We are manufacturers, designers and suppliers of insert technology for metals, composites and metal alloys.

With over half a century of experience, we manufacture a wide variety of inserts for metals and supply these inserts for metals to major moulding and mechanical assembly companies throughout the world.
 

With our 54 years of leading experience in the insert technology industry, our product range is extensive and includes differing options in brass threaded inserts.

Our brass threaded inserts are specifically designed for moulding-in during the cycle of the moulding machine to provide the highest performance levels.

As a specialist fastener manufacturing company, our development and manufacture of brass and steel threaded inserts is unrivaled. Our threaded inserts product range includes the Tappex Trisert range of inserts for plastics.

The Tappex Trisert inserts we supply include:

• Double ended inserts
• Reduced headed inserts
• Headed inserts

We also supply the Trisert-3®, a self-tapping plated steel or stainless steel insert and the Foamsert®, a self-tapping brass insert for use in lower density materials.

As suppliers to major moulding and mechanical assembly companies worldwide, our inserts for plastics are impeccably manufactured to the highest grade possible.

Our inserts for plastics are suitable for a multitude of applications and are designed to meet specific requirements while offering reliability and durability. A fine example is the Tappex Suresert, designed for ultrasonic or heat installation into notch sensitive thermoplastics.

Our unequalled supply of inserts includes many options and specifications in male inserts. Our male inserts are based upon the female equivalent and are supplied with a dog point to ease location of the nut and to significantly reduce the risk of cross threading.

Male inserts for plastics we supply include:

• Press fit inserts
• Self tapping inserts
• Mould-in inserts

Within our eclectic variety of inserts, we manufacture, design and supply cold press fit or moulded-in anti-creep spacers.

These anti-creep spacers are expertly designed to provide reinforced clearance holes for bolts to pass through a plastic moulding, allowing for metal-to-metal clamping forces to be applied to an assembly while avoiding over-stressing the plastic.
