COMMERCIAL FEATURE

The importance of Fasteners & Fixings The importance of fasteners & fixings can be put into perspective by the fact that these tiny components comprising screws, nuts, bolts, pins, and hinges, play a big role in providing support and mobility to equipment and machines. Securing essential fixings and joints is vital and fastener failure and breakage can result in machine and structural failure and damage to property and life. After this period of hiatus, growth trends in the market during the pre-COVID-19 period

will gradually re-emerge as the economy begins to normalise. R&D investments in fastener and fixing technology will recover steadily supported by the evolving needs of new generation products and need for new assembly line solutions. www.globenewswire.com/newsrelease/2020/07/13/2061237/0/en/Global-IndustrialFasteners-Industry.html
