As Fastener + Fixing Magazine reaches ‘one hundred’ we invited leading fastener businesses from all the European countries it reaches for an insight into the prospects and challenges of their domestic market.
We asked them to consider not just economic and financial issues but also technology drivers for the fastener industry and to identify priorities for the future. We are really grateful for the time and thought generously invested in assembling a unique perspective of the European fastener landscape. For space reasons we have edited some contributions but have been careful to retain the core of each contributor’s insight. Of course, there will be other and perhaps divergent viewpoints. Yours may well be one and we would be very happy to hear it for a future issue – email editor@fastenerandfixing.com. Meanwhile we hope you find this anthology as fascinating as we have.(…)
