Spax International (stylized SPAX International) is a fastening technology company based in Ennepetal, Germany. It belongs to the holding company of the Altenloh, Brinck & Co Group (ABC) and is the manufacturer of Spax brand screws. As particle board screws for which pre-drilling is no longer necessary, they were introduced to the European market in 1967 under the brand name ABC-SPAX. Spax International and American sister company Altenloh, Brinck & Co. US in Bryan, Ohio, together produce around 10 billion screws a year. [3]
Spax International was created in 2008 from the renaming of the predecessor company ABC Verbindungstechnik GmbH & Co. KG. The Fastening Technology division had been spun off from ABC in 2003 and placed as an independent company under the umbrella of the Altenloh, Brinck & Co Group, which now functions as a holding company. The reason for the later renaming was an increasing awareness of the need for targeted brand management, with the aim of transferring the well-known brand name Spax to the company itself and to other fastening technology products. [4]
Spax International manufactures at two sites in Ennepetal and Gevelsberg, Germany. The Spax sales companies in Spain, France, Poland, UK, Sweden and Australia belong to the parent company ABC. [1]
