How much might a screw cost?

2016-06-27 News

It’s virtually impossible to say just how much a screw costs. The purchase price is just one factor. Besides that, additional services are a significant part of the total cost and it is important to find the right balance between price and performance.

Bulten’s advanced products are intended to reduce total costs (so-called In-Place-Cost, IPC) for the customer. IPC is the total cost from development until the fastener is mounted and performs its function.

The cost of the physical fastener normally amounts to about 15% of the total cost. By using Bulten’s innovative solutions and value-added technologies the customer can achieve cost reductions of IPC while maintaining – and in many cases improve – performance. This is done, for example by standardization, simplified assembly and reduction of indirect peripheral costs such as development costs.
