As part of their commitment to Quality as a leader in the supply of standard and bespoke fastenings,
TFC's recent enhancements in equipment and procedures has significantly increased their in-house
capability and allowed them to provide product quality and customer service that exceed their
customer's expectations
Having grown the business by almost 400% since 2007 the TFC management team were anxious to
ensure they were maintaining a first-class quality service despite the rapid growth in sales and
recognised they needed to be less reliant upon third party test houses. With an increased need to verify
product quality in-house they now have in place a dedicated test lab capable of providing:
• Product Profile
• Material Hardness
• Surface Roughness
• Positive Material Analysis
• Plating Thickness
• Spring Load/Deflection Characteristics
• Torque Testing
• Digital Measuring Accuracy
• Go/NoGo & Slip Guaging
• Calibrated Test Weighing
Brian Vince, TFC's Quality Manager says “The significant enhancements to our equipment, procedures
and personnel training has allowed us to offer a level of service not generally recognised within the
fastener distributor market. We have always been proud of the reputation TFC hold with it's customers
and we are determined this will be be maintained and improved across all branches of our organisation
