Compare fasteners and fastening systems at the FAST Exhibition

Company News Monday, August 16, 2010: Fastening and Assembly Solutions

The forthcoming FAST Exhibition showcases all the latest new fastener products to have emerged recently, with many of them being seen for the first time here at the show. There couldn’t be a better place to view everything new than here at the UK’s only dedicated fastener show. But it isn’t just new products that attract visitors to the show – it is the facility to compare fastener types and methods that is of particular value to engineers industry-wide. Whether driven by the need to obtain cost-reductions or improve designs, being able to discover, discuss, assess and compare all the options in one place at one time with world-class experts on the stands is invaluable.

Take applications that involve sheet metals: the choice of methods is vast. For example is it better to self pierce rivet it? Drill a hole and use a ‘standard’ rivet on it? Bolt it? Clinch it? Weld it? Here visitors can talk to the leading experts in all fields of mechanical fastening and solve problems quickly and professionally. Better still, because the IASE (Industrial Adhesives, Sealants and Encapsulants Exhibition) show is taking place at the same time and place for the first time, innovators and engineers can now compare the mechanical fastening and assembly options with those offered by engineering and industrial adhesives and tapes too.

The exhibition takes place at the National Motorcycle Museum on 21st October, and offers free show entry and free parking to all visitors. Visitors who pre-register in advance may also have the advantage of a Complimentary Luncheon Voucher worth £5 plus a Complimentary Museum Pass (otherwise priced at £6.95) too. To take advantage of these special offers visitors need to be currently employed manufacturing professionals involved in design, production, purchasing or manufacturing management. Visitors will also have access to the IASE (Industrial Adhesives, Sealants and Encapsulants Exhibition, supported by BASA) at the same event.
