Our Products are Out of this World!

mars_roverRawlplug DIN 7984 bolts used for the construction of Curiosity rover, which is roaming around the surface of MARS, performing examinations of historical and current conditions on the planet’s surface since the 6th of August, 2012. It is the biggest and most technologically advanced vehicle among those sent to the planet so far.

None of the elements constituting it were chosen by accident. Due to extreme conditions, the design includes only the highest quality solutions of unquestionable durability. Another priority was the reduction of weight, which is quite difficult, as the exploration takes place in a range of temperatures from -127 to +40 degrees Celsius, requiring a solid and strong construction.

The Curiosity mission has traveled a distance of 56,000,000 km from earth to the Martian Gale crater. It was initially planned to take 687 days, however thanks to a very rigid construction and efficient design, this mission duration has doubled.


We’re at the very top.

Dubai_320x320At a height of 829.8m, Burj Khalifa is the tallest building in the world. Access to its 160 floors is provided by 57 elevators, with the fastest ones able to cover a distance of 124 floors in 60 seconds. That means they can travel at a speed of up to 10m/s!

The stability and load-bearing capacity of the elevator system is based on Rawlplug M10, M12 and M16 R-XPT Throughbolts. These were chosen by a Rawlplug customer, one of the major elevator providers in the UAE, Bahrain and Qatar. Their decision was based upon a series of tests which proved both the quality and reliability which only a premium producer can deliver.


Good is Just Not Enough

Header_100yr2

John Joseph Rawlings, a visionary, an inventor and an entrepreneur in one. A renaissance man in the business of fastenings. The man who invented the first dowel in the world, forever inscribing himself into the history of the construction industry. Good was not enough for him. He was ahead of his time.

He created a new standard of customer service in the broadly understood fastening fastenings sector – a service based not only on providing customers with the most modern solutions, but on complete support related to their use. His values such as: the focus on the innovation, a dialogue with the client, the focus on understanding his their needs, the simplicity and the highest quality over the last 100 years. These values have continued to accompany the development of the Rawlplug brand and its expansion into markets around the world. Although the last century has changed a lot in the construction industry, one fact remains the same: Rawlplug is an expert in the fastenings sector, which, by creating an offer for customers, has in mind not only professional products that can be trusted, but also specialized services for engineers, designers and contractors, and innovative training that spreads knowledge and improves competences.

Products. Services. Training. These are the three pillars of the comprehensive offer that will meet the expectations of even the most demanding customers. Read about it in one of the series of editorial articles prepared for the 100th anniversary of the Rawlplug brand.
