Fastener supplier reduces prices
Despite recent severe rises in raw material costs, a specialist single-source supplier of fasteners, as well as special-purpose turned and cold formed parts, is reducing prices.
The direct email-based response mechanism has been designed initially as a response to enquiries about the new 60kN (6 tonf) Prima Inserter self-clinch sheet metal fastener installation press - the machine allows fasteners to be easily inserted into either box- or C-type workpieces and will accommodate various materials from 0.5mm to 6mm thick.
Incorporating interactive links, a short video clip of the press in action and a PDF attachment that contains comprehensive details about the cost-competitive press, the e-quote also illustrates how a range of accessories can be used to make the machine into a flexible production aid to suit a wide range of applications.
"Our e-quote clearly illustrates how the LCM Prima inserter, a machine that has become very popular worldwide, has been progressively enhanced with capabilities to meet a variety of user demands in a fast and reliable way," said sales director Steve Smith.
"We have no doubt that this machine will prove equally as popular throughout Europe, particularly due to its adaptability and cost-effectiveness," he said.
"The creation of an e-quote that provides enquirers with full information about the machine - including its price - is just another example of the systems we have in place for high-level customer service." He added that the e-quote methods could be extended as a quick-fire quotation method to embrace Northern Precision's 5,000 in-stock standard fastener lines for most applications and materials.
Accredited to BS EN ISO 9001:2000, Northern Precision supplies the NP brand of self-clinching fasteners, rivet bushes, sheet nuts, high-strength and broaching fasteners, weld nuts and studs, cage nuts and blind rivets, as well as special turned and cold-formed components to customer requirements.
