Four UK fastener firms have merged to form the Rivet Company.

Scell-it UK, Kamtech Fasteners, and Arpel, alongside their partner company Rivco, have rebranded as The Rivet Company to simplify operations and strengthen supply across the UK.

The newly merged businesses have consolidated more than £3.5 million worth of stock across two warehouses into one central system, streamlining its operations and improving delivery times.

The Rivet Company will be the exclusive distributors of the ELEMENT brand in the UK. ELEMENT, which was introduced in Europe over 15 years ago, will replace the former Scell-it (UK) Group product branding of ARK and Scell-it. While the packaging has been redesigned, the core product range of rivets, fixings, and setting tools remains unchanged.

“With the Rivet Company and Rivco now working under one brand, the goal is to become the most efficient supplier of rivets, rivet nuts, ETA approved fixings and associated setting tools in the UK,” the company commented.
