Ahead of its appearance at this year’s International Fastener Expo, BUMAX AB has signed a new master distribution partner in the US, Star Stainless Screw Company.
The move is a significant step forward in BUMAX’s route to market in the US, it said, as well as another part of its ongoing development strategy for the North America region. The news comes hot on the heels of BUMAX's announcement of a new Canadian master distributor.
Established in 1950, Star Stainless Screw Co. has built a reputation throughout the US as an importer and distributor of fastener products in a range of stainless steel and other exotic alloy materials. With a network of distribution centres in strategic locations, Star Stainless is well placed to serve its extensive customer base of fastener and industrial component suppliers across the country.

We feel the quality of product from BUMAX, partnered with the reputation Star has for offering the highest of quality of product and service will be a perfect fit. We look forward to our partnership and thank BUMAX for their trust in Star’s excellence in distribution,” said Tim Roberto, President, Star Stainless Screw Co.
Star Stainless will be responsible for stocking and supplying the extensive BUMAX range of high-strength stainless steel products to fastener distributors and industrial product suppliers throughout the US. This partnership will significantly improve the availability, accessibility and speed of supply of BUMAX products to customers in the US.
Jacob Bergström, BUMAX Segment Manager, Distribution, said: “After a long road, I am happy to see our agreement finalised. A key challenge in the US has always been the geographic size and diversity of the market. Bringing together the expertise of both companies, we can now begin the important work of raising awareness of the advantages of BUMAX high-strength stainless steel fasteners in the US market and making our products more readily available throughout the region.”
As aforementioned, BUMAX will be exhibiting at this year’s International Fastener Expo (IFE) in Las Vegas over 9-11 September to raise awareness of the new partnership with Star Stainless Screw Company.
