PEM UK is the UK branch of PennEngineering, focusing on the distribution of PEM Brand fasteners through strategic distribution partners to UK customers and markets.
In 2005, PennEngineering was acquired by Tinicum Capital Partners; a New York, USA, based investment company.
Tinicum highly value the PEM brand of self clinching fasteners and look to focus their strategy around this core PEM product range.
Resulting from this, a new distribution strategy has been developed, which will allow PEM UK to greatly increase their market coverage throughout the UK and indeed provide a superior service to support their valued customers.
PEM UK is therefore pleased to announce a strategic partnership with three, established UK fastener distributors.
These new PEM distributor partners will be responsible for the support, servicing and supply of existing accounts, for products previously purchased from Arconix UK.
The three new UK PEM distributor partners are Anixter Industrial (formerly Infast), Roy Hopwood (Fasteners), and Zygology.
These distributors have been carefully selected to work closely with PEM UK to continue to provide the high standards of product quality, customer service and technical support that existing PEM customers expect and value.
These new PEM distributor partners can help you gain a competitive edge, providing solutions from unique fasteners to complete assembly systems, engineered and delivered to optimize and add value to your operation.
PEM UK will focus its efforts on supporting their new UK distribution partners and direct strategic accounts whilst further developing relationships at core automotive, OEM and global CEM customers.
PEM brand fasteners utilize self-clinching, broaching, flaring, surface mount, or weld technology to provide strong, reusable, and permanent threads in thin sheet metal or PC board materials.
