About Schulte Spezial-Nietenfabrikation

The medium-sized family business, now in its fifth generation, manufactures solid rivets, semi-tubular rivets and tubular rivets to DIN standards or to drawing. Materials include steel, stainless steel, aluminium, copper and brass; material selection is application-driven, e.g. aluminium for temperature fluctuations in aircraft construction, stainless steel for the food industry and shipbuilding, copper for conductive connections, brass for the leather industry and ship fittings, and steel for high-strength applications in the construction industry and gearbox manufacturing. Customers include automotive suppliers, the automotive industry, aircraft construction, the electrical and electrical engineering industry, and the construction industry.

Stainless steel
Used in the food industry (butcher's and bakery equipment) and in shipbuilding due to its resistance to salty air.
Aluminium
Compensates strong temperature fluctuations, e.g. in air transport, and is unaffected by water vapor, also in household appliances.
