SPAX: Making the Best Connections!
SPAX International
For decades, SPAX International has stood for innovative, quality screw manufacturing. The success story began as early as 1823 when, under the name of Altenloh, Brinck & Co. (ABC), the company started industrial production of screws. With an uncompromising focus on quality, the company successfully transformed from a screw manufacturer into a specialist in fastening technology.
In 1967 ABC revolutionized the market with the introduction of the SPAX universal screw, marking a leap in technological developments in screw production. The universally compatible SPAX secured the company a leading position on the screw market for years to come.
ABC has also become the market leader for wheel bolts in Europe along with co-founding the International Cold-forming Alliance in 1999 together with Rockford (USA) and Osaka Rashi (Japan).
In 2005 ABC revolutionized the market yet again with the new SPAX.
