Snap Joining For Easy Assembly

Composite Support & Solutions Inc. (CSSI) have developed a joining technology called snap joining. So what it does differently from everything is that it allows very quick and easy assembly. What makes it a game changer is that it is a composite material, it does not corrode. Corrosion costs about one trillion dollars a year in the United States, so it’s a big savings in construction, and at the same time, it has the strength of steel, it’s a quick assembly method.

So what differentiates CSSI from everybody else, is that they assemble eight times faster than current technology with bolts, nuts, rivets. Because it is joining technology, it is unique, and applicable to virtually everything that you need to put together.

CSSI, participating in an Air Force SBIR/STTR program provided a tower at Hanscom AFB in Massachusetts that provides maximum flexibility and agility to operate and defend their network. More
