CBM fastener section reconnecting with membership
29 August 2017
The fastener section of the Confederation of British Metalforming (CBM) will stage a sector meeting on 20th September at Barton Coldform (UK) Ltd, in Droitwich Spa, aimed at reconnecting with its members and exploring the exciting future for British fastener manufacturing.
Andrew Nuttall, managing director at Barton Coldform, recently became a director of the CBM and is keen to stimulate fresh interest in the activities of its fastener section. “British fastener manufacturing is entering an exciting period, which will surely bring challenges but will also bring real opportunities for our sector. We are regularly seeing headlines of UK fastener manufacturers investing and developing really cutting edge capabilities to support key British industries. We’re also seeing new opportunities to develop exports of British manufactured fasteners.”
“We are keen to reconnect with existing fastener members to find out what they need from CBM and send out a clear signal that there is an active, resourceful and knowledgeable association ready to support and represent the interests of British fastener manufacturers.”
The meeting schedule will include a guest speaker and a tour of the Barton Coldform manufacturing facility, itself benefiting from a major investment programme and the recent acquisition of a licence for the Phillips MORTORQ® spiral drive system.
A detailed schedule will be circulated to CBM fastener members by end July. “We’ll also be extending personal invitations,” says Andrew, “to current non-members to join us in order to get a taste of what CBM membership can offer.”
