New UK base for global fastening specialist

Global fastening specialist, Unifast Sistemi di Assemblaggio has opened a new Hampshire based office for its UK partner company, Unifast Fastening Systems. Opening the new premises at Woodlea Park, near Alton in Hampshire, is the first significant step in a planned worldwide expansion by Unifast - one of Europe’s leading fastener manufacturers.

Orientated to offer outstanding customer service, the new site has both engineering design and warehouse facilities. Previously, UK customers had to deal with Unifast’s Italian office, but now they can have their orders fulfilled directly from the fully stocked warehouse at Woodlea Park. The company says its decision to base in Hampshire was due in strong part to the area’s excellent air, road and rail communications and the local availability of skilled staff. The company plans to recruit a number of specialist employees over the coming months.

Unifast believes it will now be better able to service existing, and attract new, clients by providing unparalleled access to its innovative engineering team based at Woodlea Park. “What we want to do is show clients how our higher performance products can reduce their in-placed-costs, from purchase through assembly to final function”, said Unifast’s managing director, Simon Beauchamp. “This is what Unifast is about - we offer our clients innovative, economic but reliable fastening solutions.”

The company has already launched a number of successful products into UK and European markets. These include the KAPti-nut, a cleaner, safer and more environmentally friendly alternative to weld nuts and its quick acting panel fixing system the Fast Turn, one use of which is to secure the noise shields under the vehicles of major European car manufacturers.
