TR Fastenings has played a pivotal role at a wide variety of trade shows and exhibitions in recent years, and we were particularly pleased to have been represented at the recent Engineering Solutions Live Show. The March 2022 event was held at the iconic British Motor Museum in Gaydon, Warwickshire, and was attended by a significant number of thought leaders and decision-makers from a comprehensive range of organisations.

TR Fastenings is delighted to be supporting this year’s Engineering Solutions Live Show, on 24 March 2022 at the British Motor Museum in Gaydon, Warwickshire.

The show is the UK’s one-stop shop for thought leadership and meeting new contacts in the engineering sector. It provides visitors with the opportunity to visit market-leading solutions providers, networking with senior decision-makers from across the UK whilst boosting knowledge during expert-led seminars.

Andrew Fletcher, Director of Plastics & Rubber (Commercial & Technical) at TR Fastenings, will be presenting an ‘Introduction to Plastic Fasteners’ in a Fastening and Joining session. He will cover the key opportunities and challenges that exist around plastic fasteners and will provide an insight into best practices around specifying the most suitable product for an application. The seminar will also cover the important aspects to consider to help prevent product failures and costly design changes and give guidance on the common mistakes to avoid.

Andrew will examine some basic properties of plastic fastener materials and will cover the features and benefits of typical fastener types. He will round off the session with a look at how TR can offer collaborative support to customers to ensure that the right part is specified first time.
