    03.04.2023 "Exceptionally good" - Positive conclusion after Fastener Fair Global 2023

    Fastener Fair Global 2023 again proved impressively this year that it is the international platform for manufacturers, wholesalers, distributors and suppliers of fastening and fixing technology. Almost 1,000 companies from the industry presented their products, machines, tools and related services at the fair, including the company DÖRKEN, manufacturer of zinc flake systems for corrosion protection.

    At the DÖRKEN stand, the experts, including the Key Account Managers René Rother and Klaus Gradtke, held interesting discussions with visitors who were informed about the latest developments in the field of corrosion protection. DÖRKEN presented advanced technologies and innovations that make a significant contribution to the protection of surfaces and materials. One highlight was the new topcoat DELTA-PROTEKT® TC 502 GZ. The product is a hybrid topcoat with excellent friction coefficient properties for use on metric components. It provides a very narrow friction coefficient window, is free of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and has a silver finish.

    The success story of the cooperation with the company Peiner Umformtechnik, a supplier of fasteners for wind turbines, also attracted the attention of the visitors. Here, hot-dip galvanised bolt sets were provided with an additional top coat to keep the friction values stable regardless of weather conditions - a solution that has proven itself with several million sets installed.

    Another big topic at the fair was the partnership between DÖRKEN, EJOT and WMV. The three companies came together in search of a new coating option for micro screws, which the company EJOT manufactures. WMV was involved in this project as a specialist for surface coating plants, DÖRKEN as a supplier of component-specific lacquer. Together, after years of work, they managed to develop an innovative coating process for small parts. A video about this cooperation was on display at the DÖRKEN stand, and it was also the subject of a number of conversations.

    "We were very pleased to finally be back at Fastener Fair Global after four years," says Christos Tselebidis, Vice President Sales Industrial Coatings. "For us at DÖRKEN, the fair was exceptionally good. From the preparation to the last minute, everything worked flawlessly. But most important were all the interesting and insightful conversations we had with current and potentially new partners."

    For DÖRKEN, Fastener Fair Global 2023 was a great success overall. The fair provided an excellent opportunity to talk about new as well as proven solutions and to exchange ideas with other companies and experts.
