Italian fastener manufacturer Vimi Fasteners has announced that it will supply “special screws” for engines to European supercar manufacturers.
The company said the products will be provided to Italian and British supercar and superbike brands.
“We have succeeded in reducing both overall dimensions and weight, thus improving the performance of the most iconic supercar powertrains. The goal has been achieved thanks to a deep know-how of products and production processes, combined with a careful and strategic management of the raw materials supply chain,” said Marco Sargenti, CEO of Vimi Fasteners.
Vimi Fasteners has a long tradition of supplying high-performance engine fastening systems, with products such as connecting rod bolts, head studs and flywheel bolts.
Over the past decade, the company has further intensified its research and development activities, collaborating with customers, universities and the most qualified research centers to push the limits of the products even further so that they can withstand ever higher loads of mechanical fatigue.
Also of particular interest were the research and development activities on titanium components, which enabled Vimi Fasteners to achieve mechanical strengths comparable to those of high-strength steels. This light and strong material is an ideal solution for the most demanding applications.
