FASTENING & ASSEMBLY SOLUTIONS EXHIBITION – WEDNESDAY 30TH APRIL

Questions, questions. The fact of the matter is that when it comes to fastening and assembly in a manufacturing environment, most applications can be solved using a variety of different fastening or joining methods, materials and processes. So how best to establish what is best? In our view, the quickest, easiest and most rewarding way to find out is to visit the Fastening & Assembly Solutions Exhibition: the next one takes place on Wednesday 30th April at the RAF Museum Cosford, near Wolverhampton (postcode TF11 8UP). Here you will find assembled (oh yes) the broadest array of fastening products, methods, processes and suppliers in one place at one time. The exhibitors list reads like a 'Who's Who' of industrial and engineering fastening problem solvers and they are all experts at understanding what manufacturing companies need. One of the key strengths of a visit to the show is this: the exhibitors know that the needs of the design team, the production team and the management team all have to be met in the process of finding the ideal fastening and assembly method for a project. For example, Fastener A might be 30% cheaper to buy than Fastener B, and on the face of it therefore be the most effective option to embrace. But if Fastener A can be used more speedily and efficiently to such an extent that the installed cost (when everything is taken into account) is lower, then the apparently cheaper option is actually more expensive. This exhibition is the place to have fastener, fastening and assembly discussions with some of the best suppliers in the business: small wonder that 96% of all previous visitors have voted their time at the show 'worthwhile'. Show entry is free, parking is free, tea and coffee are free, and a visit to the outstanding RAF Museum is also free. But best of all, the expert advice you will receive is free too!
