Customised stainless steel screws 20 March 2023

Leonix has developed a reputation within the fastener sector for its ability to produce high-quality customised stainless steel screws – 100% made in Italy – with the company planning to use Fastener Fair Global 2023 to show its new projects and how it is growing internationally.

A family-based company located in Chiuduno, in the north west of Italy, Leonix Fasteners Srl is able to produce a range of screws in diameters from 4mm to 20mm – in lengths up to 350mm. These screws can also be supplied assembled with washers and with all main thermic and surface treatments (i.e anti-corrosion, lubrication, threadlocking, etc).

“At Leonix we have an integrated in-house production model that covers over 5,000m2,” points out the company. “This includes a raw material warehouse, a cold forming department – with up to five blocks machines, a modern mechanical workshop, a threading department, turning/milling department, packaging department, as well as a laboratory fully equipped with the most modern control devices for inspect incoming goods and screws in all production stages.”

Leonix highlights that its investments are constantly focused on combining the implementation of new technologies, according to Industry 4.0, with sustainability. “With this in mind, we have recently installed a 250Kw photovoltaic system on the roof of the company, which is an important step in our efforts to reduce our impact on the environment, as well as to decrease energy costs,” explains Leonix.

In response to the markets and customers’ needs, Leonix has recently dedicated its efforts and research to further develop a range of machined screws. “These items are the result of the synergy between the economic competitiveness of the cold forging process and the flexibility and precision of the turning process,” mentions Leonix. “Compared to traditional bar production, the product is more replicable, has excellent mechanical properties, and it is cheaper. We see a lot of potential in this area and will continue to conduct research into opportunities.”

After the unpredictable events of the last three years, which has put the markets and society as a whole to the test, Leonix is looking forward to the Fastener Fair Global show in Stuttgart, Germany, so that it can showcase its capabilities and once again get face-to-face with visitors and customers. 

“The shortages in raw materials, price volatility, as well as energy cost increases, have all been challenges for our business, which we have been able to overcome thanks to the long-lasting cooperation we have with our valuable customers and suppliers,” states Leonix. “Moreover, these challenges have created the opportunity to retain new customers thanks to our flexibility and efficiency – driven by our highly skilled and dedicated team and their excellent purchasing and production planning capabilities. Going forward, we will continue to remain a point of reference for long-lasting business and we look forward to meeting visitors at Fastener Fair Global to discuss future work together.”
