The purpose-built production facility being built in Sandviken, Sweden, represents a major milestone in the company’s continued development.
The new 9,700 m² factory will replace the current BUMAX factory in Åshammar, where the company has manufactured high-performance stainless steel fasteners since the 1950s. The investment will provide state-of-the-art infrastructure, improved production efficiency and enhanced capacity to support future growth.
More efficient stainless steel fastener production
“The new production facility will provide us with many advantages – from optimising our production and reducing production lead times, to operating more energy efficiently and helping us to further reduce our carbon footprint,” says Martin Dahlgren, CEO at BUMAX.
The facility will also enhance the company’s research, development and testing capabilities with a laboratory roughly double the size of its current one. Its location close to Sandviken and major transport routes will also improve logistics and access to industrial expertise.
From a customer perspective, the high-quality and high-performance nature of BUMAX products will remain unchanged. But the new facility will strengthen the company’s ability to further develop its manufacturing capabilities, and even better support customers with technically demanding applications.
Production will continue during the transition with minimal disruption, with the move planned for Q3 2027 during the company’s annual summer shutdown, which will be extended slightly.
