ASTM materials at a glance

ASTM materials are based on ASTM International specifications and define material-related requirements such as chemical composition, mechanical properties and test conditions. ASTM standards are particularly widespread in the American market, but also play an important role in international business and in global technical specifications. Of course, we also manufacture components and fasteners for our customers according to ASTM specifications - precisely, in compliance with standards and tailored to the respective application.
