Superior Fastening Technology have two manufacturing bases in China the latest being a 15,000 square-metre manufacturing and surface treatment in Huizhou and a new facility in Shanghai sited on 30,000 square metres of land.

The new Shanghai facility has a 11,700 square-metre purpose-built main building which is our key manufacturing centre in China. Here, we have more than 200 cold forming and computer controlled precision tools to enable the manufacture of components from the simplest rivets to highly complex multi-stage fasteners. An adjacent building houses electro-plating and heat treatment facilities. All the test, inspection and measuring equipment are located on-site for full quality assurance. With these critical parts of our manufacturing process sited together, the Group is able to respond even faster and more cost effectively as it serves its customers.
