pgb-Europe, a family-owned Belgian company offering a wide range of fasteners and fixings that meet and exceed international standards, will be showcasing its new enlarged product ranges – including structural bolts, HAPAX wood screws, and insulation fixings – at Fastener Fair Stuttgart.
With a core business of distributing fastener materials, pgb-Europe’s total product range consists of more than 50,000 products from bolts and nuts to professional wood screws, cutting edge anchors, tools and drill accessories. Besides this, pgb-Europe NV also provides customised solutions and special engineered products on customer’s request.
Its factory plants in Poland (anchors) and Vietnam (wood screws) produce products of the highest quality according to European regulations. These include its newly enlarged range of SB bolts (EN – 15048), HV (EN – 14399-4) and HR assemblies (EN – 14399-3). Audited and certified by TÜV Germany, pgb says it can offer the highest quality bolt assemblies directly from stock.
Also available is its range of innovative HAPAX wood screws, which feature a special drill point and optimised geometry so that the screw can be inserted in the wood with less effort. This results in split-free mounting, even close to the edge. Moreover, it reduces stress on the user’s wrist and improves the ergonomics during installation. The special BlueTop coating also enlarges the corrosion resistance by 10-fold compared to conventional zinc plating.
Also on display will be pgb-Europe’s range of insulation fixings – economical, energy efficient, safe fixings for ETICS for all building materials. The innovative S-IPT 8 is a screwed-in fixing, which is strongly recommended for thick insulations. It has a short embedment depth and is the most versatile. The S-IPH 10 is a hammered-in fixing with very good pullout resistance and a very short installation time. Accessories such as special insulation discs for soft insulation, like mineral wool, make the SMART insulation plugs suitable for all jobs. The STY anchor is a special threaded insulation plug to fix light things to external insulation.
Visitors to the stand can also hear more about pgb-Europe’s new robot controlled warehouse with automated pallet handling and automated lift systems – designed according to the latest guidelines for stock management. Thanks to this investment pgb-Europe has 28,000 new pallet places available of which 13,000 are in the automated pallet warehouse. It also has 60,000 storage bins made up of 40,000 in the mini load and 20,000 on shelving. Together with a new ERP package, this will significantly help pgb to supply customers with more accuracy and efficiency.
