Unifast has grown steadily since 1985 and now operates state-of-the-art production facilities for insert nuts (KAPti‑nut), quick-release fasteners (FAST turn) and custom-made special parts.
KAPti‑nut is a high-strength captive threaded fastening system which is ideal for use in thin steel or aluminium sheet.
FAST turn is a quick-release fastener that is used all over the world wherever parts need to be quickly assembled and disassembled or where access for maintenance is required, for example in electrical cabinets, air-conditioning systems, compressors, and control panels on motor casings. The automotive industry is a major consumer of quick-release fasteners for noise-reducing covers.
With this acquisition, the Böllhoff Group will consolidate its position on the Italian market. It has also been present in Italy since 1985, with an office in Milan currently employing a total of 45 people.
