Stafa

What Stafa does

Stafa, operating through Stafa Group B.V., is a Dutch family-owned fastener wholesaler and specialty fastening solutions provider founded in 1977 and headquartered in Maarheeze, Netherlands. The company supplies 75,000+ standard fastener SKUs — including bolts, nuts, screws, washers, threaded rods, anchors, and structural bolting assemblies (HV EN 14399, SB EN 15048) — the majority held in stock for short delivery times, alongside custom-manufactured Special Parts engineered to customer drawings. Stafa holds exclusive distribution rights for August Friedberg GmbH's HV preloaded bolt assemblies across Benelux and France, and owns the proprietary Multi+® wood screw, LogiBin® Kanban, and AF PRO® lubrication brands. The company holds ISO 9001 certification continuously since 1997, with additional EN 14399, EN 15048, ISO 10684, TÜV, and EN 10204/3.1 certifications supporting European structural construction procurement.

Stafa operates a hybrid go-to-market combining direct regional sales account managers (covering Netherlands & Flanders, D-A-CH & Southern Europe, France, and Slovenia) with a multilingual e-commerce webshop (Dutch, English, German, French, Slovenian) offering customer-specific net pricing and real-time stock visibility. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time product sales of standard fasteners and custom-manufactured specials, supplemented by ancillary services including hot-dip galvanizing and surface treatment, kitting and assembly, custom packaging and labeling, container import, and the LogiBin® just-in-time inventory integration. The company serves five primary verticals — construction & infrastructure, energy (wind, solar), woodworking & furniture, installation & electrical engineering, and wholesale distribution — delivering to customers in more than 50 countries via offices in the Netherlands, Slovenia, France, and Taiwan (THL-Stafa LTD).

Stafa's competitive positioning rests on the combination of breadth (75,000+ SKUs), depth (custom manufacturing plus surface treatment, kitting, and packaging under one roof), proprietary branded SKUs, exclusive European distribution of a German HV bolt manufacturer, and a layered certification stack. The company is privately held with no disclosed investors, funding rounds, or revenue figures, and operates with 101–250 employees across its four-country footprint.
