Ejot
EJOT designs solutions to tomorrow’s problems
EJOT fastening products are found in countless assemblies around the world. The real-time cost of managing a fastening component impacts five critical areas: fastener, assembly, joint quality, procurement, and logistics. EJOT's ability to create one-sided assemblies or parts-reduced solutions means significantly higher performance and genuine 'bottom line' savings.
EJOT's portfolio includes fastenings for thin sheet through to cast metals, and thermoplastics. The technology to ‘build lighter, build stronger’ has seen the company develop market leading solutions for lightweight materials such as EPP foams and honeycomb composites. Leading automotive manufacturers now use EJOT’s EJOWELD technology for joining light alloys to high strength boron steel.

The Engineer
Way back in 1856 the founders of The Engineer laid out a vision to document and report on the astonishing innovations and breakthroughs of the industrial revolution.
More than 160 years later – although the technological landscape would be unrecognisable to our Victorian predecessors - the publication remains true to this vision.
Via its website and monthly print magazine - and through a combination of news, in-depth reports and hard-hitting opinion – the publication gives engineers across all sectors early warning on the disruptive technologies, trends and products that will impact their roles; keeps them informed of developments in other areas of engineering and champions all that is great about UK engineering and manufacturing.
Today, at a time of accelerating technological change, when the role of the engineer is broader than ever before and cross sector collaboration is the key to maintaining a competitive edge, The Engineer has never been more relevant.
