60 years of plastic fasteners 28 November 2016

In 1956 Mr Norbert Bülte decided to establish his own company in Lüdinghausen, Germany, developing the polyamide Bülte locking and sealing washer. This year, Bülte is celebrating its 60th anniversary and now offers more than 25,000 references in plastic hardware.   

After extending its product range to include screws and spacers back in 1979, the company opened a French office and UK subsidiary to increase its presence in other European markets.

A purpose built warehouse and office complex was later built in France (pictured), and Groupe Bülte was formed in 1997. Bülte now supplies 120 countries worldwide.

The company prides itself on quality, reliability and service – delivered to its customers through an international sales network with significant knowledge and dynamism. “Bülte offers personalised advice and support from our team of experts who are here to guide customers through their projects from inception to completion. We specialise on going beyond our borders with a multilingual sales team to adopt the best production methods to suit the technical and financial requirements,” explains Marina Badel, service communication at Bülte.

Bülte specialises in plastic protection, nylon and plasto-metallic fasteners. Its large range includes washers, bushings, nuts, screws, screw caps, protection caps, plugs, cable clips, cables ties, and threaded rods – making the company a key partner in all sectors of industry. The company ensures the quality and reliability of its products with an ISO 9001 certification.

In order to provide the products and service customers require Bülte works with the customer step-by-step. “Establishing and assessing the customer’s needs and offering advice and guidance is crucial to a quick turnaround and good service,” explains Marina.

Marina concludes: “For the next 60 years Bülte will continue to invest and innovate to always answer customers’ needs – making sure the right solution is found.”
