It all began in Åshammar, the small village that holds the world together.

BUMAX® manufactures premium stainless steel fasteners in a variety of steel grades that provide optimal safety and reliability in the most demanding customer applications. But where did it all begin?

From an Åshammar forge in 1660 to pioneering stainless steel fasteners in 1926, our journey has been one of continuous innovation. Today, BUMAX® is proud to hold the title of the world’s strongest stainless steel bolt and we have the stories to prove it.

Join us as we celebrate 100 years of stainless steel fastener manufacture at BUMAX by diving into our archives, history and the remarkable moments that shaped us.
