Fastening stands out as one of the few areas in which UK manufacturing companies can make immediate cost savings.
At the heart of any manufacturing process lays the need to fasten and assemble components and attention to these two huge but diffuse cost/processes can pay big dividends Small reductions in costs or time can generate massive knock-on benefits

In particular fastening stands out as one of the few areas in which UK manufacturing companies can make immediate cost savings, and the Fastening and Assembly Solutions Exhibition offers the biggest choice of these cost-saving opportunities to be found anywhere in one place at one time.
For example, by introducing self-pierce riveting, OEMs and sheet metal engineers can save significant time - by avoiding the need to drill holes to begin with - and some of the exhibitors at the Show can provide self-pierce fasteners that can penetrate thicker materials than you might imagine.
Other exhibitors offer instant cost-saving ideas and solutions using plastic fasteners, adhesives, adhesive tapes and a huge number of other fastener and fastening types and methods.
These multifarious systems from threaded inserts and plastic rivets to anti-vibration or special security fasteners are complimented by the very latest approaches to assembly.
Lean manufacturing techniques are today complimented by an increasingly sophisticated take on the basics such as torque monitoring or adhesive dispensing.
Many of these can be introduced immediately without the need for additional production or design engineering changes either up or downstream in the manufacturing processes.
All can be seen at the Fastening and Assembly Solutions Exhibition which takes place at the fantastic RAF Museum Cosford on 30th April 2008 between 1000 and 1500.
Engineers and manufacturing professionals who pre-register in advance can enjoy the advantage of a complimentary luncheon courtesy of the Organisers, as well as complimentary tea and coffee during their stay at the show.
Parking is free and right outside the exhibition, exhibition entry is free, and access to the outstanding RAF Museum (including the all-new and award-winning Cold War Hangar) is also free.
All in all a visit to the Fastening and Assembly Solutions Exhibition offers a rewarding day out - as well as providing the best opportunity to view and discuss all the latest fasteners and fastening application advances to have emerged recently.
