Applications in the vehicle conversion and outfitting sector


HOW DO OUR PLASTIC FASTENING SOLUTIONS MEET THE NEEDS OF THE VEHICLE OUTFITTING SECTOR?

 


The vehicle outfitting sector requires precise, lightweight, and robust fastening solutions. Our products are specifically designed to simplify assembly operations and ensure the reliability of joints. They also help improve equipment efficiency while optimizing maintenance comfort.


Our metal-plastic fastening solutions perfectly address the specific challenges of the sector, whether for securing panels, organizing cables, or designing high-performance opening and closing mechanisms.

For wood and PP panels inside vehicles

Interior panels are subjected throughout their lifecycle to continuous vibrations, temperature variations, and repeated loads.

For these applications, we offer  fir-tree type plastic fasteners (also known as pine-tree clips), designed as a standardized solution for mass production assembly.

Functional features:

  • PA66 fastening for high mechanical strength
  • Easy installation, suitable for high-speed assembly lines
  • Lightweight design contributing to overall vehicle weight control

The products cover a standard drilling diameter range from 5 to 12 mm, compatible with the punching standards of various OEMs.
Several materials and colors are available to meet the requirements of both functional areas and visible zones.

Robust fixings and cable routing

Adapted to vibrating environments and temperature variations

In vehicle outfitting systems, the method used to secure cables directly impacts operational reliability and safety.
We offer  adhesive cable clip systems designed for harness organization and cable management of functional modules.

System advantages:

  • Reliable retention under dynamic vibration conditions
  • Stable performance despite temperature variations
  • Improved assembly repeatability and reduced maintenance operations

The clips are equipped with high-performance double-sided adhesive systems and can be mounted directly onto painted sheet metal surfaces after prior degreasing.
Combined with plastic cable ties, they enable permanent, non-removable fastening solutions suited to vehicles with long service lifecycles.

Blind assembly with cage nuts

Cage nut systems

For structural assemblies subjected to higher mechanical loads, we offer cage nuts(blind nuts) as an industrialized alternative to rivet nuts (Böllhoff, Bossard, Titgemeyer, etc.).

These systems are designed for fast blind installation on pre-punched sheet metal.

Technical features:

  • Quick front-side installation, suitable for series production
  • Excellent thread retention and assembly repeatability
  • Suitable for medium to high load applications

Cage nuts are available in M5, M6, and M8 versions.
A recently developed 9×9 format, also compatible with painted sheet metal, meets the punching standards used by several European vehicle outfitters (Gentili, Aluca, Sortimo, etc.), facilitating system integration.
