Hafren Security Ratings

Security Level 1

Entry Level
Fasteners offer protection from vandalism and opportunistic crime. Drivers can be purchased by the general public.

Security Level 2

Enhanced Security
Fasteners are less Common and less Recognizable. Driver Tooling is non-standard and Harder for the general public to buy.

Security Level 3

Medium Security
Rarer (less well-known) products. Supply of driver tooling is controlled, less readily available to buy, enhancing the security of the assembly.

Security Level 4

High Security
Either 1-way permanent fixing, or rare Hafren patented high security products requiring specialist tooling to remove (only available from Hafren approved distributors).

Security Level 5

Maximum Security
Highest security available. Products are either 1-way permanent fixings, or require bespoke exclusive, custom made driver tools to remove.

Brexit does not need to be chaotic. We'll continue to serve you and together we can “Stamp Out the Impact of Theft Globally.”

Sources of Supply/Supply Chain Stability

We maintain relationships with a number of suppliers in the UK, Europe and around the world. This delivers enormous reach and flexibility in terms of maintaining supply chain stability. It also offers us alternative product sources in the event of any supply issues.

Stock Control/Continuity of Supply

Planning and information are key and we encourage all of our customers to talk to us about higher volume/process critical products for which continuity of supply is of paramount importance. We have also recently invested in additional warehousing (effectively increasing our stock holding by 3x).

Movement of Product

Hafren Fasteners has extensive in-house expertise for both import and export given that we currently source or supply product to and from Europe and the rest of the world. This includes expertise and relationships in areas such as freight forwarding and regulatory affairs. In addition, we maintain multiple UK/Pan-European relationships with carriers which helps to maximise our ability to maintain product movements.
