The IFI announced that before the end of January 2010 a new 313 page hardback book entitled the IFI Fastener Technology Handbook will be available. This book is a compilation of fastener industry history, easy-to-understand explanations of types of fasteners, fastener materials and performance details, installation insights, and much more. This is an informational, educational handbook and not a book of standards.

This book is a "must have" for every fastener supplier for training company personnel and customers about the fastener industry and its technology. Individual copies of the book can be purchased from the IFI online store for $100. Suppliers that would like to provide these highly informative books to customers can purchase them in lots of 50 with the supplier's logo and name on the cover for $50 each.
