The hidden costs of low cost fasteners

Choosing low cost fasteners may seem convenient at first glance, but the apparent savings may hide critical issues that are difficult to manage along the supply chain. The use of non-compliant or uncertified materials exposes companies to real risks: unreliable breaking loads, inconsistent heat treatments, and coatings that fail to ensure the corrosion resistance required by standards.
A single non-conformity can cause production stoppages, defects in finished products, and industrial costs far exceeding the initial savings.
For this reason, quality cannot be treated as a simple economic variable. It must be demonstrated, measurable, and fully traceable.
The quality that really matters
In the metalworking field, talking about quality means ensuring:
• materials and treatments consistency;
• dimensional and mechanical checks on each batch;
• certified compliance with technical standards;
• complete traceability from the supplier to the end customer.
These factors together ensure production continuity and application safety.
