NORTHERN PRECISION ENGINEERS ANOTHER SUCCESSFUL EUROPEAN DISPLAY

Northern Precision Ltd (http://www.npfasteners.com), the Doncaster-based specialist single-source supplier of sheet metal fasteners as well as special-purpose turned and cold-formed parts, has returned from its latest foray into Europe - the Stuttgart Fastener Fair – with a large number of serious enquiries and good quality sales leads from both existing and prospective customers.

Sales Director Steve Smith reports that visitors to the stand came from all over Europe and Scandinavia, even from Latin America, and that while a high level of interest was shown in all products within the company’s comprehensive fastener range, the self-clinch products proved most popular.

“Indeed, one visitor actually brought a component to the stand,” he says, “and we were able to demonstrate how the correct application engineering and fastener can combine to generate cost-down benefits in the assembly of the part.

“Importantly, our attendance at the Fair was also the latest of a series of strategic sales, supply and service initiatives designed to reinforce the European positioning of Northern Precision and its extensive network of overseas partners, ready for the next exciting phase of the company’s development.”

Northern Precision’s continual progression – it is on course this year to ship over 50 million piece parts – is being further enhanced by the company’s imminent move to a purpose-designed £500,000 facility. This has specially-constructed administration and sales offices, ‘flowline’ product receipt/quarantine, storage and despatch areas, as well as dedicated product inspection and meeting/training facilities.

Accredited to BS EN ISO 9001:2000, the company maintains an extensive variety of 5,000 in-stock standard line items covering most applications and materials. The company supplies self-clinching fasteners, rivet bushes, sheet nuts, high-strength and broaching fasteners, weld nuts and studs, cage nuts and blind rivets, as well as special turned and cold-formed components to customer requirements.
