    The entire industry in one place

    The FASTENER POLAND® is the only international fair of fasteners organized in Central and Eastern Europe - a key forum for exchanging experiences, learning about new products, as well as building effective trade relations between companies from around the world. The pandemic has shown very clearly that face-to-face meetings cannot be replaced in business. FASTENER POLAND® is back to its pre-pandemic state. In October, over 150 companies from 15 countries will present their offer. They will present the most modern industrial fasteners and fittings (from screws, through rivets to nuts, pins or wedges), construction fasteners (anchors, concrete screws, fixing facades and insulation), advanced assembly and installation systems (with the presentation of the latest riveting devices, screwdrivers and screw insertion systems or assembly brackets), as well as technologies for the production of fasteners and devices for their storage and distribution.

    We connect buyers from all over the world

    The fair will be visited by buyers from industries that use fasteners for the production of their products. This year, the organizers direct the promotional campaign especially to industries with the greatest potential. Photovoltaics, automotive, aviation and the medical industry are sectors with the greatest demand for all types of fasteners and fixings. Poland is among the top ten countries in the world in terms of the size of the photovoltaic market. In Europe, only Germany and Spain are ahead of us in this regard. The industry records continuous sales increases and is developing dynamically. Therefore, the demand for components is growing, in particular for specialized and quality fasteners. The fasteners market responds to these needs by designing and delivering the best solutions with enhanced resistance to difficult conditions in which solar systems are used. Several dozen manufacturers will present their solutions on a special zone dedicated to this industry.

    Bleisure - combining business with spare time

    We believe that success begins with meetings, therefore organizers encourage everyone interested in expanding business contacts to participate in the fair. In addition to free invitations to the fair, a program combining business travel with leisure was developed. Trend Bleisure - a word created from the combination of the words "business" and "leisure" - is the key message of the strategy implemented by Targi w Krakowie Ltd. Participants of the fair will be inspired by the map of attractions, which will include recommended accommodation, local restaurants, monuments, climatic places and cultural centers. And since there is no shortage of interesting places in Krakow, the organizers are sure that some customers will extend their stay by additional days.

    About Tower Fasteners

    Thomas J. Shannon founded Tower Fasteners in 1967 in Mineola, New York. Mr. Shannon's philosophy was a simple but powerful one: provide his customers with the products they needed, when they needed them, without fail. Because of Mr. Shannon's strong commitment to customer satisfaction, Tower Fasteners continued to grow year by year.

    The company relocated several times to larger facilities across Long Island. The first Tower distribution center, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, which is now a sales office, was opened in 1975. In 1986, Tower designed and built its current corporate headquarters, in Holtsville, New York. Additional distribution centers in New England, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, North Carolina, Mexico, and Texas are currently servicing Tower customers along the East Coast and Southwest of the United States, as well as in Mexico. In 2018, Tower Fasteners opened its first European distribution center in Dublin, Ireland. Tower Fasteners EU Ltd is located less than thirty minutes outside of Dublin’s city center and will serve as Tower’s European headquarters. Tower has grown from a one-person organization to a company that employs over 100 people in eight states. Today, Tower Fasteners is being managed by a second generation of Shannon's that have inherited Thomas J. Shannon's passion for, and commitment to, excellence.

  • FISCHER: All-in-one systems for multifunctional façades

    Posted in Fastener distribution, Industry 4.0 on Jul 07, 2021

    The fischer façade systems business unit of the fischer Group of Companies offers innovative and high-quality all-in-one solutions for the secure and aesthetic installation of rear-ventilated façades. The company also offers a wide range of services, as the fischer specialists support plan-ners and façade builders with consultation and calculation services from the briefing and installation stage across all construction phases until the project’s successful comple-tion.

    Building envelopes must meet ever growing requirements. Rear-ventilated façades meanwhile have to fulfil increasingly complex requirements in terms of sustainability, safety, protec-tion, air conditioning and a distinguished appearance. fischer fa-çade systems guarantee a positive ecological balance through high energy savings and a consistent circular flow economy, a long service life plus the advantage of creative freedom.

    Creative freedom and functionality

    The visible or concealed fischer fastenings are suitable for all standard cladding materials for rear-ventilated façades and fulfil every aesthetic requirement. The modern façade technology also provides a healthy indoor climate, as rear-ventilated rooms constantly dissipate the moisture from the structure and living spaces. The fischer façade systems provide additional benefits such as simple, easy and fast installation, low maintenance requirements, a long service life, effective protection against weather conditions and high energy efficiency. In addition to a permanent and secure hold and efficient thermal insulation, the functional and technical advantages also include the option to install a fireproof barrier and non-flammable insulating material, integrated lightning protection through a conductive substruc-ture as well as improved soundproofing.

    A wide range of substructure solutions

    Fischer’s all-in-one system of compatible products with tested and approved individual components includes a comprehensive range of substructure solutions. With the acquisition of BWM Fassadensysteme GmbH from Leinfelden-Echterdingen in 2018, the portfolio of the fischer Group of Companies expanded considerably. fischer now offers various substructures to fasten rear-ventilated façades from a single source. The solutions range from visible fastenings for lightweight panels using rivets or drilling screws to hook solutions for façade cassettes as well as aesthetically appealing concealed fastenings with the fischer Zykon panel anchors FZP II. The comprehensive range for alu-minium supporting structures features systems that enable ex-tensive prefabrication, simple application and fast installation. These also include substructure solutions that have been spe-cially tailored to the problem areas of rear-ventilated structures, such as variable systems and systems with thermal isolation to the benefit of improved energy efficiency and sustainability. The ATK 601 stand-off anchor construction fulfils high requirements for fully pre-insulated façades or for the renovation of ETICS systems with rear-ventilated façades and ZeLa brackets. Both supporting structures have been declared “certified passive house components” by the independent Passivhaus Institute certification body. The certificate contains all parameters (punc-tual thermal transmission coefficients) and documents the unique position of the supporting structures compared to conventional wall constructions available on the market. The ATK 601 and the ZeLa bracket provide added benefits with their high planning reliability and broad range of applications.

    The right solution for any fastening application

    The façade panels can be visibly fastened using rivets or drilling screws, while ceramic tiles can be fastened with brackets. An-gled metal cassettes can be attached to the façade with bolt suspensions. The fischer undercut anchors provide a form-fit fastening without expansion pressure in the conical undercut drill hole and are concealed when viewed from the building’s exterior. The undercut anchor system is completed by the well-engineered and compatible drilling and installation technology as well as additional accessories. Thanks to its broad range of undercut anchors, fischer is able to attach almost any type of cladding material to the façade. It is therefore possible to use façade panels made out of natural stone from a thickness of 20 mm, single-pane and laminated safety glass from a glass thick-ness of 8 mm, as well as ceramic tiles, fibre cement and HPL plates from a thickness of 8 mm. Individual panels or even all panels can subsequently be exchanged with ease through the use of hook-on profiles. Even reveal panels can be fastened easily and with a high degree of flexibility. The varied panel thicknesses can be compensated through the use of stand-off anchor types. This method also allows the realisation of an ele-ment façade as well as factory prefabrication. The long-established technology of the fischer undercut an-chors enables the bending stress of the panel to be reduced by up to 50 per cent compared to standard edge fixings (mandrel, kerf cut and/or plug mandrel fixings or bracket solutions) through the statically adjustable position of the anchor in the 1/5 point on the reverse of the panel. This achieves lower slab bending moments and higher load-bearing capacities and allows more freedom during planning and execution, while better use can be made of the respective technical material properties. The opti-mised static system and increased breakout forces allow larger-sized panels of the same thickness to be used in comparison to edge fastenings. Thinner and therefore lighter panels can also be used, which are economical to purchase and transport, thereby making installation easier. The fischer façade systems business unit works in close prox-imity to markets and customers, subsidiaries and local partners across the globe. SystemTec and BWM façade systems offer compatible solutions and all-in-one systems for a market seg-ment of the future.

    Fischer all-in-one systems for rear-ventilated façades include compat-ible products with tested and approved individual components and a comprehensive range of substructure solutions.
