The launch of 'Flow Drilling Rivet®' technology under the ® brand strengthens SFS's leading position in the market for blind rivet solutions. This patent-protected innovation offers much faster cycle times and adds significant value for customers.
At SFS, the convergence of demanding customer requirements and its extensive in-house technology and process expertise is a breeding ground for exceptional ideas. The Riveting division, which sells its products under the
® brand, is the latest example of this. It has developed a new product innovation that offers customers significant advantages.
The 'Flow Drilling Rivet®' (FDR®) is a lightweight blind rivet that drills its own hole during the installation process. In other words, the FDR® system combines the pre-drilling and installation process in a single step. This shortens the entire fastening process and optimizes costs, which represents considerable value added for the customer. The German Patent and Trademark Office has granted SFS a patent for its 'Flow Drilling Rivet®'.
