For the last 27 years, every February/March issue of Fastener Technology International (FTI) magazine has contained a special “Top Products” editorial feature article. To prepare the article, FTI’s Editorial Staff starts the new year by looking for new and noteworthy products presented editorially any FTI issue of the prior year. We do not test the products or attempt to endorse their usefulness, but we do applaud the product developments and marketing efforts of each company involved in presenting them in the pages of FTI. This year, the “Top Products of 2023” article appears on pages 64-69 and 134-137 of the February/March 2024 issue, which can be seen online at https://fastenertech.com/.

Over three dozen products are featured in the article, ranging from new fasteners to technology advances to machines, materials and accessories for manufacturing, distributing and using all types of fasteners. Companies covered in the article include SPIROL, Kinefac, Suncor Stainless, Kadimi, Sherex Fastening, General Inspection, Sacma Machinery and Intools/DIMAC, all of which are exhibiting at the International Fastener Expo 2024 (IFE 2024) in Las Vegas, NV, USA in September.
