ESPA UK

The host company
With origins back in the early 1970s, the company has evolved from seven separate UK fastener companies, including both manufacturing and distribution. The Head Office, in Dudley, West Midlands UK is where the full manufacturing facility is based.

Fully approved by BSi to BS EN9001: 2008, a dedicated and experienced team commit themselves to understanding customers' specific requirements to meet their quality, commercial, logistical and technical demands and every facet of the business concentrates on doing just that.

With a background as a supplier of standard and special fasteners, the full range of materials has changed dramatically over the years. The product portfolio follows the demands of customers providing the same excellent service and business ethics on many other products.
