Our Story

Local expertise, global strength

CSG was built by acquiring and unifying two established specialists — A1 Fastener & Components for automotive OEMs, and Perlane Sales for engineered and aerospace fastening. Together with the CSG Distribution Center, these three divisions deliver end-to-end C-parts management under one roof.

Behind every division stands Bufab’s global infrastructure: 1,600+ suppliers across 30+ countries, decades of C-parts expertise, and the purchasing power of a publicly traded global corporation.
