Growermetal and Nord-Lock Group (Sweden) have entered into a strategic production and technical development agreement for the manufacture of wedge-locking washers. Nord-Lock has seen the global demand for their wedge–locking washer continue to grow strongly. The objective of this strategic cooperation is to ensure a high quality production capacity and technical development for the future.

Nord-Lock has been manufacturing and supplying their original wedge-locking safety washers for more than 30 years and is widely recognized as the market leader in this sector.
As a result of this agreement, the Nord-Lock Group has acquired the Grower Twin-Lock® brand and Growermetal has agreed to supply wedge-locking washers exclusively to the Nord-Lock Group.
Therefore, with this strategic partnership, Growermetal shall further increase its expertise and production volumes in the wedge-locking washers business.

The Nord-Lock Group has an extensive global sales network and has shown a strong ability to grow through technical sales. Together we will provide the world with wedge-locking products of the highest quality.’
