Beginnings
The company began trading in 2012, building its foundations and growth on a wealth of combined knowledge and experience within the fastener industry, covering both Domestic & Export.
SFC (Europe) Initially focused on a stockholding position, primarily for studding, studbolts and nuts. Due to increasing success in our earlier years, particularly the Export market, it enabled the company to enhance its operations.
Growth
SFC (Europe) further strengthened its position by the acquisition of a specialist manufacturing company in 2016. This enabled us to manufacture and supply specialist safety critical components in accordance with client specifications and drawings.
The company is continuing to expand, acquiring new plant and warehousing, allowing us to maintain and grow our existing high-quality focus, proven by its ability to support and satisfy Blue Chip companies and SME’s.
Development
To maintain and develop our position within our industry sectors, we are constantly looking to adapt to the changing requirements, Internationally & Domestically.
SFC (Europe) secured major accreditations such as PED in 2018 and NORSOK in 2021, with plans in place to continue our growth.
