Expanding to meet growing demand for security fasteners

Mr Lynes added that “2020 is our 25 th 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 and innovation. We are the rst 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 certi cation we have launched our new range of 100 per cent recycled cardboard packaging and have just added our rst fully electric vehicle to our eet.”

Mr George commented, “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 exibility to o er distributor customers better service in terms of stock availability and delivery speed. It will also help to future-proof the business ahead of supply chain threats and transportation issues that could occur due to external unforeseen incidents such as the coronavirus epidemic. The extra space will allow an expansion of the range of specialist security fasteners and the ability to add more bespoke solutions.

The team at Hafren Security Fasteners has cut the ribbon on a new purpose-built storage facility adjacent to its head o ce in Newtown, Wales.
