As the development of new, increasingly high performance materials and their applications become more widespread, Inoxdadi is offering a wide range of products from stainless steel nuts and bolts to brass, aluminium and some special alloys, as well as duplex, superalloys, and titanium, in order to meet customers’ needs.

Founded in 1973 for the production of stainless steel fasteners, Inoxdadi Srl supplies nuts, screws, bolts, washers, threaded rods, mechanical and chemical anchors, as well as other fasteners, in a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous materials. A special range of solar fasteners is also available ex-stock. 

Andrea Togni, export manager at Inoxdadi, explains: “The market is constantly changing and so are customer requirements. Service and stock availability have returned to being key factors after years of price being the only decision parameter – with customers wanting stock available 24/7. Geographic positioning has also returned to being important, due to the many international tensions and extreme weather/natural events. Customers are once again reconsidering the importance of having a local supplier.” 

In order to satisfy customers’ ever changing requirements, Inoxdadi is continuing to invest in new machinery to increase its production capabilities. “We felt the need to expand our production range for cold stamped nuts, so that we could satisfy larger and larger slices of the market with products of undisputed quality, through the use of more technologically advanced machines,” Andrea points out. “Today we are able to produce cold pressed nuts up to 36mm across flat – in a variety of materials including the most ‘tough’ alloys, so as to fulfil all the needs of the market.”

Andrea adds: “Our fleet of machines now includes mostly six-station progressive presses. If you think that at the beginning, we had predominately three-station machines, it shows how today we are able to offer a product with high-quality characteristics and a wide variety of geometries. This allows us to compete with top European companies both technologically and in terms of product offerings. Our production sites also meet all standards regarding quality, product and external/internal factory environment.”

From the quantitative point of view, for future developments, Inoxdadi also plans on building a new production site, for which a building lot adjacent to the current one has already been identified and purchased. Other key factors the company plans to focus on for future growth include concentrating on product quality and the flexibility of its manufacturing operations, as well as supplementary services associated with sales.

As a company, Inoxdadi has always been attentive to the quality of products, which is the reason it has in-house quantitative departments that include technologically advanced equipment, such as spectrometers, quantometers, testing machines, sorting machines, as well as traditional laboratory machines (hardness testers, profile projectors, etc) – all helping to guarantee the highest quality standards. 

“Besides quality, service is also key,” states Andrea. “Our customers come to us for the quality of our production, the high-quality of our products, and the added services we offer. This includes quick deliveries, medium and small deliveries, as well as flexibility. The efficiency and reliability of the production processes, and the high technology used, ensure the constant quality of Inoxdadi products, with complete traceability of the chemical physical characteristics of the products, thanks to the batch and casting numbers shown on each package.” 

Thanks to Inoxdadi’s internal optical selection department, customers can be certain of receiving only compliant pieces, as well as the possibility of customised packaging including cartons, boxes, blisters, and the labelling of the products, in order to facilitate the distribution of the articles to the end user. 

Finally, with regards to surface and/or heat treatments, Inoxdadi uses highly qualified external resources capable of responding to the many demands of the market. “Our service providers are the result of continuous research that has seen us work side by side with them for the past 51 years,” underlines Andrea. “We also have a quality system certification by DNV, according to the ISO 9001/2015 standard, and TÜV Rheinland ‘U-ZEICHEN’.”
