Adhesives not serious competitors to conventional fasteners, says report

Published at the end of 1984, EEC Industrial Fastener Market - - E741 is a comprehensive industrial market research study from Frost Et Sullivan Limited. V~hin the report of some 300 pages, little space is devoted exclusively to the adhesives market. While the advantages of adhesive bonding (such as the even bonding

o f whole areas) are stated, adhesives are listed under "competitive products'. In the executive summary at the beginning of the report, it is

stated that all sectors of the industrial fastener market are expected to suffer from increased competition from adhesives, welding and specially designed interlocking parts, but this effect is not expected to be great.

E741 details the market for industrial fasteners in West Germany, the UK, France, Italy, The Netherlands, Belgium/Luxembourg, and other EEC countries over the period 1980-1983 with predictions for each year to 1989.

Costing $1850, E741 is available from Frost & Sullivan Incorporated, 106 Fulton Street, New York, NY 10038, USA (also at 104-112 Marylebone Lane, London Wl M 5FU, UK, and 6 Frankfurt am Main, Justinstrasse 22, FRG).
