What KVT Fastening does

KVT Fastening is a German industrial supplier of connection technology and fastening solutions, founded in 1973 and headquartered in Illerrieden, with a secondary German presence in Leinfelden-Echterdingen. The company offers a broad catalog of standard and premium fasteners (screws, nuts, washers, pins, direct screw connections, safety, clamping, anchoring, press-fit, riveting, threaded inserts, clip fastenings, welding, ultrasonic welding, embedding and bonding) plus functional elements for electrical, access, and sealing applications, and serves enterprise customers across at least nine verticals including aerospace, data centers, electrical and electronics, electric vehicles, HVAC, medical technology and life sciences, rail vehicles, robotics, and semiconductors.

Beyond components, KVT operates engineering services covering composite materials, design optimization, and validation, and increasingly bundles its offering with Smart Factory logistics capabilities such as Smart Factory Assembly (real-time process monitoring and optimization) and SmartLabel Cloud (cloud-connected container-based inventory visibility), together with Bestands- und C-Teile-Management (inventory and C-parts management). These services are positioned around a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) framework that claims 15-85% cost reduction for customers.

Revenue is generated primarily through direct field sales and engineering-led engagements with enterprise customers, complemented by an e-shop for online ordering. KVT operates within the Bossard Deutschland footprint (a Bossard Group entity) and reaches the market through content marketing (blog, white papers, online calculators, CAD portal), events (including an Ocean Racing sponsorship), and case studies targeting industrial engineering and procurement decision-makers.
