Gunnebo Fastening acquires USE Diamond and merges with Uniset, creating a line of powder-actuated tools and the corresponding pins and powder loads. The USE base product line was high-quality mechanical expansion anchors. In 1985, the company developed an adhesive anchor to continue finding customer solutions.

The facility in York closes, and all operations are moved to Lonoke, Arkansas.
mkt fastening
The Germany-based 'MKT GmbH & Co. KG' expanded production and established 'MKT Fastening, LLC' in Arkansas. We developed customized solutions and were able to offer a complete range of metric and fractional products for the US market.
That’s a solid connection.
We aim to build partnerships with our customers, distributors, and suppliers to be as strong as the products we produce.
