Clips & Fixings

 

The key properties of thermoplastics, together with the specialist expertise of our dedicated in-house Design Team, enables us to add value to our products through the integration of additional features that maximise functionality. Features such as fixing brackets, flanges, clip-on rollers and  integral ball bearings, eliminate the need for screws, washers, bolts and pins, thereby reducing the number of components, suppliers and assembly time to deliver whole system cost reductions.
