Week in Review :

Fastener fair Kaohsiung in Taiwan :

That was just a great show.
First, I was happy to be invited to the opening meeting organized by the TFTA on the monday evening (Thanks William!). Eventhough I couldn’t  arrived in time to listen to the conference given by Phil Matten, editor of Fastener+Fixing.

I went on the show on the wednesday. Pretty crowded. Located in the same Arena as 2 years ago + an extra hall in the nearby Grand HiLai Hotel (I think, the best hotel in Kaohsiung).

That day went very fast. Met so many people. Many western distributors had sent many buyers (no less than 8 for a famous european one).

Phil Matten, was busy taking pictures, interviewing and  at the same time, finalizing the latest issue #74 of Fastener+Fixing now available for download.

This week, Fasttech took place as well in Russia. A busy week for the fastener industry.

Twitter : Second “#fastlink friday”, organized by Traveling Salesman. A little difficult for us to follow as I was in China, where Twitter is banned.

Enough for today, just arrived from a long trip back home
