The standards and special threaded fasteners for manufacturing

Kevin Moorcroft, Managing Director, explained: “We aim to help manufacturers specify, source and ensure reliable supply to production facilities. By working as a partner to industries from electronics to agricultural, machines to aerospace, instruments to window frames, we aim to help small, medium and large manufacturers optimise their products and their production processes.”

Standard products include a full range of machine screws, self-drilling, hammer, wood, self-tapping and thread forming screws. High tensile bolts of course feature in many formats, along with construction floor anchors. Socket bolts and various nuts are stocked with many types of washer and sealing washers. The stock lines at Challenge Europe of course include numerous other industry standard fasteners and ancillary components.

Naturally, where there are standards customers also look for custom specials and Challenge Europe have covered this area too, working with thread forms and materials to suit the individual application.

Once specified and sourced, customers can take advantage of the many service packages available from stock-holding-and-control to production-system-integration such as Kanban, Lineside Supply or Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI).
