Founded in 1979 in Best, the Netherlands, as a distributor of stainless steel fasteners, Nestinox B.V has seen continuous growth over the past 45 years, through the opening of sales offices in both Germany and Belgium, as well as various investments in software and technology – including Artificial Intelligence (AI).

As a supplier of various kinds of stainless steel bolts, stainless steel nuts, stainless steel screws, springs, washers, solar fasteners, concrete anchors, machine bases, security screws, and even maintenance products, Nestinox supplies into industry in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and the rest of Europe.

In addition to supplying a wide range of products, Nestinox focuses on adding value to its customers by delivering high-quality products as efficiently as possible, at the lowest possible cost. To do this, the company has recently invested in AI technology to further enhance its
internal processes for managing sales orders, as well as for calculating purchase demands. 

Robert-Jan Steegman, CFO at Nestinox, highlights: “Nestinox wants to be an extension of our customers’ organisations, which means finding the right solutions through proper communication and an optimised internal process. By streamlining a customers’ order processes, we can ensure customers are receiving the best service possible and continue to meet the changing customer demands – where customers want
high-quality products with no supply chain issues.”

“As Rotterdam is Europe’s most important harbour, especially in containers, Nestinox is able to keep transport costs low, which is of course a huge benefit to our customers,” continues Robert-Jan. “The Netherlands is also the centre of road transport, which means that our customers throughout Europe can count on short lead times. Efficiency is our vision and we strongly believe a high-quality product, with no drop-outs, will win out over a cheap inferior product.”

To further ensure quality, Nestinox has a strict selection of product suppliers, as well as thorough input and output monitoring. The company also supplies its products in robust and tailor-made packaging to ensure fasteners leave the warehouse in robust outer boxes. As well as this, Nestinox offers a private labelling service to meet customers’ requirements. Other additional services include special packaging, powder coating, kitting, as well as delivery per project.

Nestinox is also able to offer specific custom made solutions according to customer specifications. The company highlights: “We truly believe that cooperation is the best connection. Together with our customers we look for tailor-made solutions that can consist of standardised fasteners, but also of a product that is produced according to a drawing or specification – including stamped parts, cold pressed products, turnery, threading and treatments.”

In addition to these added services, corporate social responsibility is a very important focus for Nestinox. Both directly and indirectly Nestinox is contributing to a sustainable future. Internally, the company is making ecologically conscious choices, such as employees driving environmentally friendly vehicles, using green energy, as well as recycling whenever possible. 

Indirectly, Nestinox is also contributing to a sustainable future by supplying fasteners for generating solar energy, with some of its key markets including the installation of solar panels, fencing, construction, sun shades, food processing equipment, agricultural installations and the production of bicycles.

Robert-Jan concludes: “Nestinox regards employees, customers and suppliers as partners, working together towards the same goal – to be a partner in stainless steel fasteners.”
