The United States leads the world in innovation,particularly infasteners and fastening systems. Worldwide Fastener Sources.com wants to recognize the people and companies that are leading the way to specific performance with new fastener development, innovation and design.
Fastener innovation is so strong and ongoing, it is called a “Technology Trend” in the fastener industry. Today, fastener engineers and designers dictate that fasteners are an important part of product design and are now thought of “first” in specifying fastening applications, not an afterthought of how to assemble the product.
Worldwide Fastener Sources.com has developed an evaluation system for new and innovative fasteners introduced to the marketplace,and they want to honor those individuals and companies with the Fastener Innovation Award. A driving force in the evaluation process is that the fasteners be innovative in assemblies today and that they will be tomorrow’s standard.
