Through its focus on developing and improving its product range, with the introduction of mostly patented innovative fastening systems, Specialinsert Srl has become a global supplier to over 82 countries around the world.
Specialinsert is always looking to introduce new innovations to the market, such as the Deform-Ti® – a threaded tubular rivet fully made of titanium alloy and designed for installation on sheet metal and composite panels.
“Thanks to our R&D orientated business strategy we are always looking at new solutions, with the Deform-Ti emerging from the evolution of one of our leading products – Deform Nut,” explains Specialinsert. “The Deform-Ti is ideal for applications where there is no possible access from the inside, such as tubes, metal sheets and box structures, and also meets stringent industry standards regarding weight control and mechanical strength capacity.”
Another innovative solution from Specialinsert includes the KEEP-NUT®, a revolutionary self anchoring insert for stone and solid surfaces, which has also achieved ETA certification (ETA – 15/0615). “The KEEP-NUT is a perfect solution for wall cladding and ventilated façade projects within the building and construction industry,” mentions Specialinsert. “The product is manufactured in stainless steel and is made of a threaded bush, with a set of toothed spring washers and a plastic ring holding the parts together.”
Both of these products underline Specialinsert’s principles of quality and reliability. “Being an Italian manufacturer means that we are always looking to provide the very best solutions for our customers, as this helps us stand out within the market,” states Specialinsert. “However, customers are focusing more and more on price rather than quality. To combat this, we need to provide additional services such as technical guidance, before and after sales support, as well as tailor-made solutions to perfectly match their needs.”
Another area that Specialinsert believes will play an important role will be technology and automation, which will become even more of a factor due to the Covid-19 pandemic. “The outbreak of Covid-19 has had a huge impact on the market and we have obviously had a considerable drop in turnover, but compared to the sector we feel that it has not gone so badly,” mentions Specialinsert. “The uncertainty of the period however does not allow us to make too many forecasts, much less implement particular strategies. However, we will continue to strengthen our research and development and invest in innovation, which is the only real key to staying in the market in a diversified position. We will also try to become specialised in specific sectors in order to be a reference point for the market.”
