ALLFAST PARTICIPATES IN BOEING BEST PRACTICES FORUM |

|
April 4th, 2004 Long Beach Allfast
participated at Boeing?s request in the C-17 best practices forum. This forum
was a chance for an enterprise wide exchange of timesaving and labor saving ideas
and techniques. One of the featured presentations was the use of Allfast's TACKBOLT®. Allfast was
the only supplier to be invited to participate in the forum. This patent
pending temporary fastener allows heavy structure to be assembled and
transported to automated fastening centers. Boeing chose Allfast
due the successful cycle time reductions and cost savings achieved through
the implementation of the FASTACK® temporary Rivet, in Boeing's production. |
