Hafren Security Fasteners has opened a new purpose-built storage facility adjacent to its head office in Newtown, Mid Wales.
To help celebrate the completion of the storage facility, Hafren was visited by Assembly Member for Montgomeryshire, Russell George AM, who cut the ribbon for the official opening.
MD Matthew Lynes said: “It is a great day for Hafren as the global home of security fasteners expands again. This new building is more than three times larger than our current warehouse facility; we have built it to meet and exceed the growing demands of our clients, to safeguard jobs, create more jobs and to keep us one-step ahead in everything we do."
Russell George AM said: “I’m delighted that this growing company is securing well paid jobs in the Newtown area. Hafren Fasteners is committed to mid Wales, and this investment further secures the company’s future to the local area which supports the local economy.”
Having more storage space will allow for increased capacity and flexibility to offer distributor customers an even better service, in terms of stock availability and delivery speed, the firm said. It helps to future-proof the business ahead of supply chain threats and transportation issues that could crop up due to external unforeseen incidents, such as Brexit, coronavirus and the like. It also enables extra space for expanding the range of specialist security fasteners and adding more unique and bespoke solutions to their already unrivalled range.
Lynes added: “2020 is our 25th year in this market… it has already seen the launch of one new range and we’re putting a lot of time and investment into R&D & innovation. We are the first globally to stock a range of A4 Stainless Steel security screws, which will no doubt be popular with customers looking for a security fastener that can withstand the harshest environments. Sustainability is key to our business. In line with our ISO 14001 certification we have launched our new range of 100% recycled cardboard packaging and have just added our first fully electric vehicle to our fleet… watch this space on new products and many more exciting developments to come!”
Hafren Security Fasteners is continuing to innovate and bring new and bespoke products to the market. A few months ago, 'Team Orange' added a former-TWR Racing / Jaguar Land Rover engineer to the R&D team helping to continually keep themselves ahead of the ever developing threat and requirement for new and unique security screws, nuts and bolts.
Hafren's range includes sleeve anchors, designed for a wide variety of base materials.
Hafren Security Fasteners are available through approved distributors throughout the United Kingdom and worldwide. Contact 01686 621 300 for more details.
