Who is Böllhoff and what does it make?
Böllhoff is a German manufacturer of special fasteners and joining technologies, with global operations organised under its own concept of “360° joining technology”. The range covers fasteners, assembly technology and logistics solutions for small components (Kanban, C-Parts Management), including its own products such as the SPREDLOC® expansion anchoring system, accessible from one side only. From the Böllhoff range we can quote assembly components and supply solutions for production lines.
What sets Böllhoff apart from a simple screw supplier is its integrated approach: the company does not sell only the fastener, but also the logistics of supplying it directly to the workstation, through Kanban systems and the management of small assembly parts (C-Parts Management). SPREDLOC® is an example of a niche product — an expansion anchoring system, accessible from one side only, for situations where the opposite side of the part cannot be reached during installation. The company also has an accredited testing laboratory for verifying the performance of connections.
For Romania, Böllhoff is relevant for manufacturers in automotive, machine building and the railway industry that need either special fasteners for demanding applications, or a reorganisation of the supply of small assembly parts through a structured Kanban system.
What do we supply from the Böllhoff range?
| Product | Description |
|---|---|
| Special fasteners | A range of fastening elements developed for applications where a standard screw or nut does not give the performance needed — resistance to vibration, to pull-out or to corrosion. Used in assemblies where repeated disassembly and reassembly or high mechanical stress call for a dedicated solution. For a quotation, the customer must send the technical drawing of the assembly or the code of the existing fastener, plus the material of the components to be joined. |
| SPREDLOC® — expansion anchoring, accessible from one side only | An expansion anchoring system, accessible from one side only, used when the opposite side of the joint cannot be reached during installation. For a quotation, the customer states the material of the host component and the thread diameter needed. |
| Kanban and C-Parts Management solutions | A system for supplying small assembly parts (screws, nuts, fastening elements) directly to the workstation. It reduces the time operators spend managing the stock of small components. For a quotation, the customer describes the current production process and the types of small parts frequently used. |

How do we supply Böllhoff in Romania?
For Böllhoff we work from the manufacturer's technical documentation when preparing a quotation — we tell the customer plainly what we have checked in the documentation and what remains to be confirmed at order. We source Böllhoff fasteners and inserts through EU supply channels, to order, usually in 1–4 weeks from placing the order. For a correct quotation, the customer must send the technical drawing of the assembly or the product code, the material of the components to be joined and the quantity needed. Availability for the Böllhoff range is confirmed in the quotation, and we check each request individually before confirming a lead time.
The Böllhoff Kanban logistics system is based on a long-term supply contract, and our offer focuses on the fasteners and inserts themselves.
Frequently asked questions about Böllhoff
What is the Böllhoff SPREDLOC system?
SPREDLOC is the Böllhoff expansion anchoring solution, accessible from one side of the material, used where the opposite side of the part cannot be reached during installation. It is frequently used in lightweight structures or panels where drilling all the way through is not possible or not wanted, giving a stable fixing without access to both faces.
What is the difference between RIVNUT and RIVSTUD at Böllhoff?
RIVNUT is a blind rivet nut, which creates an internal thread in a hole, while RIVSTUD is a rivet stud, which provides an external thread, also installed from one side of the material. The choice depends on the type of component to be fastened afterwards, with a screw or with a nut, and on the access space available.
Do you supply Böllhoff fasteners in Romania?
Yes, Böllhoff fasteners are ordered from the manufacturer's range, usually in 1–4 weeks, sourced to order given the very large number of variants and sizes. For a correct quotation we need the base material, the thickness of the part and the load the joint must carry.
How do I request a Böllhoff quotation?
Send the Böllhoff code from the nameplate and the quantity; we reply in English with availability and the lead time written in the quotation.
