IWA OutdoorClassics 2027 takes place from 4 to 7 March 2027 at the Exhibition Centre Nuremberg in Germany. It is the world's leading exhibition for the hunting and target sports industry, covering guns and components, optics, knives, clothing, outdoor articles and self-protection equipment.
The 2026 edition brought together 1,050 exhibitors from 49 countries and more than 25,000 trade visitors from 121 countries. The fair has run since 1974 and is 100% business-to-business: specialist retailers, distributors, manufacturers and importers come here to place orders and find new suppliers.
For manufacturers and exporters from Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka — especially Sialkot's makers of knives, leather goods, hunting clothing and accessories — IWA is where the global buyers for these products meet. Nasa International represents NürnbergMesse in these markets.
