tools- and trade-focused, so Beaverswood brought something a little different to the table, sparking some great conversations.

Products like shelving, shelving dividers and racksack® caught the attention of merchants looking for practical add-ons to serve their trade, industrial and workplace customers.

It was also a fantastic opportunity to walk people through everything now available through the expanded Beaverswood range: workplace storage, warehouse identification, visual management, waste segregation and more.

Familiar faces, new conversations, and a few raised eyebrows in the best possible way.


The Momentum Is Building

Together, these two events have reinforced something we already believed: Beaverswood's products resonate, whether you're running a warehouse in Atlanta or sourcing stock for a UK merchant.

From international distributor opportunities in the Americas to strengthening merchant relationships closer to home, it's been a fantastic few weeks on the road. We're already looking forward to what comes next.
