Swedish fastener manufacturer BUMAX strengthened its presence in Turkey by partnering with fastener distributor Standart Civata (STD).

“This collaboration will enable us to better serve our Turkish customers and expand our footprint in this important market,” said Jacob Bergström, Regional Sales Manager at BUMAX.

“BUMAX’s premium stainless-steel fasteners are a perfect fit for the Turkish market, and we are excited to work together to bring these high-performance products to our customers,” said Kuntay Ayberkin, General Manager of Standart Civata. “The technical training and local support provided by BUMAX will be invaluable in ensuring the success of this partnership.”

BUMAX recently held an in-depth training session for the Standart Civata team in Izmir to raise awareness of the unique characteristics and capabilities of BUMAX fasteners.

Founded in 1982, Standart Cıvata operates as part of Norm Holding to distribute fasteners, hardware, and customized fastening solutions, with 160 employees. The company has more than 45,000 pallets of capacity in its sales and logistics centers, and 15,000 tons of inventory at hubs in İzmir, Manisa, Kocaeli, and Ankara.

BUMAX traces its history to the Ashammar Forging & Nail Foundry in 1660 and Ashammar Bolt Factory, which opened in 1899. The company was renamed BUMAX in 1997.
