Turkish screw supplier EverFast is planning to move into a new factory in the coming months, which will see it almost double its production capacity and enable the company to continue to supply a wide range of quality fasteners to customers.

Based in Istanbul, EverFast Dış Ticaret Limited Şti looks to use the latest technology, and the experience within the company, to ensure the most suitable products for industries including automotive, white goods, electronics, construction, wholesale and general engineering. The company can supply a variety of cold formed parts such as screw for plastics, screws for metals, special screws, as well as bolts, nuts and washers, plus springs and turned parts.

“Europe is our main market, with almost 85% of our sales coming from European distributors and wholesalers,” explains EverFast. “We know how crucial it is for us to be able to meet our customers’ needs, which is why we decided to invest in a new factory with over 1,000m2 of production space, as well as increase the number of production machines.”

“Our existing facility had reached its limits regarding space and it was necessary to move so that we could not only double our production capacity, but also increase the amount of stock. We are very excited to be moving in the summer, as we will be able to further meet the expectations of our customers. We know very well that you must be flexible to be a reliable supplier to wholesalers – from what types of products you can supply, to being able to provide fast production and quick delivery times. The new facility will allow us to do this and will make a big difference.”

This extension to its production capacity comes at a key point for EverFast, with the company receiving a large number of requests from both existing and new customers due to the anti-dumping duties on certain iron and steel fasteners from China. “We have received several RFQs from companies over the last couple of months, which has justified our decision to invest,” points out EverFast. “With the introduction of the anti-dumping duties for China, we believe Turkey will be one of main suppliers for the European fastener industry going forward and we are in a strong position to benefit from this opportunity.”

EverFast continues: “Not only do we have a wide product range that we can supply customers, but our ability to offer very short delivery times is one of our most important services. As a business we can also provide technical support and help customers with any special requirements – such as special custom-made products or customised packing.”

Another area that EverFast is keen to highlight is its focus on quality, with it ensuring a quality system is applied in every part of production – from the supply of the raw material all the way through to the shipping of the final goods. “The quality level of our products and services are key to us being ‘one step ahead’ of our competitors,” states EverFast. “We are able to provide all the necessary requested quality reports for specific industries – such as the automotive and white goods sectors.”

“There have been significant improvements in the Turkish fastener sector over recent years when it comes to quality. Turkish companies are all competing to increase quality levels, due to the increasing export numbers, and this has led to ‘Made in Turkey’ representing a very satisfying quality level of products alongside a reasonable price level.”

Even with the company planning to move into its new facility in the summer, EverFast is still looking to continue to invest. “If the market keeps growing as we expect, we are planning to continue to make new investments in Q4 of this year, which will see us once again increase our production capacity and add further products to our portfolio. This will be supported with us expanding the number of team members.”

EverFast concludes: “We believe that our strength comes from happy customers and to make happy customers we are pushing very hard. Competition is very tough in the market, which is why every customer is important for us, no matter how big the order they place. With the vision of our management, our strong financial structure, and valuable team members, we will dedicate all our efforts to not only satisfy but exceed our customers’ expectations. We have a strong belief there are even more good days ahead for EverFast.”
