Sustainable customer offer

Offers for the future

Every screw counts. That's why we measure the environmental impact of all our fasteners as rigorously as we check their functionality. Integrating eco-friendly practices into our value chain, we help our customers enhance their sustainability performance while delivering tomorrow’s products.

One of our main strategies for lowering the environmental impact of our products is to use scrap metal as a source. Recycling is also relevant for the products that are held together by our fasteners. Unlike welding, soldering, gluing and riveting, a screw can be undone and this makes material recycling easier as the idea of a circular economy and an ecocycle-based approach gather momentum.

Our strategy is to source the majority of our purchased products regionally ensuring good service close to the customer. This also reduces lead times and transport costs and provides protection against trade barriers and risks in geopolitical crises.
