Given the pressures on manufacturing industry it is understandable that most design/production engineers seek to solve their Fastening & Assembly problems as quickly as possible – a search on Google, a browse of a favourite technical publication or directory – even a phone call to a favourite supplier. However well this works it neglects vital aspects of the specification/purchasing jigsaw – ensuring that the right questions are asked of the right people. The organisers of the Fastening & Assembly Solutions Exhibition – October 23rd at the National Motorcycle Museum, Birmingham – are very familiar with this phenomenon – more than 75% of visitors in April found answers to things they never even realised they had a need for!

At a time when government forecasts are for zero growth in the economy as a whole – we note that manufacturing industry has grown a steady 1% p.a. since 2002 and that Fastening & Assembly Solutions Exhibition has also had record numbers of exhibitors, visitors and new fastener launches over that time. It may be that these latter facts are related.
