Fitting in with World Leading Fastener Brand
With precision German engineering and a passion for quality, EJOT are firmly established as the market leader in advanced fastening technologies. Our Meet the Manufacturers spotlight falls on this 100+ year old brand who continue to innovate.
Established in 1922 in the village of Berghausen in Germany, EJOT is capitalising on over a century of experience with continued innovation in fastening technologies.
EJOT’s development of the PT self-tapping screw for thermoplastics was one of the key drivers behind capturing around 80% market share in Germany before expanding into the UK in 1984.
Innovations such as the JF3 non-skid, no swarf stitching screw combined with continuous investment into expansion and new plant and facilities now see EJOT employ around 3,500 people in 36 subsidiaries worldwide.
Trusted by professionals in a huge range of industries globally, EJOT is a member of the Global Fastener Alliance, the global network of independent suppliers of engineered high quality fasteners.
In the UK, EJOT is further seen as an innovating force introducing UK-specific product solutions such as the Opticore self-coring fastening system for membrane faced composite panels.
In addition to this, the UK Applitec Centre provides an invaluable in-house technical testing resource which is used by the company and also by OEMs looking to develop systems in partnership with EJOT.
Many EJOT fasteners carry full ETA, whilst others such as the Colorfast self-drilling range now carry globally recognised FM approval and are trusted and approved by virtually every roof and cladding system manufacturer in the UK, with many recommending their use where project warranties are required.
The company’s commitment to ISO9001 quality management systems ensure EJOT is at the forefront of ensuring that all their manufacturing, packaging and logistic processes meet the strictest environmental and sustainability criteria, which has enabled the company to partner with major manufacturers in the construction, automotive and white goods industries throughout Europe and the rest of the world.
With multi-use functionality and unsurpassed quality, EJOT fasteners are a proven option to have on hand, and here at Tektum, we’re proud to carry the entire building fastener range. We know from experience the peace of mind our customers enjoy as a result of the high standards of EJOT’s manufacturing.
“We have years of experience of working with various members of the Tektum team,” says Robert Hardstaff, Managing Director of EJOT UK.
“When they established Tektum in 2020, it made sense for us to continue working together. We base a lot of our innovation on what we hear from our customers, so it’s important for us to work with distributors who we know have technical expertise we can rely on.”
With EJOT’s company values highlighting the importance they place on working with experts throughout the supply chain, we’re proud to be a major player in distributing their products throughout Scotland and beyond.
As a values-led organisation ourselves, we are fully in support of EJOT’s mission to “…enable our customers to deliver a more sustainable future by building better and lighter.”
