SPAX: Innovative joining technology ‘Made in Germany’

SPAXhas been setting standards in joining technology for decades: with quality and innovative new products. That is why SPAXin its characteristic green packaging has become the embodiment of the modern screw for many handymen across the globe. But even though the SPAXbrand product is nowadays sold on the international market the connecting elements are still being produced in Germany, at the domestic company location in the Westphalian town Ennepetal.

And this is exactly where the certification ‘Made in Germany’ was carried out by the German Technical Inspection Agency TÜV in a sophisticated test procedure for SPAXscrews. After all, the easiest way to implement and control the high quality standards of the SPAXbrand product is to do this at the domestic location using qualified specialists. In times of globalisation, the product label ‘Made in Germany’ is also gaining significance amongst consumers as an important buying criterion. After all, the origin not only stands for quality, but also for the safeguarding of local work and training positions. Many customers therefore specifically select domestic products, because they trust the promise of quality and because they want to support the respective business location.

Certified Proof of Origin of the TÜV NORD for SPAX

With the certified proof of origin of TÜV and the corresponding seal, the customer receives a confirmation that more than 50% of the value creation of a product took place in the named country and also that the company is contributing to the strengthening of the national production location through training and investment. With the TÜV certificate, customersnow have official proof that the SPAX screws from Ennepetal are ‘Made in Germany’.

SPAXconsciously subjected itself to this examination procedure including audits on site, supplier interviews and document reviews, in order to make a contribution to safeguarding the location and to offer its customers the highest levels of reliability and transparency. Because it continues to be SPAX International’s goal to produce high-grade, quality-controlled products while keeping in mind the social responsibility for location and employees at all times.
