Design and industrialization of solutions

Fastening engineering: turning technical constraints into industrial advantages

At SECAM Fixing Solutions, fastening engineering is not just about offering a product catalogue. It is a global, performance-driven industrial approach designed to solve real assembly challenges in plastics, light alloys and composite materials. Our objective is clear: secure your assemblies, stabilise your manufacturing processes and guarantee repeatable production, even in large-scale series.

With more than 3,000 references available from stock and recognised expertise in the development of custom solutions, we support both standard requirements and high value-added technical projects.

Screws and inserts for soft materials: solutions built to last

Soft materials impose specific constraints that conventional fastening solutions often fail to address: pull-out resistance, creep, material deformation, insufficient torque retention or premature ageing of assemblies. This is precisely where our technical screws and inserts make the difference.

Our range covers a wide spectrum of industrial applications, from standard to highly demanding uses: self-tapping screws, thread-forming screws, mould-in inserts, post-moulding inserts and custom-designed fasteners. Each solution is engineered to optimise mechanical strength while respecting the characteristics of the host material.

Optimised torque, pull-out strength and repeatability

Thread geometry, head design, drive type and surface treatments are critical parameters. Poor design choices lead to production defects, longer cycle times and increased non-quality costs. Our solutions are developed with one clear goal: a reliable assembly from the very first operation, fully compatible with automated and robotic assembly lines.

Standard or custom: the right answer for your industrial reality

When a standard solution perfectly meets the requirement, we prioritise speed and availability. However, many industrial projects involve constraints related to space, aesthetics, environment (vibration, humidity, temperature) or production rates, making standard fasteners insufficient.

In these cases, we develop custom fastening solutions: adjustment of effective length, diameter or pitch modification, specific drive selection, integration of anti-loosening or sealing functions. The objective is never unnecessary complexity, but a fastening solution that is technically relevant, industrially viable and economically controlled.

Custom parts to drawing: multi-process expertise and large-scale production control

With over 50 years of experience in the design and manufacture of technical fastening components, we support projects ranging from functional prototypes to full-scale industrial production. All shapes, all diameters, all constraints: our know-how covers a broad range of industrial applications.

Machining or cold forming: choosing the right process

Machining is ideal for complex geometries, tight tolerances and small to medium series requiring flexibility. Cold forming is preferred for high-volume production, offering excellent repeatability, optimised unit costs and high production rates. Process selection is never arbitrary: it is driven by your actual technical and industrial needs.

Injection moulding, rotomoulding and overmoulding in composites

Fasteners integrated directly during part manufacturing provide a decisive advantage in terms of robustness and productivity. Our mould-in insert solutions are designed to withstand the thermal and mechanical constraints of injection moulding and rotomoulding processes.

For composite materials and sandwich panels, we offer dedicated solutions that preserve structural integrity while ensuring excellent load transfer. These technologies are particularly well suited to demanding sectors such as transportation, industrial equipment, marine applications and technical enclosures.

Industrial supply chain: securing volumes, lead times and quality

Based in Haute-Savoie and supported by a parent company specialised in precision machining, we have developed a strong culture of industrial supply chain management. This translates into controlled lead times, full batch traceability and the ability to support ramp-ups without supply disruption.

Our organisation allows us to anticipate requirements, maintain strategic stock levels and ensure continuity of supply, even in complex industrial environments.

A results-driven approach, not just a catalogue

Choosing SECAM Fixing Solutions means more than selecting a screw or an insert. It means working with a technical partner capable of analysing your application, identifying assembly risks and delivering a pragmatic, industrialised and durable solution.

Whether your project involves standard fasteners, custom-designed components or complex assemblies in composite materials, our team supports you from design through to industrialisation. Share your constraints, volumes and objectives with us: we will turn your fastening challenges into a driver of industrial performance.
