The All-Fastener Industry Event
       In the Heart of the Fastener Industry
         EXHIBITS, SEMINARS & NETWORKING FOR
FASTENER MANUFACTURERS, DISTRIBUTORS & USERS
Welcome to Rosemont, IL, USA:
FASTENER TECH™ ’15, the 2015 version of the biennial all-fastener industry event in the heart of the fastener industry,
offers something for everyone in fasteners. Fastener manufacturers, distributors, users and industry suppliers are here
in Rosemont to exchange information on the state of the fastener industry. Market conditions are improving in many
sectors, so there is great benefit in discussing strategy, technology and business situations.
Past surveys of FASTENER TECH™ participants indicate that about 90% of respondents like the “All-Industry” focus of the
show as well as the Rosemont location. We expect a similar response at the close of this show. This year, FASTENER TECH™
is co-located with the SUR/FIN show, which is expected to add value to most attendees and exhibitors.
Finally, we offer a special thanks to our exhibitors, seminar speakers, sponsors and attendees as well as the many fastener
industry publications and associations that have participated in the staging of FASTENER TECH™ ’15.
