Specialinsert, fastening solutions for the automotive industry

How many fasteners do you need – on average – to go to work, shopping, or on vacation? That's easy: about 3500, which is the number needed to assemble a car.

Whether it is the engine, the chassis, or the passenger compartment, fasteners play a vital role in the automotive industry. For example, a loose bolt in the engine can prevent the car from starting, while fastening problems in the suspension or braking system can cause serious failures.

Commonly used solutions include threaded inserts, bolts, nuts, washers, and adhesive, bonded fasteners made of iron, stainless steel, nickel, brass, aluminum, or special alloys.
