Focused Engineering

This is where we break things! As we test our products to their ultimate strength, each failure provides data that brings us closer to success. Our testing facilities are state-of-the-art within our industry and the envy of many professional engineers in academia or at other manufacturers. We have the capability to test steel connectors, concrete anchors, even total building systems to the limits of their performance. The result is that we are able to manufacture products that meet or exceed our customers' expectations - as stated in our quality policy.

Peter Wild and Viv Leach test products every day at the new European test lab in Tamworth, UK, to obtain CE marks for all connectors. This involves obtaining European Technical Approvals and re-testing of a large number of products to the new European standards. The lab tests timber-to-timber and timber-to-masonry products in accordance with the European standards ETAG15 & EN845.
