Profast, Peiner Products and their Production

Profast are proud to be the distribution partner in the UK and Ireland for Peiner Umformtechnik GmbH, the leading manufacturer of the highest performance bolts for use in structural steel construction, wind turbines, the automotive sector and other applications where fasteners are absolutely critical.

Peiner list among their many customers; Siemens, Daimler, VW Group, BPF, DAF, Alstom, and Hochtief. Their bolts have been used on many iconic projects, including:

  • The first bridge over the Bosphorus in Istanbul
  • The Harilaos Trikoupis Bridge across the Straits of Corinth, Greece, one of the longest multi-span cable stayed bridges in the world, which is situated in a seismic zone
  • The Burj al Arab Hotel, Dubai, the world’s grandest hotel
  • The Allianz Arena, Munich, one of the most dramatic stadiums in the world
  • Offshore and onshore wind farms around the world

Profast aim to provide the fullest range of fasteners to comply with the requirements of the Construction Products Regulation, for steel, concrete and timber structures. In particular the new standards and test procedures require much higher levels of product batch traceability as part of the process to allow CE marking. To help us complete our product range for structural steelwork, Peiner is the perfect partner, not only in their broad range of in-house manufacturing and product development capabilities, but also because of their total commitment to Factory Production Control. On their HV bolts and nuts CE marked in compliance with EN14399-4, batch traceability is even extended to the individual product, with the bolt heads and nuts individually marked. Where normally the traceability is lost once the product is separated from its packaging, it will be possible to link back the in-situ bolt to the Peiner production batch records many years later.

Peiner production capabilities include:

  • Cold and hot forging
  • Bolts and studs from M12 to M72, grades 8.8, 10.9 and 12.9
  • Wheel bolts
  • Self locking bolts
  • Manufacturing from special alloys
  • Special coatings for corrosion resistance, friction reduction and aesthetics

With 93 years of production experience, Peiner is able to provide very high levels of technical support and advice. Coupled with Profast’s 56 years of distribution and site support experience in the UK and Ireland, we form a perfect partnership for delivering technical performance and peace of mind.
