One year of collaboration between Swedish fastener manufacturer BUMAX AB and Star Stainless Screw Company, a LindFast Solutions Group company, has seen significant progress in growth and strategic expansion in North America.
Since the agreement was signed by the parties exactly one year ago, efforts have been centred on sales operations, go-to-market strategies, and building industry awareness in the North American marketplace. With multiple STAR Stainless locations now stocking BUMAX products, its customers nationwide enjoy seamless access to BUMAX’s renowned high-performance stainless-steel fasteners—products backed by a century of expertise in stainless steel materials and precision engineering.
“Some of the strongest partnerships are those that evolve over time,” said Jacob Bergström, Segment Manager for Distributors at BUMAX. “This past year has shown the results of years of persistence and relationship-building.”
“Together, we are not only improving product access but also educating key industries on the unique performance advantages BUMAX brings to critical applications,” added Tim Roberto, President of STAR Stainless. “At STAR, our goal is to be the industry's most dependable partner by offering the broadest, deepest, and most ubiquitous inventory in the market. Partnering with BUMAX enables us to meet stringent stainless-steel standards and specifications not historically available. Their engineering expertise makes what was once thought impossible now a reality.”
With increasing demand for higher-grade stainless-steel products across defence, marine, petrochemical, construction, semiconductor, and space technology, the BUMAX–STAR Stainless partnership is well-positioned to meet those needs with exceptional technical solutions and reliable nationwide availability. With year one complete, both teams are eager to deepen their collaboration and further solidify BUMAX’s presence across North America.
“After recently joining BUMAX USA, I’ve seen this partnership as key to our expansion in North America,” concludes Ben Linville, Head of Sales at BUMAX, USA. “I’m excited for this collaboration to continue delivering value to STAR Stainless' extensive distribution network and redefine what OEMs can expect from stainless steel fastener performance in the American market.”
