About HF2A
An association connecting fastener application needs with practical knowledge and relevant expertise worldwide.
HF2A focuses on how fasteners are used: where fasteners are used, the conditions they operate in, and the information needed through selection, assembly, inspection and maintenance. We help application teams explain their needs and give manufacturers, process specialists, testing organisations and researchers a way to share relevant knowledge and capability.
