Profil - the UK's leading supplier of pierce nut and stud assembly technology - has added a new range of aluminium variants to its versatile fastening system for sheet metal components.
Pierce nuts preferred for feet attachment
After evaluating various rivet nut alternatives the Dyson engineering team selected pierce nuts as our preferred option to attach feet onto a high performance washing machine.
According to Profil's UK sales manager, Adrian Ellis, "The Irish manufacturing sector has grown rapidly over recent years, and today is characterised by many highly capable tool making, presswork and fabrication operations." Ellis continued: "They recognise that the ability to mount high strength male or female threads in sheet metal components at more than 100 parts per minute can deliver major benefits - particularly within automotive and domestic appliance sectors".
"As a result, Profil already supplies a number of the country's vehicle sub-assembly manufacturers with pierce fasteners in standard, large flange, shouldered, conical, ultra low profile, high shear and flush fitting forms".
"Expansion of our activities in Ireland enables us to bring the wealth of applications experience we have built up with European, American and Japanese volume manufacturers to a much wider cross section of Irish engineers".
"We are therefore confident of building on our existing foundation with ongoing growth in this important market during the coming months." * About Profil UK - based in Coalville, Leicestershire, Profil UK draws on more than 30 years experience in the development and application of pierce fastening technology.
The company offers a comprehensive range of fastener styles and installation equipment - all backed by ISO 9001 certification - and is a principal supplier to customers throughout the automotive, domestic appliance and sheet metal fabrication sectors.
