„FASTENING TECHNOLOGIES FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS

WELL POSITIONED FOR THE CHALLENGES OF TOMORROW

Our customers face new challenges every day. Our aim is not only to meet their current needs, but also to support them in their future-oriented plans and visions. Over 450 employees in more than 40 countries work every day to achieve this.

We always focus on the latest developments and requirements when designing our devices and fasteners. In addition to changing working conditions, this also includes new technologies for the use of innovative materials. Automation technology is particularly important to us. We cooperate worldwide with the leading manufacturers of bridge systems and robot technology in order to always offer our valued customers the best solution for sustainable and reliable fastening.

So that our customers can concentrate on their core business, it is crucial that they can rely on the quality and high standard of our products. For this reason, we place great emphasis on strict quality controls and first-class service. With over 110 years of experience, we are very aware of our responsibility to our customers.

THREE BRANDS – THREE MARKETS

In order to offer our customers the best possible result, it is very important for us to understand their core businesses and markets and to serve them accordingly. This is why we at the BeA Group have tailored our brands specifically to the requirements of the markets. This applies not only to our appliances, but also to all our fasteners.

FOR AUTOMATION

With our “autotec” brand, we are the leading provider of automated fastening solutions for production systems and robotic systems in the wood processing industry in Europe. Many of our systems have been in use for decades and continue to deliver the same quality as on day one, even after millions of work cycles.

FOR INDUSTRY

With our “BeA” brand, we supply our industrial customers primarily with hand staplers and nailers for industrial timber construction, furniture production, pallet repair and the manufacture of packaging made of wood and wood-like materials. Here, too, we are the market leader in Europe.

FOR PROFESSIONALS

We have developed and optimized the products of our “KMR” brand especially for professionals in non-industrial timber construction. Our high-quality products and our broad product range stand for reliability and durability.
