product; the noise shield under motorcars being a prime example. “FAST turn quick acting fasteners are designed to be rapid and economic to use whilst maintaining reliability,” the company says. The KAPti-nut is a high strength, captive threaded fastening system for sheet metal


ideally suited to multiple and automated insertion into thin gauge steel, aluminium and pre-finished materials. Unifast is confident the KAPti-nut will deliver a significantly better result, in terms of cost effectiveness, performance, and now, increasingly important, reduced environmental impact over traditional weld nuts or blind rivet nuts. Finally, by using its specialised design skills, market knowledge and leading edge


technology, Unifast is able to develop and manufacture fasteners for individual applications. “We are consistently successful in the re-engineering of existing or obsolete parts,


simplifying processes, improving functionality and reducing process time and production cost. We work closely with our clients, understanding both their needs and the demands of a competitive marketplace. We understand the challenges they face and our innovative team helps them solve those challenges, providing the right information, getting the right product and achieving significant savings.” Hall: 4 Stand: D126
