In 2024 Fixi Group, an Italian company focused on fastening systems and related tools, celebrates its 40th anniversary – with the company already starting the celebrations with the introduction of a new line of speed rivets.
Back in October 2023, during the MOTEK Fair in Stuttgart, Germany, the final piece in the very wide range of fasteners available from Fixi Group was presented to the market – with a new line of speed rivets. This line is available in the most requested diameters of 3.2mm, 4mm, and 4.8mm, with other sizes available upon customer request. The speed rivets can be used in aluminium, steel and stainless steel – with standard or countersunk head and coloured type.
The speed rivets technology permits the installation of 50 – 60 rivets in a very short time, using a self-feeding concept – which Fixi points out enables users to gain a 60% – 71% advantage in terms of installation time when compared to standard blind rivets.
“As a business we have continued to introduce new lines of products as part of our Fixi philosophy, with this new full range of speed rivets a prime example – together with the necessary tools to install them,” underlines Fixi Group. “The new speed rivets line also completes our wide portfolio, which includes blind rivets, threaded inserts, self-clinching fasteners, fasteners for plastic, wire inserts, inserts for tubes, inserts for stones and solid surfaces, as well as the related tools to install.”
Founded in 1984, Fixi Group has grown from an Italian company to become a worldwide leader for industrial solutions and fasteners for sheet metal assembly, with the company using its 40th anniversary as an opportunity to look to the future with optimism and desire to continue developing and growing together with its customers.
