2017-06-13
PennEngineering® announces that it now uses lead-free material for the manufacture of its entire cataloged product line of steel fasteners. This industry leadership action is being implemented to eliminate any potential lead-related environmental issues. The lead-free steel fasteners are made possible by applying new materials, processes, and tool technologies without compromising fastener quality and performance. The conversion applies to all current production at PennEngineering manufacturing facilities around the world.
The action additionally reinforces PennEngineering’s leadership stature in the regulatory arena, notably regarding an expected European Commission deadline for all manufacturers in 2019. The deadline is related to the Commission’s RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substance) Directive, which became effective in 2006.
Founded in 1942 and headquartered in Danboro, PA, USA, PennEngineering operates state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities and key sales offices across North America, Europe, and Asia and is supported by a worldwide technical sales network tailored to customer needs and markets.
