Construction Fixings

As a leading Polish manufacturer of fastening technology, Klimas Wkret-met has looked to fuse the worlds of art and technology, in the service of corporate social responsibility, to create the Klimas Art Gallery, which includes art made entirely of screws. 

Klimas Wkret-met explains that thanks to the words of Sahila Lavignia: ‘Create art that makes you happy. Create art that makes you better. Create art that makes money. Create art that changes the world’ the company has taken on this unusual project. Through the Klimas Art Gallery, the company has also been able to achieve three important goals at the same time – to support young artists, to support charity by donating paintings from the Klimas Art Gallery to auctions, as well as to promote ecological wood construction with Klimas products designed for it.

Fascinating power

Klimas Wkret-met believes that screws are silent heroes. One of the smallest structural elements, usually invisible to the eye, they are responsible for the durability, stability and load-bearing capacity of a building. “Their power never ceases to fascinate us, which is why, as a leading fastener manufacturer, we are constantly improving them,” explains Maciej Strychalski, marketing director at Klimas Wkret-met. “This fascination also has another dimension, which is why we decided to present our woodscrews in an unusual way – combining art, technology and corporate social responsibility. As part of the Klimas Art Gallery, we have created a unique collection of industrial paintings made in screw art using our branded woodscrews.”

More than just aesthetics

The extraordinary Klimas Art Gallery illustrates the potential of the screw art technique and now comprises 25 pieces, most of them inspired by the world’s most famous paintings. However, the purpose of its creation is more than that. “It is not only to please the eyes, but also, in a broader sense, to do good. That’s why the paintings are regularly sold at charity auctions, the proceeds of which support the initiatives of foundations and associations close to the Klimas family,” mentions Maciej. “In the more than three decades of its existence, the Klimas brand has made a name for itself as a socially active and responsible brand, and the Klimas Art Gallery project is a crowning achievement – combining social and cultural goals and paying attention to the environmental aspects of business.”
