Growermetal enters into partnership with Nord-Lock Group 30 July 2015

Growermetal Srl and Nord-Lock Group have entered into a strategic production and technical development agreement for the manufacture of wedge-locking washers.

Nord-Lock has seen the global demand for its wedge–locking washers continue to grow strongly. The objective of this strategic cooperation is to ensure a high-quality production capacity and technical development for the future.

Together we will provide the world with wedge-locking products of the highest quality.”
