The comprehensive consulting and solution approach practised by fastening specialist KVT-Fastening with three core features aims to ensure safe and efficient production environments in manufacturing companies.

This is achieved through optimised product design, introduction of efficient production processes and mature logistics solutions for C-part management. Technicians, designers and engineers can solve their technical problems and fulfil economic requirements in co-operation with the company.

In the design field, there are often several possible solutions to a problem. Since almost 50 percent of the individual parts of a product consist of fastening elements, the selection of the right fastening technology is of elementary significance right from the start. Technicians, designers and engineers all have to make a series of cascading decisions: what is the correct fastening technology to use? How easy will it be to assemble the elements during manufacture? Which supplier will be in a position to deliver these products reliably in a uniform quality over a possibly extended period of time and to all production facilities?

With its holistic approach, KVT-Fastening aims to provide answers to all these questions. In product selection, the fastenings expert supports the developer not only with a portfolio embracing over 10,000 products by leading manufacturers, but also with vast knowledge of how these products are used in many different sectors, meaning an intimate familiarity with how the technical possibilities or special functions of each individual fastener can best be utilised. For instance, if a particular fastener already fulfils the strict quality assurance requirements of the automotive industry, this can be of benefit in plant and machinery construction. Suitable special components may be jointly developed in either sector for specific applications; KVT-Fastening already offers consultancy services for the important concept phase with expertise and much practical experience. Testing is carried out with customers' applications in its own test laboratory, which enables components to be matched to the customer's special requirements down to the very last detail.
