knowledge, coupled with an enthusiasm

are what makes Star’s mix of services
invaluable.

As Arconics’s largest UK Huck® distributor,
Star has gained a reputation as a solutions
provider. As well as stocking the standard
Huck fastener range, Star have become
experts in solving problems and are
flexible enough to adapted them to the
needs of their customers.
As the use of lightweight panel and
materials evolves in the manufacturing
industry, Star Fasteners have tailored their
Huck fastener range to meet customers’
needs. The new Penta-Lok fastener and
encapsulated Hucktainer® are ideally
suited to this market.
Star recognised a gap in the market
for a mechanical blind fastener that
can be quickly installed in the multiple
variations of new composite panels. The
Penta-Lok is a 6.4mm diameter plated
18
PECM Issue 26
steel, peel fastener which is ideally suited
for use within thin materials or delicate
composites.
The Hucktainer® panel fastener has been
designed specifically for joining light
weight composite panels, plastic and
fiberglass reinforced plywood to a wide
range of materials. With this in mind Star
Fasteners have brought to the market a
coloured encapsulated head Hucktainer.
Its increased head diameter spreads the
load and helps eliminate panel crushing.
Hucktainer can be encapsulated in any
colour; with low order quantities and quick
turnaround it is proving to be very popular.
Star Fasteners stocks a comprehensive
range of rivets and threaded inserts. The
in-house powder coating service means
any stock item can be coloured to meet
customers’ requirements and despatched
at short notice. Star also stocks associated
new tools and related consumables,
offering hire, repairs and servicing.
It’s a unique mix that offers infinite
solutions.
