About this employer
Our goal is to be the best partner in the field of fastening technology using our expertise in engineering, manufacturing, procurement and logistics. We also aim to be the employer of choice for those people who share our passion.
The foundations of Nedschroef were laid in 1894, when Dutch entrepreneur Hendrik van Thiel established a manufacturing enterprise in Helmond, the Netherlands, producing rivets for the shipbuilding industry. In the early 1900s, the company also started building its own steam powered machines, as the equipment available at that time was not adequately efficient. Throughout our history, this drive for efficiency has always remained a paramount element of our DNA, resulting in the preservation and a steady growth of our heritage.
Today, Nedschroef is a leading fastening technology company focused on advancing the mobility industry and unlocking the true potential of connections, thereby creating value for its stakeholders. We live and breathe engineering, entrepreneurship and efficiency. Leveraging the strong connection between these three elements enables both our business relations as well as ourselves to thrive.
