Wherever an economical, non-detachable, safe, and easy-to-install connection is required, riveting is the right solution to your fastening challenge.
Rivet technology reliably connects two independent components. Whether you are dealing with steel, plastic, or other materials of different strengths and thicknesses, riveting will securely hold them together.

There is a rivet for every fastening need. Blind rivet nuts and blind riveting systems provide the solution for your one-sided access applications, from high-strength to lightweight materials. If you require a high production output, speed riveting technology allows you to fasten up to 70 rivets per minute. For applications in high-vibration environments, lockbolts ensure a safe and non-releasable connection.
Our comprehensive product range covers different types of rivets, head shapes, and diameters for any combination of materials, from steel to plastics, and even composite materials and fiberglass:
