    Posted in Fasteners manufacturers, Industry 4.0, Innovation, Sustainability on Sep 15, 2022

    Bulten has begun a collaboration with Polestar on the development project Polestar 0, which aims to build a climate-neutral electric car by 2030.

    af49c966dfac1057_org.jpg

    The Polestar 0 project was officially announced in 2021, and aims to create a climateneutral electric car by the year 2030, by eliminating emissions in the supply chain. Bulten’s contribution will be the delivery of climate-neutral and highly functional fasteners. This can be achieved through a combination of energy-efficient materials and processes, as well as renewable energy supply throughout the value chain.

    “We are truly honored to be part of the Polestar 0 project, and to assist one of our customers in developing a truly climate-neutral vehicle. We take our sustainability work extremely seriously, and see this as an opportunity to share our knowledge, but also to learn from the other partners involved in the project,” says Anders Nyström, President and CEO of Bulten Group.

    “A project of this ambition requires partners at the cutting-edge of their industries and which are fully engaged in our bold vision. That’s why I’m looking forward to Bulten becoming a crucial part of our team as we find solutions for developing an entirely climate-neutral supply chain. Bulten’s expertise in fasteners will be invaluable in our mission and will play an integral role in pioneering new and innovative technologies to achieve what has so far been impossible,” says Hans Pehrson, leader of the Polestar 0 project.

    Sustainability is integrated in Bulten’s strategy, and the aim is to become the most sustainable company in the fastener sector. Bulten has clearly defined climate goals both for its own production and its supply chain, which are also in line with the Paris Agreement.

  • V-Tex Wood Screw a Type of Screw for Hard Wood

    Posted in Fasteners manufacturers, Industry 4.0, Innovation on Aug 25, 2022

    Rexlen Corporation, which specializes in automotive, electronics, and mechanical fastener has recently taken another leap forward to a new industry sector.

    The recently released and patented “V-Tex Thread for Wood” (V-Tex) is Rexlen’s official entry announcement into the household & DIY markets.

    Distinctive Structure Featuring Excellent Functions

    SCREW MOD.png

    “V-Tex” wood screws offer three kinds of minor diameters, which (sorted by value from large to small) are cutting ribs, shank, and chip recesses. After its sharp-point drill drills into the material, the cutting ribs will twist off fibers to create a larger hole diameter and the special cutting teeth on threads will cut off wood fibers.

    Then, the chip recesses offer extra space for dust to reduce drilling resistance, facilitating the assembly/engagement/fastening of wood materials and revealing excellent functionality. “V-Tex” is a type of screw for hard wood featuring both cutting and quick drilling and fastening.

    3 Major Features of “V-Tex”

    THREAD.jpg

    • Low Driving Torque In a test using European hard wood, “V-Tex” features the driving torque lower than the other brands, giving users more labor-saving fastening experience.

    • Low Drilling Time Fastening can be completed within 0.72 second, which is almost on pair with other European leading brands in the same test. This will save a lot of drilling time and enhance work efficiency for users.

    • Strong Pull-Out Value Be it the pull-out force test or the tensile strength test, V-Tex wood screws have proven to function to the same levels as those of products made by other European leading manufacturers. After fastening is completed, it won’t become loose easily. It is not only easy to use, but can also be applied to maximize the work efficiency.

  • Green plugs made of natural resources

    Posted in Fasteners manufacturers, Innovation, Sustainability on Aug 23, 2022

    fischer GreenLine

    Sustainability can also be practised in the field of fastenings, as demonstrated by an innovative product range by the fischer Group of Companies. fischer GreenLine plugs consist of at least 50 per cent renewable resources and are particularly low-emission. fischer GreenLine plugs are made of ecologically produced plastic and consist of at least 50 per cent renewable resources. This has been confirmed by the independent testing and certification body DIN CERTCO/TÜV Rhineland, which has classified the plugs in the BIOBASED 50-85% category. Castor oil made from the seed of the castor bean is used to produce the plastic components of fischer’s GreenLine fixing solutions. Tests examining the load level and long-term behaviour demonstrated that the green plug offers the same performance and load-bearing capacity as the grey classic. Six green plugs are currently available.

    With FIS GREEN, fischer offers an injection mortar with biobased components including materials with various functions: reactive resins, fillers, additives, plasticisers and thermoplastic polymers. Tests show that it achieves the same performance as the petrochemical-based original. DIN CERTCO confirms its composition of natural and renewable resources. The FIS GREEN has an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) from the Institute of Construction and Environment (IBU) as a data basis for an ecological building assessment. The increased environmental health and improved occupational protection through the reduced emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) certify the product’s classification in the French A+ “very low in emissions” emission class.

    fischer demonstrates further responsibility for people and planet. The fischer ProcessSystem, which prevents waste, makes a daily contribution to sustainability across the entire company. To honour its commitment in this field the fischer Group of Companies was presented with the German Sustainability Award 2020 in the large businesses category. In addition to its GreenLine, the fixing specialist offers additional sustainable fastening innovations such as its hazard-label free injection mortar FIS V Zero. The innovative formula of the label-free universal mortar guarantees user-friendly and secure use with environmentally friendly application and disposal. The FIS V Zero also fulfils the highest requirements in maintaining clean indoor air quality to the benefit of inhabitants and people using the building.

  • EJOT withdraws from business in Russia

    Posted in Fasteners manufacturers, Industry 4.0, Rivets on Jul 07, 2022

    Sale of the national company Wostok

    Teaser-Russland.png

    After a lengthy review, the management of the EJOT Group, in consultation with the Advisory Board, has decided to withdraw from the Russian business. In view of the great suffering and the unbelievable destruction caused by the Russian aggressors in Ukraine, there will be no economic "business as usual" in the near future.

    In all these considerations we have to take into account that we have a duty of care towards our 70 colleagues of the EJOT subsidiary in Wostok and that we also fulfil this duty - as far as we are able to do so in this difficult situation. This problem is faced by many of the Western companies represented in Russia and thus model solutions crystallise, which are often pursued after weighing up the advantages and disadvantages.

    One of these solutions is the sale of the EJOT company in Russia to the local management. Its advantage is the possibility of securing the employment of the Russian employees for a longer period of time. To this end, we have held the necessary talks and completed the sale of EJOT Wostok.

    For this purpose, we have allowed the national company EJOT Wostok the use of trademark rights for the contract period, e.g. for the further distribution of the anchors produced by Wostok in Russia for the fastening of thermal insulation. Thus, deliveries to Russia by companies of the EJOT Group will now also end. In addition, we have negotiated contractual buy-back arrangements which should enable us to re-enter the market in the event of a fundamental change in Russian policy. Whether this can happen in this way, we cannot foresee today.

  • Certification for worldwide use

    FM approval for EJOT flat roof products

    19.05.2022, EJOT SE & Co. KG – Market Unit Construction

    A wide range of EJOT flat roof fasteners has been tested and approved for use by the American FM Approvals testing institute in combination with various types of roofing membranes. The necessary tests for this approval essentially correspond to the European approval ETA and confirm the safety, reliability and durability of the EJOT flat roof fasteners. The FM approval is a further step for the worldwide use of the products.

    The background: In Europe, fasteners are usually tested on the basis of an EEAS and thus approved for use with all roofing membranes. However, the American FM Approvals testing institute, which is connected to the global insurance company FM Global, tests the entire system consisting of fastener, substructure, insulation material and roof sheet in an individual test. A comprehensive series of tests with various fastener/roofing membrane combinations has now been approved by FM Approvals.

    An increasing number of investors and building owners in Europe are demanding the American quality certificate (FM Approvals Standard 4470). FM approval can be relevant for construction projects of internationally operating companies. These are already required in the tender in order to comply with FM Global's insurance standards.

    A list of all approved products is available from the central Roofnav database (www.roofnav.com).
