We look forward to our partnership and thank BUMAX for their trust in Star’s excellence in distribution,” stated Star Stainless president Tim Roberto.

Star Stainless will stock and supply the BUMAX range of high-strength stainless steel products to fastener distributors and industrial product suppliers throughout the US. This partnership will  improve the availability, accessibility and speed of supply of BUMAX products to U.S. customers.

“A key challenge in the US has always been the geographic size and diversity of the market,” stated Jacob Bergström, BUMAX Segment Manager, Distribution. “Bringing together the expertise of both companies, we can now begin the important work of raising awareness of the advantages of BUMAX high-strength stainless steel fasteners in the US market and making our products more readily available throughout the region.”

For Canada, BUMAX chose Fuller Fasteners.

BUMAX “offers high-tensile strengths previously exclusive to only high alloy steels,” stated Hans Fuller, managing director, Fuller Metric Parts Ltd.

“This… means that you no longer have to compromise – BUMAX offers solutions that ensures durability and strength, without compromising corrosion resistance.”

Fuller Fasteners will stock and supply the BUMAX range of standard products to fastener distributors and industrial product suppliers throughout Canada.

“Our team will work closely with Fuller Fasteners over the coming months to introduce the BUMAX brand and its range of high-performance stainless-steel products to fastener distributors across the region by providing necessary training and technical support,” stated Jacob Bergström, BUMAX segment manager, Distribution.

BUMAX will support both distributorships at this year’s International Fastener Expo (IFE) in Las Vegas from September 9-11 to promote the new partnerships. Web: bumax-fasteners.com
