Bossard Group has expanded its market position within innovative fastening technologies, acquiring Belgian company Dejond Fastening – a manufacturer of blind rivet nuts and specialist in the distribution of high-quality fastening systems.
Dejond Fastening N.V, headquartered in Antwerp, employs 68 people and expects net sales of around €15 million for the current financial year. With its own brand Tubtara®, the company is a pioneer in innovative solutions for sheet metal, profiles, composites and plastic fastening solutions for a wide range of industries.
Dejond’s solutions enable engineers to optimise both their product design and manufacturing processes, which fits well with Bossard’s ‘Proven Productivity’ philosophy. With this acquisition, Bossard will further strengthen its market presence in the Benelux region.
“Bossard has been working with Dejond for over 30 years. We have consistently been impressed by the company’s reliability and innovations ever since. By combining technical expertise with our global market reach, technical sales expertise, and trusted access to a wide range of industrial customers, we see great potential to offer even more value to our existing and new customers,” reports Daniel Bossard, CEO of
Bossard Group.
“Becoming part of the Bossard Group guarantees continuity for our existing customers and it opens up completely new possibilities to expand the global market presence of Tubtara®. It will give us new opportunities to widen our product offering and invest in new technologies and sales capabilities,” concludes Jan Maeyens, director R&D and manufacturing at Dejond.
The metal business, including the Metal Service Center, is not part of the acquisition and will continue to operate independently under the name Dejond N.V.
