What trufix fixings ireland does

Trufix Fixings Ireland Ltd is an Irish-based manufacturer and distributor of construction fixings, founded in 1984 and headquartered at the Arklow Business Enterprise Centre, Kilbride Industrial Estate, County Wicklow. The company produces eight product categories: Chemical Anchors (including the POLYESTER SF styrene-free resin anchoring system), Mechanical Anchors (shield anchors, drop-in/wedge anchors, throughbolts, concrete bolts, eye and hook bolts), Frame Fixings, Insulation Fixings, Lightweight Fixings (spring toggles, self-drill fixings, plastic and nylon plugs), Nails (masonry nails, express nails, cartridge tool nails), Power Tool Accessories (masonry and steel/wood drill bits), and Screws (drywall screws, Xtra-Drive wood screws). Its core technology centers on a proprietary hydrogen embrittlement-resistant manufacturing process for zinc-plated hardened masonry nails, combining specialized material selection, heat treatment, and plating; the company also holds CE and ETA approvals across multiple product lines.

The company operates a B2B direct sales model serving the Irish construction sector — builders, contractors, and tradespeople — with customers placing orders via phone (+353 402 23300) or email ([email protected]) on a quote-based pricing structure. No e-commerce functionality is present on the website (trufix.ie), and pricing is not publicly disclosed. Revenue is generated through one-time purchases of fixings products. The company reports over 30 years of operating history and 'billions of fixings manufactured,' positioning itself as a quality-focused supplier to the construction sector and claiming to supply 'world leaders in the fixing industry,' though the operating footprint is confined to a single domestic Irish geography with no disclosed export activity.
