Most fastener suppliers stop at the box. CSG is an engineered solutions partner, not a commodity distributor: we take on the part, the source behind it and the replenishment that keeps it at the point of use.
Authorised supply of the ranges OEMs specify by name, including BUMAX, Böllhoff, HellermannTyton, ITW Nexus, Sherex and Southco.
Catalogue fasteners plus parts built to your drawing, sourced through the Bufab network. See custom fasteners.
Vendor-managed inventory, consignment and kitting, so buyers stop raising routine orders for low-value parts.
Certificates, material test reports and compliance documentation travel with the parts, under ISO 9001:2015 and AS9120 Rev B.
These are the named lines on CSG’s brand portfolio. Each sits alongside standard fasteners in the same programme, on one purchase order.

CSG supplies OEMs across industries from aerospace, automotive and electric vehicles to rail and bridge, oil and gas, renewable energy, medical equipment and heavy equipment. Each has its own page under industries, and named customer results are on the case studies page, including SSAB, Steelcase, Trane Technologies and Bladt Industries.
Four steps from first enquiry to a running supply line.
We match each line to a brand or a qualified source and confirm grade, finish and the documentation you need.
Pricing comes back with the supply model that fits: spot order, blanket release, consignment or VMI.
Parts ship with their paperwork, and managed programmes are reviewed against real consumption.
Questions buyers ask before switching or adding a fastener source.
