How we do it

Our in-depth knowledge of fasteners and insight into different solutions has been developed over decades of experience. Decades in which we have been squarely focused on fasteners for the mobility industry. All while developing firm, long-term relationships with different suppliers from around the world. One of the reasons we are now able to rely on local and global sources. We keep the shelves of our twenty warehouses stocked with parts. It ensures manufacturers have what they need at hand when they need it. And this allows our suppliers to make parts in larger numbers without time pressure. A great way to keep the costs down for everyone.
